That was one of the things I was planning to change before the full release lol. I had to rush this update out because of an emergency and I forgot to change that back. I even ran a Patreon poll a while ago and most people seemed to agree with your sentiment. I tried for weeks to make it a customizable option, but even with help from more experienced devs, I couldn't figure out how to pull it off. In the end, it turned out that the engine just wasn't built for that kind of customization.Very interesting start to this update
Not to keen on the colored outlining when people speak, it makes it look a little....clunky
Personally, I really liked the colored outlines. I thought it gave the characters a little more flavor. Kind of like they each had their own unique accent. Maybe I can put out a small patch for people who prefer black outlines on the text.
