Tinker Tuesday for January 21, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

I could. Rerunning the direct conversation would feel bad but I could probably do something where I store some conversation outcomes as tags in a dictionary and write further branches in different conversations that check that state. But doing those is lowkey a QA nightmare, since it's a lot of string match checks. I suppose I could write a validator, but even then it'd be real hard to verify that the latter conversation always comes after the former.

Starting to see there are reasons why Hades and it's sequel don't give the player dialogue choices. It's a LOT of state management for a feature that isn't going to be as core to gameplay like it is in say BG3.
