For shouting, whispering and such, Id say better use different font sizes (SHOUT,speak,whisper).
Having too many unnecessary info in the text box can be distracting too, kinda like reading subtitles for hearing-impaired with all that additional "descriptive" stuff.

Normally for shouting I would have just used all caps, so something like "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN SARAH?", the only issue with that is I don't know how to capitalize a characters name, as the player will be able to name every character I use [sname] to put the chosen name in a sentence, so for me writing it, it would be "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN [sname]" but the way it would come out in game is "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN Sarah" which I think would look weird I've googled how to capitalize it but to no success.

Development Update - 16-05-2021

It's finished

Just need to take 1/2 days to test it and fix any bugs/the tens of millions of spelling mistakes and then it'll be ready for release...

If you need a tester I'd be happy to help

I'll probably use you for the 2nd release I'm going to try and code that one as each scene get's finished and could use input on how the scene could be changed or what could be added in to smooth it out a little, I don't really want that for this release as I don't want to spend another month adding new things in

The attached file should fix that minor bug (hname/mcname typo).
Just replace the old one with this.
There are a few more text-typos you will encounter (for example "as Hazel show's you around" probably should be replaced with "....shows...").

Btw, great start, all the best Cell!
p.s.
Hazel, the proper one , is my pers favorite

Thank you! And I will play through and see what I think. Right now I have to say it looks like there aren't any choices to make so far.

yeah, in this intro no choices so far.
adding a few would be good for the sake of the story and future development, id say.
unless Cell wanna to do a KN, which is not a case i hope.

Balls, I literally played through it twice to make sure there was nothing like that, will for sure need you for part 2

Cheers, appreciate the fix, I'll add it to the download now xD I think Hazel is my fav to xD

Yeah it follows a linear story, after seeing how much work Cheeky and Ace put into tracking options in WTHI I knew I'd have no chance, so stuck with it being a linear VN

Actually I'm a little confused by this, my script doesn't show it as Hazel saying it

EDIT: Oof, found it

No need to oversimplify it, as there is no need to make it overly complex as WTHI as well.
A balance in between would be the best option imo.
It should be not that hard to have a few routes with the three main girls, and that would make the game a lot better, imo again.

Don't know what to tell you. You'll have to ask Abhai.

Yeah, there is definitely a balance that would appeal to a lot of people. I personally don't play Kinetic Novels. I play to make choices. I don't need 50K choices like in WTHI but being able to choose who the MC fucks or peeps on (I hate peeping), is better.

I did originally have a few options, but if memory serves, say I have some variable in part one like "$ peekpanties = 0" but then in part 2 I add another variable like "$ sleep = 0" or some shit, then the saves from part 1 wouldn't work, or at least that's how I remember it being I only looked into renpy for like a week 2 years back xD

I might see about taking on a coder at some point
