Dear
Night Hacker ,
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see the story as a VN. It does work much better that way.
If you want we could work on expanding the story as the original story starts way before the motel.
Here is the first post:

I didn't add the dialog back then but this can be added of course.
I also have all the original files so I could send you the high def versions of all the gif images in whatever file format you need.
(And I can add more variations to the gif scenes.)
Some files didn't really fit the main story but maybe you could add those as a sort of secret path.
Or Dylan could be given some dialog options in which you get a secret path or a bad ending.
Let me know if you want to work on this!

Ahhh, okay, I missed the first parts of this. To be honest, last year I was looking after my wife who had cancer and she died in September and I wasn't around here for several months, not until you posted the part where they first arrived at the Motel, which is what I started saving.
I will work on creating a new version with the first parts. Images 1 to 36 are missing any dialog though, so either you'll have to make something up new, or I will, or I cn just start at image "awam037.png" where you started to add in dialog.
With regard to images, WEBP's are the smallest in size, but still good quality, so I convert everything to them. Videos, well, you can't show GIFs or animated WEBP's with RenPY, it has to be something like an MP4 or WEBM (preferred) with audio (has to have audio, I simply added silent audio to them all). RenPY has some documentation on the codecs it supports in the video files (I used VP8 for video and Vorbis for audio, with WEBM as the container, as it is small) here

If you want choices, not a problem. It's all actualy very easy to program, I can always give you the original script file I made. Menu choices are as simple as this:
menu:
"Yes":
jump yes
"No":
jump no
label yes:
do stuff for yes
jump continue
label no:
do stuff for no
label continue:

It's fairly simple to program.
BUT, I can do it if you please, just send me the story, options and images/videos. I may not be too quick to do anything for a few days as I have tennis elbow acting up (probably from creating TheMotel for a few days of non-stop copy, pasting and editing).
