This was made using TyranoBuilder!
An engine that has sadly been discontinued which is way updates for it a becoming a bit of a chore!
Ah, that makes sense.
Yeah TyranoBuilder is a good first step into VN's but Renpy is definitely the way to go next. It seems more intimidating, but it's got great documentation and lessons to help ease you into it. Highly suggest moving to that for future projects. :)
