Hello.
Many of you may not be familiar with the manga, let alone its game for the Sega Saturn console. But I have decided to make a conversion of this game for PC using the AGS engine.
Logically some things could not be done, such as the characteristic text inside the box (which I could replicate, but it is impossible for me to manage conversations and mouse clicks due to engine limitations).
Anyway, as I consider myself an unconditional fan of the manga, I've started to work on it. If I manage to finish it, I may do the same with Silent Möbius.

All of this can be done in AGS engine. If you would explain in detail how things are supposed to work we might be able to tell how it may be managed in AGS.
I meant doing it like the original, which is a visual novel.
There have been a number of topics in Tech Support forum over the years, discussing how to script custom speech style, including Visual Novel - style dialogs, in AGS.
Few of them for example:

I am not a programmer, but rather a graphic designer and writer. So much code and explanation makes me dizzy; in any case it doesn't matter because I already solved it with the default AGS properties.
Why has the thread been moved to another subforum?

This was done by a "GiP" moderator; I think the "Game in Production" thread has rules where you must already have a solid progress with your game and post at least 2 screenshots from different game scenes:
