im sorry!! i wrote this q in a half-asleep stupor last night and wasnt quite sure how to communicate what i was wondering but i think i get it now! was just wondering what the parameters were for “common route” text :)
i thought if 3 lines of text are the same in every playthrough no matter what choices u make, that would be part of common route text and not count, vs the text that comes from the choice u make which would then change across each playthrough and thus count. i dont have a loop built into the gameplay, but players can obviously restart the game and are thus encountering the same base text until they make a choice, at which point new choice-relevant text appears.
idk if that explains it any better but i think i get it now anyways! :p + thank u im advance re: q # 2 as well!
