Yep, that’s totally possible! You can do it using the **story** and **mini menu** extensions together. Here’s the simplest way to explain it to him: * * * ### **1️⃣ Story Choices** Use `story.showPlayerChoices` to show text options in your story. Then check what the player picked: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/5/2/529757036bebb22210d473095e4b405888ed98ca.png) - Shows a text menu for the story. - `checkLastAnswer` lets you run code depending on the choice. * * * ### **2️⃣ Mini Menu for Shop / Character Selection** Create a mini menu with sprites or names of characters: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/5/3/53b74040871cc7718f157241643b13255bdf0b71.png) - `selection` is the string of the item picked. - `selectedIndex` is its position in the menu. - Inside the `if` blocks, you can deduct coins, unlock the character, or assign it as the player. * * * ### **3️⃣ How to combine** 1. Show **story choices** → handle the story result. 2. Show **mini menu** → player selects or purchases a character. 3. Assign the selected character to the `player` sprite and start the game. * * * 💡 **Tip:** Keep track of unlocked characters with a variable or array. That way, players can only select characters they’ve bought. ---

Sorry If I’ve been offline for a while, I was too busy with things to do this. Anyway, my idea for the artists is that I could design some characters and get feedback on what you guys prefer. Then I could add some more to the story, I also have some ideas for more characters 1.Scientist:Can gather ingredients to cure players and cure npcs 2.Adventurer:Has a backpack used for collecting artifacts hidden around ---
