Cool stuff.\r\rOne suggestion I'd offer is to give a little more visual feedback on the options you're selecting in conversations, it was a little hard to tell if what I'd chosen had been selected or not. Otherwise it was a unique experience and I enjoyed it.\r\rCongrats on your first game!"},{"author_name":"zakchaos","author_uid":"13273","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:00pm","epoch":1377633300,"text":"Interesting effort, I'd suggest changing the text to another color, ad it blended with the background and was a bit hard to read."},{"author_name":"VoxPlacitum","author_uid":"25802","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:46pm","epoch":1377636060,"text":"Ah yes, something I should have probably mentioned in the description: I almost didn't finish in time, so the visuals are pretty rough(should have been stand-ins.
