Rakugo Project Devlog #26: Advanced Text finally ported to Godot 4.1

Hi everyone, welcome to 5th devlog in year 2024. It is the 26th devlog of Rakugo Project. I’m happy to announce I finally ported Advanced Text addon to Godot 4.1. Docs for this version are also ready.

I also have a great request that you consider the monetary support of the project trough Pateron or Itch.io, because I have recently had a big financial problems.

What is Advanced Text
