I think I've most of the css figured out! Here's what it'll look like in fullscreen on itch.io! It also works embedded so that's one worry out of the way, dimensions wise. If I have a lil bit of time after everything, I think I wanna see about changing the scrollbar to something that fits the theme more. When I looked it up there was a lot of javascript and I'd need a bit of time to parse through that aha!
I couldn't find a way to safely background sprites on top of the background so I guess I'll just add em all manually with the background png. I was thinking either shoulders up or waist up- but after drawing shoulders up anything else would be a bit too small and odd looking, I feel.
I figured out the best sizes for the backgrounds and the inline pictures- now it's time to go back into my passages and make note of how many locations need bgs and how many different emoting sprites I need to make. I like to keep things in batches, because going back to drawing after I feel I 'finished' all drawings is so strange feeling ://
