Itch.io didn't notify me that you responded! I'm so sorry for this late response! I am using the variable-based character system. I admit, it is very messy. I'll definitely look into creating custom classes to clean up my code! Thank you for the advice and well wishes for my project! :D

Thank you for your response! I did go through the tutorial, and it does make sense, but I think what I was trying to accomplish leans more toward the RPG-Style. I'm currently creating a visual novel dating sim, so my idea is that when the player is given the option to give a gift, the inventory screen will automatically pop up, and the player can select which item they want to give away. I'll be willing to wait until the new version of the inventory system; my visual novel is nowhere near done! Keep up the great work, and thank you again! I'm looking forward to the new system!

Hi, I deleted my earlier post because I figured out how to get the store to work! But I wanted to try using the inventory to let the player give gifts to their love interest. Is there a way to make the items selectable and have options to give said items to someone? I tried to figure it out myself, but so far, no luck. 

Quick question. Is there a way to set up contacts so that they only show up in the phone once you reach a certain point in the story? Like, one at a time? For example, the mc gets a new phone, meets a person, they give them the number, and then it shows up on the phone. How would I set this up? Currently, in my code, all of the text conversations are showing up on the phone, but at this early point in the story, there should only be one contact, not all 13. Sorry for bugging you again!

Thank you so much for your help and continued updates! You've done an incredible job! :D

Make sure to take a well-rested break!

One more thing to ask! I wanted to add notification sounds to the phone when the player is receiving/sending messages. I figured out where to add the sound when the notification pops up on screen, but I'm not sure what area to put them in for sending/receiving messages. Do you know where I should look within the phone.rpy file?

Yep! That fixed it! Thank you so much! :)

Hey Kesash, is there a way to keep the phone's background color the same after closing the phone? I picked "Plum" for the background color, but after I closed and reopened the phone, it defaulted back to "Midnight". Any ideas?

Hey Zoey,

This code is amazing and it's what I'm looking for to work with my project! I have a quick question. Is it possible for the player to open and close the phone at any time/point they want? Because I was trying to create an image button and screen so the phone can be pulled up or put away at any time, but I'm having no luck. Any advice? Thanks!

Is there a way for the blink to work for side images? I wanted my main character to be shown as a side image on the left-bottom side of the screen. I got the blinking to work, but she's not positioned correctly.  Any advice?
