(Former Title) "What's a good way to show nighttime to daytime transitions?"
So my game is split up into four individual game "days", and I was trying to think of a way to show that the day is ending/ the protagonist is going to sleep and the day is starting up/ the protagonist wakes up.
Right now I have simple 'scene black with fade' like text (code below) but the next transition is so fast that I feel as though it's not effective.
Code: Select all
label nighthyun:
pov "Night."
ch "Night, [povname!t]."
scene black with fade
"You settle into your bed sheets."
pov "Not too bad for my first day..."
"Your mind goes back to your early conversation with Chanyeol."
ch "{i}I think that he needs to open up more, considering what happened with--{/i}"
"...Hm."
"Considering what happened with... what, exactly?"
"What was it that he was going to say about Baekhyun?"
"Mind occupied by the mystery, you drift off to sleep."
jump baek_day2
And then the follow-up:
Code: Select all
label baek_day2:
$ baekpath = "yes"
## meet up with D.O. on this day!
stop music
play music "Lucky.mp3"
scene bedroom with fade
"It's morning, and your mind buzzes with thoughts of Baekhyun."
Any ideas?

Add a title card/sound effect to show the day is over or the next one started? Like "Day 2" popping up.

.....wow, I didn't think of that, haha.
Added some page transitions that say "Day 2" in funky script. //huzzah
Thank you very much!
