Text effects are font customization that allow you to put more emphasis on certain parts of the dialogue in your story.
Text effects can be applied anywhere your story has text:
- Narrator boxes
- Speech bubbles
- Thought bubbles
- Reader messages
- Choice Buttons*
We also have 3 types of effects that can be applied:
- Formatting
- Colors*
- Animations
*NOTE: Color effects cannot be used with choices as we want to maintain readability for all speech bubble styles.
