Hi there!  I don't really have any good reasons to defend my methods >_< I can only explain it by saying that I'm more of an artist and writer so I tend to solve problems first by using Ren'PY's built in features before initializing python.  I guess I kind of treat labels and call statements like functions at times, like for my hour progression script and location script.  Although I often use the same kinds of lines to finish scenes, I don't always have a uniform approach so I guess having more control over each individual action than clumping them all together in one function gives me a chance to make more conscious decisions?  There's definitely a lot of room to clean things up though...believe it or not it's better organized than Soul Union hahaha >_<.  So yeah I'm sure you were taught a better overall better habits.  I just don't have any computer science or programming experience, I'm just self taught and winging it as I go!   I super look forward to hearing the results of your testing~  Thanks again so much!
