I've seen this before, that when you play for the second/nth time, when a menu shows up, the menu option(s) you've picked on previous playthrough(s) appears greyed-out or on a duller color, making it easier for ending/variation scenes hunting.

My logic tells me I'd have to establish persistent variables for every menu choice in the game and check their value, like what people do with the CG galleries.



...But then I have no idea how to make an if for the menu button appearance/style, using that persistent variable data.

Is there a way to do this?

Style menu_choice_chosen and menu_choice_chosen_button. There's no need to maintain the persistent variables yourself - Ren'Py does it for you.

Awesome! Thank you, I'll give it a try <3

So...
I styled the chosen menus as you said, like this:



But nothing happened =/

I went to investigate the choice screen then. For some reason, it stroke me as if it wasn't really considering the "chosen" part, or at least there was no condition that would instruct it to change the style if the button was chosen. I didn't really know how would that work, though, so I couldn't figure out how to put that myself.

Then I exercised search and research-fu for a couple of hours and found out that I was right, that the choice screen had to be modified.

I hope this helps other people that want to do the same as well, and save them some time too! ^^
