Yeah, that looks alright! And as mentioned above, feel free to start building the VN framework if you want to now.
Good luck!

Hi Ian! The reason we listed RPGMaker as an example of an engine that most likely isn't suitable for this jam is because in order to make a functional map for players to explore in, you'd need multiple tiles (something for the floor, the walls, objects in the room, etc.). That would not be in the spirit of the jam, so engines similar to RPGMaker (such as RPG Paper Maker) wouldn't work well.
Panda3D looks like it'll be fine though. Good luck with the jam!
Ah, I see--of course! I hadn't thought of its tile-based approach as--indeed--incurring the presence of a number of assets. Fair enough, and thank you for the explanation! ^_^
And thank you for confirming that Panda3D should be okay--and indeed, it has no such requirement, I do believe. ^_^
(The only caveat that I'll mention is that I believe that it handles text by internally rendering the glyphs of a given font to a texture. I'm hoping, however, that this might not count against it in this jam.)
