Got through the first bit I had written. Using variables for pronouns is going to be very tricky, especially with all the subtle differences in grammar (you use his and him for two different statements, but her for both of those, that sort of thing). But, that just add a fun new layer of challenge! I'm too comfy with RenPy anyway, I need to break out of my comfort zone.
Also added the first possible friendship affector. It will be possible to get negative friendship points. Not that the player will ever see it, I just think its funny.
I also kind of laid out the story. I commented different sections to state each story beat. If I write one section a day (playtesting and editing as I go), then the game will be fully-written about two days before the end of the challenge. That'll give me enough time to add music & sound fx, as well as get a page ready to go. Its just a matter of sticking to my schedule and not crunching. ^^
Anyway, tomorrow another robot lad enters the picture. Its a robot lad that I wrote specifically to cater to me, and is one of the two characters that I will find REALLY hard to write out potential death scenes for.
