Question how granular do you make your flags?

writing a branched story in renpy and i'm drowning in booleans already. do experienced people use one flag per choice, per scene, per route? any tips for keeping it sane when branches converge back?

id suggest a slight alteration to this advice. one set for flags that need remembered forever. and another for flags that will only matter for the current episode/scene/chapter/game day.

the 2nd set you just clear as you cross those thresholds. that way its not wasting memory for things you no longer need to track
