THESE TUTORIALS ARE AMAZING, you've helped me so much, thank you. I didn't know how much time was invested into cresting these stories, now I appreciate them way more.

[@aliceandthewonderland8898]

This is how much I love you Joseph I was playing Episode and I got the notification

[@heygirlhey1760]

Can you please make a video on how your family's features are changed based on your character's skin tone , hair colour etc.

[@lilywilliams1616]

All you do i place them in a different zone and copy the editing code line where you change the characters then copy it but change it to your familys name for example: @YOU stands screen center @MUM stands screen center in zone 3 @YOU changes hair color to BLUE @MUM changes hair color to BLUE

[@kookiemrie]

Lily Williams it doesn’t work. does it work with the male?

[@moonslight8360]

Put family in different zone then when you make choice for the character change for the family member too

[@jemu776helps2]

Here's a hack for creating duplicate characters: forums.episodeinteractive.com/t/hack-for-creating-duplicate-characters/22091 Can be applied to family members, twins, look alikes, etc. You can go here for CC templates: forums.episodeinteractive.com/t/multiple-character-customization-templates-ink-limelight/5346 If you read the thread on CC templates, you'll see the option To add family members, twins, or duplicate characters to the template: CLICK HERE Click the link and you'll see how to do it ^^ It honestly saves so much time rather than having to change every feature : )

[@Iainttrynadoxxmyself]

I just made the character adopted.

Honestly, your videos are a lifesaver. I was so lost when I first started writing my story and now I’m close to being done with the first chapter thanks to you. Your tutorials are so easy to understand and so SO helpful. Thank you for doing these. ❤️

[@tilly8367]

How do you do a choice that carries on through multiple episodes?

[@bettyschwarz5018]

You put something like: gain chose_awkward if the choice was something like be awkward, then you put if (chose_awkward){ NARRATOR (JORDAN) Uh, hey... } I hope that helped

Could you do a tutorial on choosing love interests? So the same storyline with different characters and they get to choose who it is?

[@saltie9306]

Example: label Love_Interest Character1 (Who should I choose?) choice “Love Interest1”{ Character1 (add animation) I choose (LoveInterest 1) @LoveInterest1 is (add animation) } “Love Interest2”{ Character1 (add animation) I choose (LoveInterest 2) @LoveInterest2 is (add animation) } Then if you want to remember that choice throughout the story You would do, at the beginning of every story; If (Love_Interest1 is “Love Interest1”) { (Do whatever; Choice, dialogue, etc.) } elif (Love_Interest2 is “Love Interest2”) { (Do whatever; Choice, dialogue, etc.) } I hope this helped. I’m not sure if it works for a Love interest.

I would like to encourage you to try some of the following steps to resolve this issue. Try clearing your web browsers cache, history and browsing data. Turn off or disable your browser extensions. Try using a different web browser. The Writer Portal works best on Google Chrome. Try to sign out completely, fully close your browser, reopen it, and sign back in. Try using a different laptop or desktop computer. Try restarting your router. Thanks for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions. Kellie Hope this helped as it worked for me :)

Hey, Joseph! Just curious, will you continue to make episode tutorials for the new update? If not, does this mean your previous tutorials on zooms and fades will work with the Limelight update? Sorry for the questions but I am more new to creating episodes and I would like to know everything there is to know before I start creating. Thanks :)

[@carrottwinklestar6996]

Can someone help me?What if you made a choice, and affect the story later, how could you do that?

[@deenoizreal2931]

Hi Joseph. I was wondering if maybe you could make a video on trying to make an episode story on the episode app on mobile? I know from experience, that it's way easier than computer (but your great at doing it on computer anyways) but also there is WAY WAY WAY less stuff you can do. For example; when creating a character, picking the outfit is different because there is only full outfits, you can't do it the same way as you do it on episode interactive. Also, there is far less animations. I would be really happy if you would try it out!

[@makairamichi6371]

so useful

[@pixiebubbles2628]

I've seen this in other stories, where the player customizes their avatar and the "family" are also customized to look similar to the avatar. How do you write that?

[@kasiok5690]

In my story, the reader has the choice to go to a party or stay home. If you chose to go to the party, you’ll get drunk and someone ends up stealing your purse. If you stay home, someone breaks into your house and steals money and you go chase them into the party. So either way, you end up getting robbed and go to the party,
