I ended up creating my own pronoun selection tool since other tools like this one limit you to the predefined options (meaning the player can't choose wacky pronouns if they want). Doing the {0}{1}{2} thing is pretty neat. Might implement that option in my code as well. I did this by creating an actor class like so: init python: mc_he = "he" mc_his = "his" mc_name = "John" class Actor: def __init__(self, character, name, sub_pro, obj_pro): self.c = character self.name = name self.he = sub_pro self.his = obj_pro Then I have a custom screen that lets the player choose he/him she/her or other. If they choose other, they're prompted for their subject pronoun and objective pronoun. Then I call python: mc = Actor(Character("mc_name", dynamic=True), mc_name, mc_he, mc_his) So when I write dialogue I use things like: mc.c "My name is [mc.name] and my pronouns are [mc.he]/[mc.his]." Feels more natural to write that way to me.
This tool does allow custom pronouns! Setup should just take a couple minutes for each new pronoun you add, and they're given equal weight as the other pronouns. Good on you for making your own pronoun tool, though! I always love hearing how people approach different problems!
@@vimi It does allow for the programmer to create custom pronouns, but not the player. So instead of trying to create a pronoun for every edge case, I just let the player decide.
I just discovered this channel and am learning to make my own little visual novel dating game so I cant want to go thru all these videos and hopefully learn more !

Congrats! Best of luck to you!
Thank you for this tutorial. I've never used this tool before, so it was good to hear you showing us how to edit it.
This is such a helpful tool! Yay for more personalized options for the player!
Yay!
Great tool, love the options for adding [s] onto words when needed.
I subscribed a few weeks ago but didn't regret it. You are making awesome and very helpful videos. :D
Thank you! That's great to hear! I'll try to keep up the winning streak!
Would it be possible for you to make a video centering on persistent values?
Thank you for your very cool videos ! I hope you will make many more.
That's the plan!
Looks like another useful tool!
I'm always on the lookout for more!
excellent video, thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks. I used this to make my pronouns list of 2.
Pretty QoL, huh ^^
Just SO many things to love about this tool :)
Can it handle the thousands of pronouns being invented every day?
Name all 1000 invented yesterday, and I'll tell you if it can handle it.
