I'm a student and I'm creating a visual novel in unity for our thesis. Mostly the code is from them but I studied it and make some revisions to make it mine.
My problem is that everything is working in unity editor, the dialogues are changing and I can choose a decision by clicking a button, but when I try to build it there's nothing except the background.
This is what it looks like in Unity Editor.
After the build and I run it in windows, The start() function is working, but when I start to press any key, it won't update as you can see below:
This what it looks like after I built and run the game.
This is the code in my start() and update() function:
PS: The Input.TouchCount there is to make the game runnable in android too but I want the game run in windows first. Thank you for you help!

PS: DialogueManager.cs is to manage the dialogue, the character images, the characters' name, and showing them in the scene. While the DialogueParser.cs is parsing the line (for example: "MC|"SOMEONE…! HELP! HELP ME!!!"|0|0|R"). The first part is the name, the second is the dialogue, the two numbers are character image and background respectively, and the fifth and last part is the position of a character image. These five parts are separated by "|". In other words, the DialogueParser.cs work is to separate them and give them to DialogueManager.cs.
