Game Mechanics Update

I've been working on a different organization method. We didn't want to have any choices end up being useless/unimportant, which meant keeping track of them all.

Originally I was doing this manually:

This very quickly became a mess and waaaay more work than I could do (3 choices x 3 choices x 3 choices etc = thousands of boxes).

The new method is taking advantage of some coding Twine has built in, which allows you to keep track of characteristics, so the game can have a money system, keep track of if you've picked up certain items, etc, and change dialogue based on this.

This allows me to keep track of personality traits and give a more personalized end result while keeping the behind the scenes tidier and easy to work with. (It looks the same to the player, but with less of a chance of mistakes since I don't have to spell check 10000 passages.) The traits I'm using are Passive, Aggressive, Curious, Cautious, Fun, and Serious.

I've also been working on the style sheet to make the game more interesting to look at than black text on a white background. I'll look at adding more once I've got all of the technical side sorted.
