🛠️ Development
Since I hadn't seen anyone fully overhaul the subtitle system before, I wanted to try to do it.
This mod took me about a week to develop. Having no prior experience with coding,
I used
,
to handle all of the actual coding based on my vision and feedback.
I spent a lot of time experimenting and testing to understand how to make it all work together. Because I tried to do something new with the subtitle system, there might still be some minor quirks in the logic not a 100% sure. However, I hope this works and brings a brand new experience to the game.
