hmm also I think lights from the lamp to the left are wrong :geek:
Friends in Need will return in 2030, after I fix all the lamps and bad hair. u_u

Been trying this one out for a while, I'm liking it so far. Only negative is that it's *infested* with 'snicker' and 'giggle' nonsense.
Just to address this, I try to be as conservative as I can with renders, and that often means distant shots where the characters' faces aren't super visible. At times like that, I need a way to make it clear how a character feels.

Like, if Nicki says, "I fuckin' hate you," to Guy, that reads pretty clearly as animosity.

If she says, "I fuckin' hate you - snicker," it's obvious she's just busting balls.

I've also been trying to tone down a lot of narrative dialogue. So, where once I might have written something like, "The little brunette rolls her eyes, an exasperated smile stretching across her face. 'I fuckin' hate you,'" now I just go with the more succint "snicker."

Ultimately, I'm still kind of figuring out how to work in this format. It's a weird one! I'm expected to be more brief than writing pure prose, but more long-winded than something like a comic book. Finding that balance can be difficult.

Then, add in the fact that I have to write multiple paths at once, and it's easy to fall into the trap of repeating myself, without really realizing it.

They say a good writer direct the scene with visuals, camera/photography , body language and so on.

Try to not second guess yourself into madness bro. You're already doin gods work.
The self reflection and willingness to interact with us is already a fucking boom in my opinion.
I like to joke around most of the time but for now I'll be serious.
You are right bro the game kicks butt.

I wouldn't call giggles or snickers nonsense.
I will stand by my opinion that this is one of the best written games on this site.

-Edit-
It's a bit high on the conflict scale as well. There's always something 'bad' going on.
Ah, that's part of the charm. If all the giggling and snickering wasn't there it just wouldn't be the same. It's kinda like how in University of Problems a few folks were complaining about the girls going "Tee Hee" until the author removed them all and Sancho had to write a mod to put them all back. The writing here is way better than UoP when it comes to the characters expressing their mirth.

The MC dialogue in UoP is BAD! It's like reading Ned Flanders.

I wonder why Guy is so clueless when it comes to looking at pictures. Whenever he does he turns into Mr Magoo. Not only is he torturing himself about that picture of Ashe on Halloween but he isn't making the connection after talking to Spicy Sapphire that she said she was a waitress and sure enough, the blonde version of Pepper is Britanni's ex-coworker. Probably the one in the comments called saffronSpiceSonice. The twin theory is looking better and better.
