Claiming that Bella's frown is constant is proof of not playing her path.
Some of it. That frown kept me away. I did notice she would soften her expression at times. But then she would go back to it, so yeah... if it is still "on" for let's say "half of the time", it is still a turn-off for me. But hey, I am not asking anybody to adjust their preferences. I am just curious, if for yall the frown is part of the appeal

You see if you had said that from the start instead of going for a hyperbole, you wouldn't have gotten snide remarks.

But you really have to play her path to properly judge how attractive she is, right now you are focusing on one detail. I did not find the frown off-putting, but when you see a different expression on her face the gap makes it more striking. It's not the case with Bella but I have experienced getting past an initial dislike for a character and appreciating them to the point that when I reread the story the parts that I initially disliked became part of the charm. I think that happens to Bella's fans. However they feel about the frown initially, it becomes a part of a whole that is very charming indeed.

And the thing is that Bella has a lot to frown about. She is not grumpy for the sake of being grumpy. The recent chapters of her life have not been happy ones. When you get that, you just want to hug her so tight that the frown goes away. Most likely it would just turn into an expression of utter bafflement, but that too would be adorable in its own way.

So try to get past that dislike and play her path properly. You might fall in love with her.

Just want to make sure i got the video right. Download Season 1 + 2
Download Season 3 Interlude + Ep 10.
No need for the patch?
Patches are just for new updates/bug fixes. Download 1+2, then download 3 separately. When Episode 11 comes out, you can download the patch so you don't have to redownload all of Season 3.

Oh I didn't realize the download links were all still for the original release of Episode 10 only. That's a little odd. In that case yeah, he might as well get the patch now.
the patch mostly fixes just minor bugs but alone for the sake of easier brawler fights its worth it.

There's a little wiggle room for plausible deniability if someone saw Bella calling MC (it's a different Bella, "Bella" is a nickname, etc), but come on man. Show more discretion. I'd have actually liked it if DPC incorporated the pet names here, make it more personal as well as hides the caller's true identity. But it probably wouldn't work with all names, especially if it's a long word.
While it's technically possible to render arbitrary text at an angle in real time (and crop it to the borders of the phone screen), I would be very impressed if it were an option in RenPy, and it would be a pain to try to code it to work at all, let alone getting it to look good.

Rendering text into an image is a very different thing from displaying it in a text box.

What if he got an extra year to try and make it work? That'd be worth it, wouldn't you agree? :HideThePain:
