Here’s a link to a code I created that provides the player with a non binary option (though some people use pronouns like “zhe” instead of “they”.)
Best of luck with your game! Just a word of advice, instead of abandoning your last project, consider putting it to the side and coming back to it later when you’ve thought of a way out of your “dead end”. I’ve had this problem before where I get sick of one project, abandon it to start work on another, but then I get sick of the next project too. You end up with a lot of interesting games that never get finished.
