Hahahahahaha..... Poor Stranger. Ivy was taken away and he was hoped in vain he'd have a sex with beautiful girl this time for real.

Excellent entry my dear friend. Thank you for this gifts and nice wishes.

Excellent entry my dear friend. Thank you for this gifts and nice wishes.

I'm glad you liked the story.  I didn't realize how far my sex scenes where in the story until I started posting. The screenshotting is done I just gotta put the words to them.  So what do you guys think of the person I choose for Ivy? I picked her since it's the Avatar she chose. Hopefully it's a perfect match even though it's not the right hair color.  

Man, Stranger gets all the Ladies!  Also, Ivy's looking a bit different!  She looks more lady of space and timey... I like it!  

Great job Jayomms. Love it. As for Ivy, I like her. You should keep her.

Let's be honest, the very first image is an example of how NOT to embed text into an image : the dialogues are way too long, overloading the image ; and worse they actually do overlap essential parts of it, such as one of the protagonists ! You should really watch out the amount of text per image.  But if we go beyond that, we discover a quite touching story, with original emoticons use, funny dialogues, nice twists, and quite vibrant and colored screens. So, for my part, I want to know what will happen to Stranger and your determined Maylin, and if they will recover Ivy ! Nice entry !

I think you make it sound worse then it is. For the most part the composition is fine, there are just a couple of them that are overloaded. 

I really like the story though

I agree... I'm just have trouble getting the word bubbles to work. I could part them more on new pages or just put them off screen but having them off screen I find that I lose interest reading. That's why I like the image and reading fusion method or style of storytelling.

Yeah it's not too bad as long as I don't over do it like with images that are not key or too important but still needs a tone down on it a bit and that's not what I truly wanted but I was pressed for time so ended making it a rush job.

I know right He has a good Heart though he came from Prince's father after all.  Ivy's character was the one I had trouble getting to work right. The uploader gave her the wrong body type, Her textures where for CBBE and he or she put UNP body and said to use unp for custom body. So I'm over here wasting a whole bunch of time using the wrong body type and if I changed the texture it gets all messed up because it requires a lot more involved solution to get it to work that I didn't have time for. Then Eva started to worry about me because I didn't respond that day because I was too busy fighting with it when all this time it was simple...  just give Ivy's character CBBE it will be fine.

I'm glad you liked her. That's my question. Is that do all three of you like her? I'm waiting for Ivy's response as well. My apologies for making you worry I was just making sure you guys would enjoy my adding of Ivy in my story. Had to get it right at least for rushing it

> We certainly do. My Ivy watched the story with us, but she will not reply to this post for she has decided to not to post comments anymore outside her blog entry. Two reasons: it confused some of the readers for she used my Prince's avatar and she used it too often that some of the readers didn't like and they stopped following my Prince. Anyway, Ciri as Ivy is excellent idea.

Ciri as Ivy in Skyrim is very good idea. I like it. You should keep her.

It's a choice as valid as any other, as it gives you an intermediate choice between subtitles and comics. An idea to force you to work on compact text would be to draw drafts of the bubbles, only write your text inside of it, and then erase the bubble. But you're right, it takes time to reduce dialogues that way ; and youd id well considering you were lacking of it.

I remember similar problems with Stranger. At least, you'll have earned experience for your next works.

Totally agree about stories with separate text, not really a big fan unless they have something above and beyond to grab my attention. That said I do also agree with Tirloque that this method can get a bit cluttered at times.

Not sure what you're using to add text but there are a plethora of tutorials for text bubbles if you google "Speech bubbles in GIMP" or photoshop or whatever. It's really pretty simple, I just draw a white oval and tail and then type on top of it and then there are people who go above and beyond with cool transparent speech bubbles that look amazing. It's all a matter of how much effort you want to put in (for me the answer is simple: minimum).

If you ever need a hand with stuff like that let me know. I love fixing crap like that ?

Anyway nice entry, your game looks great! (particularly the skin, really nice!)

I'm using photoscape and I told my brother about it and he said to use 3D paint for the bubbles. I haven't tried it yet though. He has an account on LL too but hasn't been on it for a long long time and doesn't have his own room to even view it though plus have gave up playing Skyrim a while back when Prince's dad was still around. 

I'll let you know if I do. When I try to make followers if I ever have the time to. My hard drives are a mess I'm gonna have to organize soon and that's gonna be a real pain. 

Thanks I was using snapdragon but it's not good for game play or trying to run through Skyrim to unlock places every time I have to start new game plus I can't get SE to work so I'm stuck with Oldrim til I find a way and I don't have Stranger for SE anyways so I can't do a story of him in SE. Loot just got an update and now my oldrim in running as smooth as SE. I don't know what he did but my game is great now and I have a program to keep the ram clean. I was able to run the game two days straight with now crash unless there's more than 50 npcs then game crashes.

Not familiar with photoscape but text bubbles are such a basic use of photo editing software that I'm sure it should work fine. 

Converting followers to SE is pretty easy, just need nifoptimizer and to do the head nif correctly (by checking the face parts box).
