I agree as for my own VN I started working with a custom-made engine until I completed the rollback-feature requirements; after seeing the scope of it, I checked renPy and found it basically did everything right already. In many ways I felt

If you take the graph of the game, you basically have a DFA (deterministic finite automaton), so the problem is purely a reachability one which is trivial. In renPy, you have arbitrary variables that can be used to define the possible trans

It's the usual low-quality, clickbaity "scientific" reporting that isn't that much present in the research article. Unless you are very careful about saying that it's "a" showdown and does not imply that t

I suspect the impact would be extremely small compared to BMI, so it would be likely that there would be a link because of some dependent variables.

It's not in one Chapter, but Chapters are called "Section" (and so ignored!). It should be simple to have a dictionary of the different units that are used (I would assume "Part" would fail too, as would the hilario

I've done a short LLM-powered VN, and LLM actions were restricted to local interactions only because of how weak it is at making up the story. It's great at removing the parser-based interactions, but I think that's it. There
