Itch Io Tools As Seen On Tv
This is Pronoun Tool, a simple tool to select and display pronouns in your Ren'Py game. (For an example of a game using a simpler version of this tool, take a look at TOMATO CLINIC.) It was made in Ren'Py 7.3.5.606 but has support for the extra self-voicing options available in Ren'Py 7.4.
Features:
Itch Io Tools
- Player-selectable pronouns (3 by default but more can be added)

this is a really nice tool and I like it a lot!!! it'd be really cool if custom pronouns were available too
the tool has 3 pronouns by default but more can be added, as stated in the summary.
I know about that but I mean like when the player gets asked what pronouns they have and they choose their own custom set
if that's something you want to do, you could set it up by asking the user for input in renpy. it would cause issues with translation though, so it hasn't been included in this tool.
