Sorry but… I have problems reading this VN. The story is great I have no complaints besides the points where the text would run out of the text box, same with the amount of transparency making it harder to see each letter. (Reading on Android btw) I just hope you can fix these two issues. It affects the readability of the font (if it is an android issue only).

In short:

  1. Textbox is small and doesn’t fit to all the written text in some areas.

  2. The transparency of the textbox is a bit too high.

  3. Some written dialogues are longer than three lines, exiting the textbox to a fourth line. That sometimes is not visible due to background blending or black background.

Like I said I was reading on a Android device, and so far the game runs fine, just the problem with readability.

Hi! I've updated at least, the transparency now... carp, I may not have done that on the right section for android... I'm working on it.

If you can point out some of these scenes with spacing, I'd love to adjust them.

I've caught most of those for PC, but I'm not quite sure how they all look relative to your mobile display.

Well… I will need to go back and check the scenes that get affected but the thing is… The only ones that are most problematic are the scenes where there is a black background.

Now for which routes, mostly when pursuing Gin and Rohan. Those two I already thoroughly read those. I wonder about the writing you see… The box or textbox design seems to only fit 2 lines of text perfectly. But sometimes there is a fourth or third line of text.

I suggest a change of font if possible, the current font seems thin but as I said is a suggestion. Or an easier option would be to update/redesign the textbox to fit four lines. Honestly, I found that sometimes there is a lot written in a single sentence that just goes to four lines. (found an example)

Is this different on PC? Also, does renpy have a word wrap? I think this is something to keep in mind since I haven’t seen how it works.

I will give some screenshots later to point them out. Currently is outside of my free time but I will help with it as much as I can.

For specification of my device:

System: Android 10. Device name: Samsung galaxy note 9. Resolution screen: 2960x1440.(I doubt is a resolution problem)

I found some for a quick check, lucky thing to be saving a lot. I might be editing this a lot to put those text here.

It is indeed different on PC, but I also need to check that I've properly updated the textbox sprite. That should be a sufficient start for me to find stuff to look at when troubleshooting.


Thank you for sharing. Let me continue working on this.
