Looking good so far. Nice renders.
I do have some constructive criticism for the dev though.
Something that bothered me was how dark the textbox overlay is, making it hard to pay attention to the details.
example:
To fix this, I unpacked the .rpa game files and edited three things.
- I replaced game/gui/textbox.png with this image, which is completely uniform and has more transparency:
- To fit this image correctly, I had to edit game/screen.rpy
I could probably have just resized the new image, but this solution should work on any size
- With these changes, the ass was more enjoyable, but sometimes the low transparency background made the text unreadable if the contrast was low enough with the background
To fix this, I added who_ and what_ outlines for every character. This can probably be done more cleanly by reusing a variable or extending the Character class or something, but I don't know anything about Python and this worked fine:
Here's how the textbox UI looks like with all of these changes applied:
If I knew how to make this into a mod, I'd do that. But either way, hopefully this is either helpful for the dev or for the players.
