can you PLEASE get rid of that "loading. . . ." screen or give us the option to just skip it because I swear to god I almost threw my phone. it's really annoying, I couldn't really enjoy the story because it bothered me so much

You do have that option from the beginning when you start, you're allowed to skip all animated scenes which incl. all loading screens outside the main TSTT screen.

You can also skip the loading screen.

So I'm assuming you missed it, but they're automatically set to on, you can turn them off when you first start the game.

hiii, i love ur story, can i ask, what is it u do to make it so the player can make coices within the text, like when in chapter 1 you can change between smiling/sighing/grinning, also what is that called in the coding

Cycling! They're cycling variables! Now to add little marks like the rotation marks I have next to it, you can add it by yourself or code it in to automatically appear.

This is what it looks like.

<<cycle "$insertanyvariable"autoselect>>

<<option "option 1">>

<<option "option 2">>

<<option "option 3">>

<</cycle>>

They look like that

[[ the menu on mobile, the settings part where you can save it on disk- it's kinda like stuck, you can't scroll down further to save ]] <-- on mobile the save menu scroll is tied to the page scroll; like if you scrolled to the bottom of the text and then opened the save it'd be stuck on the save to disk section with no ability to scroll up unless you exited out and scrolled up on the main page (it will then be stuck on the top portion of the save menu). It's a dumb Twine thing.

OHH!!

Sorry if this is weird but I want to write IFs but the choice of games script is so confusing to me, do you use a specific program/tool to make your game? Thank you

That's completely alright! Personally I use Twine, and the Sugarcube story format!

[the-six-that-thrive-if]

Idk if this is okay to ask? But what program do you use to code? Where did you get your theme/layout? I'm just curious about how you made all this

It's completely fine! I use twine and how I got my layout is the default layout given with sugarcube! I'm a very amateur user, but if you have any questions I can ofc give photos and step by steps!
