Well if it is confirmed, that shows some decent control.
(taking the fifth on whether I mean muscle control or the fact those boys survived the interview).

Well, that was just what they heard. Annie could have just played along with the rumor some reason.

How do you know what Annie actually did or did not do with the ping pong ball? That isn't revealed.Well if it is confirmed, that shows some decent control.
From the BP, what's stuck me the most is her blushing when we tease her afterward <3
Man remember back in the day no shower peeping. Shame on Notty. just kidding.But since she seems to be liked...
*was saving this but is feeling generous this morning...*

There you go. Finally some shower peeking for you
On coloration of text.
I guess it also depends on how deep the story goes.
You can give a lot of information with these things, quick recognition of person, colors can help denote attitudes, give character background. However, is it worth it? Who knows?
Even further should the text box itself change dependent on the person? A military camo colored background? Should it go further and be specified to the person's exact place in the organization? Camo with a slight white and red theme/red cross/Rod of Asclepius for a medic within the army?

*nods nods nods*
I've done a little bit of that on the new boxes *points up*. So at a glance the player can see their rank, ship/organisation, etc and I've changed the backgrounds dependant upon mil, civ, news or VR. I'm mindful not to clutter it up too much but I am starting to wonder if its worth adding some skill badges to some of the others than just the marines.View attachment 404996
A couple need some tweaking now I see them all together (Jolene could do with being slightly larger for example) but...thought I'd share.
Getting busy isn't it?
And still so many more to come...

In my opinion, no. (I say this without knowing what other examples do you have in mind). I see the "marines" badge more like an indication of which military "branch" do they belong to rather than a skill. Though there are skills obviously associated with it.

No use arguing with the ultimate decider upon the lore, it is confirmed and I continue taking the fifth.
Finally caught up.
Is Jolene based on the Dolly Parton song? Seems very reminiscent with the whole husband stealing.
Slightly sad some of the characters from the dev blog won't be joining us but sometimes you have to get rid of the old and take in the new. (insert removal of a regular thread poster joke here).
Ah you were talking the character head boxes, I thought you were more of talking about the actual speaking text and dialog box.
Is there a badge for the reporters reporting fake news?
Adding skills might be interesting but it will clutter fast if you don't design the box well. An empty area above their heads to shove all skills might work to shove them all?

Ah, alas poor Nina...
Oh I am. I just showed the boxes only on that mass poster. So instead of the head and name as we currently have it, it will be replaced by those.
Fake news?! C7 -makes- the news!

Everyone has more or less different skillsets, so it could end up with so large a list of badges that players would forget what each of them indicate.

vs
Christ....the difference is just...urgh
I was meaning really basic things, all things being grey, small handgun to say they can shoot, small ship to say they can fly, small beaker for science, etc. Would probably max out at less than 10 icons to remember, and I would think most characters would max at 3 of them.
It is nicer, and I thought you removed that console near the chair in the chris shot, but this one confirms it.
The box does well, and it is better than what I was thinking since the transparency of the whole dialog box is important to show the art.

Looks neat!
Now all you have to do is change the application launcher icon from the standard ren'py girl with a snake to Amanda with a snake and you have nothing visually resembling any average ren'py VN.

Too cluttery in my opinion. I don't think it should "replace" the PDA bio.
Icons like these are nifty for squad management games where you want to know the top skills at a glance. I don't see the need for it here.
