No, you're right. That's exactly what I told another person who lived through the 80s. I explained to him that what he described was typical for people who lived in the USA at that time, but in Europe, things were different - not to mention that we have a fictional country as the story setting. There is nothing there that screams "it's not 1985". Point me to anything that does if you saw it.
Of course, that's true. But if you want to know what the difference was, there's a simple formula: the eighties in the US are the nineties in the countries of the former socialist camp. And they took not 10, but 5 years. Then came the American 90s, which in another 5 years caught up with the real flow of time.Your forgetting the 80s were different in different locations as well...europe is in a time warp compared to the US, and has a totally different sense of style as well...i'm sure the same could be said for Ukraine and Russia
No I have a selected version where I included the ones I chose to include and set the italic bold etc formats myself...i'll check now and if not grab them from your links. It may be ren'py itself though.
Nope. Again - different countries, different 80s. I lived in a socialist country - former Yugoslavia - and it has the best from both blocks. So...
That look right to you?
So you mean you don't know what the 80s are, but you're pretty sure you're right. Well, that's ironclad logic, I'm pretty sure that in your 80s people wore exactly these clothes, had exactly this make-up and led exactly this life. Okay. I don't see any point in continuing.Point me to anything that does if you saw it.
Can I go back to 1985 now before the internet?So you mean you don't know what the 80s are, but you're pretty sure you're right.

Aw, no, I will. One more time.
Want a funny experiment? Take a screenshot, show it to anyone, and ask them to determine the time when the events occur. Good luck!
But the reality is a little different. And one joke about VHS, which at that time was at the peak of its form, in fact, and which still had another more or less 15 years to live a happy life, not Betamax, not LaserDisc, which at the time of 1985 had not yet lost the format war and were relevant, does not change anything. Perhaps, if such artifacts of the era were remembered at least more often in dialogues, it would somehow put player in the right mood, i think.
But you then must remember that everything was much better there than in the ussr itself, proximity to the civilized world did its job.
At least now everything looks right.That look right to you?

Aside from being way too big
Seems your were right, I was using the gothic font not the standard fonts.
Are you insinuating its still a bad vibe on the title screen?
No. I mean I know that my 80s didn't differentiate from most countries in the Europe of that time. Yeah, among other things, they wore those clothes as well as other clothes, they had that hairstyle and there were those with uglier hairstyles. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the 1980s weren't that different from today. When I said you point out what isn't typical for the 1980s, I meant things like laptops everywhere, mobile phones, internet, big advertisement screens everywhere... In one word - plotholes - and not if the socks were a centimetre shorter or longer than today.
No! I was a little amused by your words, really. This is such a joke for those who are in the subject. English is really more compact, and when translating it is a common problem that there is not enough space as a result. It is one thing to just text, where you just add pages and that's it, and another thing, for example, rom hacking or translating comics, where space is strictly limited. It was fun to hear it from the other side of the translation
Honestly, I had trouble adding that in myself and its the reason the english shifts over if you hold your finger or hover over it with the mouse on PC...but I felt it was worthwhile to do.No!

But this is what i'm saying: it just makes more sense to just move the time in which the events take place, it won't change anything in the game, except literally one number at the start. Unless the time in which the events take place has some powerful plot twist tied to it later on, it won't affect anything in any way.
Of that...only ivo can say, this is his story, I kind of jumped into the mix offering a hand with the interface and this just ended up happening. I don't know or have privy to the entire story any more than one update ahead myself--and I never ask him to change it beyond suggestion...and I won't ask him to change this either, its his choice.
Yes, it's important for the story that it's not set in modern times where everyone is connected with everyone else across the globe.
