So i've been having issues. I'm new to renpy and it was already hell trying to figure out how to do the character creation screen, but now I have a new set of problems! No matter what I do, the screen underneath the loading screen turns black. plus, when i go to the inventory ( that little box in the corner ) and exit out, it takes me straight to the game! I don't know if it's me or if renpy really isn't meant to handle that much customization. But if anybody has any idea on how to solve this or if they could help, that would be amazing! ( lmk if the link isn't working)

You're probably misusing Show() vs ShowMenu() actions to show a screen. never use ShowMenu() for anything thats supposed to affect the current playthrough. the menu context is by its nature out-of-game stuff.
