I was wondering if it's possible for the main character/player to choose their gender at the beginning of the story and have it affect the story. If so, please explain how?

Yes.
You need a variable to store the information on the player character's gender. You could name that variable "gender".
One way you could give the player the option to chose, is by using a menu. It could look like this.
Code: Select all
menu:
"Are you male or female?"
"Male":
$ gender=0
"Female":
$ gender=1
You can then use that information to make the game do different things dependent on the gender
Code: Select all
if gender==0:
--- do something
elif gender==1:
--- do something different
Good luck with your project.

Just wanna add something minor... whenever the other characters talk about your character, they get the pronouns right by doing this.
Code: Select all
init python:
gender = ""
gender1 = ""
gender2 = ""
def genderrrr():
global gender, gender1 ,gender2
# global dTotal
if gender == "male":
gender1 = "he"
gender2 = "guy"
else:
gender1 = "she"
gender2 = "girl"
config.python_callbacks.append(genderrrr)
label start:
"Are you a boy or a girl?"
menu:
"Girl":
$ gender = "female"
"Boy":
$ gender = "male"
you "I'm a [gender2]"
person1 "Hey have you heard of the new student?"
person2 "Ugh that [gender2] always gets in my nerves!"
person1 "Yeah [gender1] is so annoying!"

One more time I'm going to do my regular post.
It is current best practices to define your variables outside of any block (i.e. not in init python), but using default.
Code: Select all
default gender = 1
label start:
"You game starts. etc."
