Maybe I am just old school, but I am of the opinion that "speech should get double quotes" and 'thoughts should get single quotes'. ...I know, I know, I am weird for using the tools as they are (sort of) intended, sorry, sorry.Personally, I would find this solution distracting, confusing or annoying, but then again I have no problem with the italics. I don't recall a single case where I would have mistaken spoken text for the thought one.
Otherwise, a very good assessment of the game!

Haha, actually it's interesting. I've checked some of my favourite Japanese VN's with professional translation and they ALL use "double quotes" for speech and just plain text for thoughts. While the "western" games here use plain text for speech and (parentheses) for thoughts as I remember. Hmm...Maybe I am just old school, but I am of the opinion that "speech should get double quotes" and 'thoughts should get single quotes'. ...I know, I know, I am weird for using the tools as they are (sort of) intended, sorry, sorry.

You know those "double quotes" might really be a solution. It does makes it easier to differentiate now that I focus on it.Haha, actually it's interesting.

Makes sense for more traditional text, but in this format, I tend to look at the text blocks almost like comic text bubbles. So I guess I prefer to declutter and do away with quotation marks in general. Unless the character is actually quoting from something/someone else, in which case use 'em doubles for sure.Maybe I am just old school, but I am of the opinion that "speech should get double quotes" and 'thoughts should get single quotes'. ...I know, I know, I am weird for using the tools as they are (sort of) intended, sorry, sorry.
That leaves interior monologues, and honestly, I'm ok with most of the options (different colour text, italics, brackets) as long as it's used consistently and isn't too heavy on the eye.

Guys, just peeking in to say it looks like it might be tomorrow. I added some new stuff to the PDA and it's being a total bitch to work right for some reason.
It's probs something stupid, and if I can't get it to work in the morning I'll strip it out.

Sorry to hear you're having an issue like that.
Of course, I have no problem waiting a little longer. I'd tell you to take as long as necessary to fix the bugger, but I understand how frustrating this must be for you. Again, I can only wish you good luck in finding the cause.
Either way, best of luck, but as much as I like to see stripping, features are usually an exception. Sometimes when you take a break, you can see it with fresh eyes (though I know how hard it can be to stop when you are into it).

You forgot one instance of "it" in your light editing.
or maybe that was intentional.
