Breaking the loop!/Shattered Time: Rewind/Part 9

We tried to use EMR phone, but we couldn't get it to work properly. Considering phone calls and text messages were going to be a big thing in October Horizon and the cancelled remake mod that will remain nameless, we had to figure out something. So we opted to do what we did in the original version of the mod that will remain nameless and just do it in bold text to signify text messages. As I told Ninja, no need to make life harder on ourselves. That's why I say that night Nurse will probably be one of the last mods where we have a ton of flashy coding tricks outside of the split screen for phone calls. Thankfully we figured out how to get that to work since our former coder didn't tell us anything. Of course, he also took all our progress on STR and Forlorn Heart with him when he left and didn't bother leaving us with anything. Hence why both of those mods were finally released this year after he set us back by about a year. We had to rebuild everything from scratch and pick up whatever pieces we could so the mods wouldn't stay dead. Combined with how before he left, that guy basically said he was tried of my boring stories and how I was holding him back as a terrible writer, I lost motivation even more than I already had. He even had the nerve to go around saying "Silver Tempest" (when it was actually Forlorn Heart) was cancelled and spoiled the plot for everyone. All while sounding like he found it to be stupid and boring. Silver Tempest being another mod featuring Akane. He made it clear that he cared so little for our mods that he didn't even pay attention to their names. Had he hijacked the PWA from me successfully, we wouldn't have stories with this kind of emotional depth. Instead, we would've had edgy stories with horror and gore that happen for no rhyme or reason, devoid of any meaning. He also seemed bothered by how most of the PWA mods do have some bit of tragic love stories woven into them. But then again, I am a master of despair. I know how to write love stories and then rip them away.

@@ardrethshadow9338 jeez, it sucks that you had to deal with that. It's good that now you can atleast get the work done without any interference. Also yeah, I understand the point with the fancy coding, stuff like that is just a neat extra thing, but what matters most is making the story good (which TT Is managing quite well Imo)
