Text narration
I noticed people were using step names as a way to tell stories. That isn't really optimal and not how they were intended to be used. So I made this new feature - set a text on a step, and it will show when you go to it:

I expect to extend on this in the future, so it's mostly a placeholder for now, but at least it's much better than using step names.
This will be released with the December build.
All the best.

Honestly, the ability to make speech bubbles would be my dream feature. I'm too lazy to make videos lol.
Ha, I literally just came here to ask about this exact thing
I'm seriously thinking about using text in a future interaction. Looking closely at how it seems to be implemented in the preview here, I really wish that: a) text boxes were not tied to steps, and were instead timeline events. b) text boxes could be assigned to a character, so that they'll appear on screen near that character if possible. c) text style could be controlled (could be as simple as exposing CSS, though I don't know if there's a potential exploit there).
This was a big thing to me back in Yiffalicious 1; having a little story/dialogue in the step names was a good indicator that the creator had an eye for detail and thoroughness, plus it could set the scene and give reasons for the character's expressions. Glad to see it get a formal addition. No more watching with steps visible!
Oh this is a fantastic edition. Sometimes it's pretty difficult to tell a story with visuals alone sometimes, I like this!
Thats such a nice addition! I love scenes that are telling a small story or just for context in what relation characters are. It just makes everything more interesting.
Cool, now an option to fade in/out to black between scenes would be appropriate.
