I've finished coding the romance ending screen. No spoilers! even the text is temporary/not finished. But I'm wondering about the font I used, is it readable enough? I can read it without problems and I like the style, but...

if it stays that size it is fine, but if it will be say half that size I could see some people having trouble reading it. I think it is lovely

Well since the game will be likely out also on Android I'm probably going to look for a more readable font :oops:

in that case I would consider a serif typeface as they are easier to read at any size

well I found a better font but now ran into a Ren'Py bug lol the character at the beginning of each line is truncated as you can see. Maybe I need to just use a normal font :lol:

By the way the bug was fixed, was a Ren'Py bug, wasn't a problem of the font. For now the coder told me a workaround to it which seems to work fine. So I used the font above :)
Also, I've just asked thesleepykitten if she can finish writing the last part of the yuri version, since previous writer couldn't finish it :oops:
