Oh yeah when I first switched from twine to Renpy, we tried it both ways. So there was a short time period in there somewhere, where it worked like how my SBC game works. Which I don't like, but that aside, I had to break up the text. Like when I was writing my text I had to put something in there so that it knew it was at the end, and then start another paragraph.
I did not like that at all. In some cases I had to break up the middle of a sentence, I couldn't tell where to put the things. It really was a hassle. I think it works okay for more simplistic kind of visual novels that you see most of the time, much like SBC, where you have a few sentences, and then a few sentences, this guy says one thing, then this guy says another.
But it did not work for me, I didn't like it very much like that. I liked the way that it worked on twine much better where you could scroll and I could just write unhassled. So that's when I held that poll, so myself, I'm going to have the scroll bar. I'm not going to get rid of it, and I'm sure someday I'm going to have to learn how to use Renpy, although I'll probably have most of these menus and everything ready to go because of Mars, so hopefully it won't be too hard for me if I ever have to do it if he happens to pass away or something. Although I figure I'll go first lol
But at any rate, for me I like to be able to scroll and as the creator I like to be able to just write and not have to worry about breaking up weird chunks of my writing. I'm able to write and let my mind flow, and when I scroll it's no different than you scrolling on this screen right now. I understand it's not going to be for everyone, but like I also said, if they want something that they can just click through or whatever, they have plenty of other things to choose from. Anyway, as always I appreciate the feedback! But I just want to be clear and set that expectation again that it isn't going to change. I have no plans of ever changing it.
