Hey Trublub! Thanks for your comment!
Automated pause is a great idea. We have thought about having a settings file where you can toggle things like an automated pause at the end of a line, or maybe automatically typed dialogue. I'll hopefully be implementing that soon, although implementation of variables became more of a priority since it makes writing more efficient. Will update the itch and github soon as we've got variables up and running -- in fact, I believe they work on the current clean-main branch in Github, although the code is a mess.
