Included in the Renpy 8.1, is word balloons/bubbles, which I think would be a nice and unique way to convey things. However, as I was going through the code (and there is some rewrites of it that will come out in a later patch), I noticed that even if Eric says “Go to practice” at the end of the dorm scene during the day…the Coffeestop scene still plays. There was a missing flag and that has been fixed. Now when you say “Got to go to practice” It goes to the first swim practice scene.
