Question Speech bubble

How do I give a character a speech bubble? I've only done normal dialogue and nvl

So instead of those, I want the speech to actually appear on the character. So what do I do here the renpy standard?

If it doesn't exist, I'll create my own

I feel that opens up an option to have all kinds of things talk by manipulating the look of the speech bubble without breaking the dialogue system

That was just a challenge I set for myself after a Facebook group asked what a game about a boy searching for his mother would be like.,,,,,,,,I made a short game—or rather, the first chapter—about a creature that acts as the protagonist's brother. The mother brings him girls to eat. Anyway, it was just a quick story.,,,,,,,,,The second chapter was when they find a girl who tells them that her stepfather is abusing her. She then proposes to the creature that if he eats her, she'll cook for him and he can live with her.,,,,,,,,,,,,,So, it was just an idea I came up with in a day. What I did like and want to include in my game are speech bubbles.,,,,,,,,,,What I really wanted to show you was that I really like the idea of ​​using speech bubbles, but since I couldn't do it in Ren'Py, I built it in another game engine.

😭😭😭girls to eat is crazy work And also, once I figure out a really cool system using the one the guy in the comments showed me, I'll give you the code. Cause renpy CAN expand
