Squeeky, if you'd rather this be in Projects, that's fine. I don't think it's too bad being here, though.
As for doing checkpoints, that's doable with the code the way it is, but not necessarily simple. Phreaky, if you want to do checkpoints, let me know and I'll show you how to do it. The big trouble with checkpoints is that you have to remember to update them when you add new variables. Maybe I should have put all the variables in an array....
TheBrain, great suggestions. Yes, subtle is good. I like subtle. (-: I especially like the idea of drawn out feedback. Your "cold" example is a great one.
This isn't really a general adventure game rule, but something I think these games need more of is romance. I don't know any women who would actually act the way they do in these games. That's okay, they're games after all. But more romance wouldn't hurt anything. (-:
(The other thing we need more of is foreplay. After working so hard to get to the sex, it should last longer.)
