A Plumber's Tale

Hello!

I am new to REN'PY, and have been working on a kinetic VN called 'A Plumber's Tale'. I have now finished ACT 1, and would like to share my current progress. This will be a superhero VN covering a long story arc, and multiple characters' perspectives.

Any feedback/constructive criticism/ideas are more than welcome! Just please keep in mind a few things:

I am pretty new to Ren'Py, also new to creating anything like this ever. Please let me know if I'm making any silly mistakes, or if there is something I can optimize better (Feel free to decompile and rummage around!).

This will be a pretty long story, a lot of things aren't explained yet or might not make a lot of sense. The story is quite a while away from being completed.

Thanks for your time, please let me know if there are any issues with downloading!

*Still not %100 on fonts, but a lot of progress has been made!

*Comma Trimming! Sometimes, I use, too many, commas, and, I'm sure it's, annoying! (I get 0 feedback, so it's often hard for me to see my own grammatical mistakes)

*Act 1 is now complete! I could go back and update/change things forever, but I should take a mental break before starting on ACT 2. If you guys see anything that I goofed up on and/or should change, let me know and I can update it further.

*I will gradually tweak prologue scenes here or there, but this will be gradual. I don't wan't to be stuck in the limbo of endlessly fixing minor issues!

*I now have a normal and CMP version to choose from (The CMP is the compressed version). I couldn't compress some of the dark scenes though, they looked way too pixelated! IF somebody better at compression wants to do a better version, I would be more than happy to upload it in place of mine.
