[Custom Feature Question] Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon Relationship System

[LoganIV]

I'm in the planning phase of a game I want to make, that uses Pokemon mechanics for a unique experience, however, I still want to include a relationship system, where your "relationship points" go up by talking to that specific NPC, and giving them gifts. I'm not sure how to go about scripting such a system though, any help?

Most people tie the relationship to the player by using Game Variables, seeing as that is the easiest method to put in an event.

Yes, like Pokeminer20 said.

A very basic relationship system could be achieved with Variables, and Switches.
Using Conditional Branches you can check if the player has spoken, or gifted the NPC today.
And use variables to track the relationship meter.
