I know this isn't accurate whatsoever probably but when I saw Zero Summary I thought of this

A simple message background test! Which do you like better?

The names (NAME# in center) being colored or the surrounding border text changing to show which character is talking?

(Using TDO sprite to demonstrate)
#visualnovel #gamedev #rpgmaker #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #TEGame
A textbox of NAME1 Saying "This is dialogue of person 1. This is them speaking, at this very moment." OPTION 1: The name in the middle is colored, the box stays the same. A textbox of NAME2 Saying "This is dialogue of person 2. This is them speaking, at this very moment." OPTION 2: The name in the center stays the same, but the folder border color is changed A textbox of NAME2 Saying "This is dialogue of person 2. This is them speaking, at this very moment."

Updates for "The Determined Ones" Halloween edition!

#visualnovel #gamedev #rpgmaker #TDOGame #screenshotsaturday #indiegame
Chapter 1's development update: Chapter 1 Coding: 95-97% complete. Outside of going back and making sure bugs are taken care of and a few smaller things, I feel its ready to go. Been trying to spend the rest of the time working on Prologue changes and bug testing too. Chapter 1's development update: I will probably start bein silent on that front till I feel comfortable sharing more again, since I will also be taking some time to work on "TRUST EXERCISE REVAMPED" for the cold case mystery game jam this year. Chapter 1's development update: Stay tuned for that! Doesn't mean I won't share screenshots of TDO still cause I still need more people to check out the game! So, I hope to have more on that front soon! Thank you for your patience, and Happy Halloween!

What would they dress as?

Tuff, our protag, is not a huge fan of the Halloween Spirit, so He'd probably just wouldn't know what to do, which results in either nothing or letting the others pick for him and go with that.

What would they dress as?

ARI doesn't care for Halloween. She'd go as herself and doesn't care for your opinion, or the opinions of others.

What would they dress as?

This character (name hidden for later, check out the prologue) would have so many choices to choose from. He'd pick Michael Myers, or other Halloween slashers or monsters to scare his friends.

Clearly the one in the group with the most spirit for the season!

What would they dress as?

Now this character (whose name I'll withhold till later, gotta play the prologue) has a favorite in-universe series he enjoys.
However, if he had to pick someone that wasn't from the series, he'd pick Gojo since he's powerful and a goofball like himself.

What would they dress as?

Frosti wouldn't really care for dressing up for Halloween. BUT, if he HAD to choose something that wasn't a generic monster, he'd pick Patrick Bateman. Maybe it'll scare everyone out of asking him to go to Halloween parties.

What would they dress as?

Cannon isn't one to really dress for the season, but if he had to choose he'd do Shaggy. Since he enjoys how funny he is in the series (and in Fortnite).

What would they dress as?

Unseen would probably dress as Waluigi, since they both share similar colors and Unseen thinks he's funny!

(and not purple guy since the group already makes enough jokes out of him for that)
