<p style="font-weight:normal;">As you would probably be able to see on the Recent Activity tab, I am currently working on the transcript pages. I know plenty of people have started work on this and failed, and who knows if the same will happen to me - however, that's not what I'm messaging you for. In a few of the earlier pages, I added a "Next Scene" line at the bottom of each page, as otherwise someone would have to scroll back up to get the link. I'm not sure if I should continue to do so, or leave the rest without "Next Scene". Though it's no problem to go through each page and do so, or remove them if needed, I would like a second opinion on the matter before I continue adding them.[[User:SnowDratini|SnowDratini]] ([[User talk:SnowDratini|talk]]) 10:40, October 20, 2016 (UTC)</p> | <p style="font-weight:normal;">As you would probably be able to see on the Recent Activity tab, I am currently working on the transcript pages.

I'm free now, as the semester is about to end, so I can actually start working on it again... anyways, as you had replied to me, I thought I should let you know that I'm still alive. Also, I have no idea how to format a message or anything, so any help with this would be nice. | ||

I've at this point finished most of the transcripted pages in Act One. There are quite a few pages not transcripted, so I will get to work on them. However, there are several things I want your opinion on: | |||
How should people's quotes be formatted? Currently there are about four different ways, and I wish to make them all consistent. The name of the person speaking and the actual text are either on the same line or one line apart (no blank line in between, blank lines in between different lines in-game). The name is either bolded, or is not bolded. And the text itself is either italicized or not italicized. While I personally think a bolded name but on the same line would be best with the text italicized, I would like it to be consistent throughout, and if you think a different one would be better please let me know. | |||
How should the routing be handled? As in, certain choices in the transcripts have certain mechanical functions that are outside the transcript itself, and lead to different scenes. The main problem so far is right after Cold War - both choices put you into either Things You Can Do or a scene dedicated to Lilly(Hanako)/Shizune dependant on which side you took. After any of those three scenes, you go to either Exercise or Invisible Hat dependant on how you answered Nurse in Waylay. All of this is really hard to signify properly in the transcript. The main pages this affects are: Cold War, Paint By Numbers, Event Horizon, and Things You Can Do. | |||
Before I started working on this, probably done a long time ago, someone had put a transcripted version of Hanako's route onto the wiki. It had some design choices in it already (mainly of the quoting which I think looks best), but most importantly it brought to my attention that there's a difference between setup of Act 1 and all the other acts. Specifically, all of the transcript pages on Act 1 are formatted as [Name]/Transcript, whereas the Act 2 and beyond pages are just [Name]. I think having the transcript and the just name pages seperate is better, personally, but either way a decision and then migration of either one should be done (due to consistency). I don't know how to do that moving, so if you can find time to either tell me how and which ones to move, or to move it yourself, that would be awesome too. | |||
As I had figured things out as I edited, some of the earlier pages I worked on are now inconsistent to how I want them to be. After you answer me about this, I'll go back and do another (hopefully final) consistency sweep through them, and then Act 1 up to Paint by Numbers (which is where the last transcript anywhere online ends) will be done. After that, I will work on transcripting more of the game into the wiki. | |||
If I disappear for a while ago, it's probably due to school/work, but as the last thing beyond transcription work (which takes a while anyways) is almost done, don't worry about me having left even if I don't update it for a while again. I probably am busy either way, but working on the transcription to make a large update rather than many small ones (easier on me, unless you *specifically* want me to do the smaller scene by scene updates, in which case I will. The benefit of this would be if I actually do disappear or stop working on it, there would be less work that I had done but didn't put onto the wiki, thereby being less work lost and more work actually published.) | |||
Hopefully that should be it, but if there's anything else I'll let you know. Sorry for the essay, ha. | |||

I'll have the wiki chat open on my computer from now on, unless you think there's a better way for faster communication, or if it's not needed (though I think it'd be nice at any rate). | |||
I think the Out Cold transcript looks nice, though I think "Hisao - Monologue" can be shortened to "Narration" or left blank entirely, as per the game. Should we continue to link characters as they first appear/talk, or leave that to be in the characters section alone? | |||
Don't worry about it being tedious or hard to do - that's really not a big problem on it's own. Notepad makes a lot of the formatting easy to handle in bulk, with some clever replacements, and a lot of the times I need to be source editing anyways. | |||
<span style="font-weight:normal;">Pretty much anything on Hanako's route after act 1 I have not touched at all. </span> | |||
<span style="font-weight:normal;">For different choices, I think what I've done with tabber on Enter Stage Left is honestly fine for that. I'm not sure having two different pages for basically the exact same scene is needed, but if you think that'd be better I'll listen. My main issue with it is organizational - on the Transcripts page, how would we list them?</span> | |||
<span style="font-weight:normal;">Anyways, I think having a communication by IRC or some channel like that would be better than typing many paragraph/ideas at once, so again I'll be hanging out on the wiki chat, and if you have a better format (discord, skype, steam, whatever you want), I think that'd be good too.</span> | |||
