UI Visual Novel Game Project - Discord

Some more work in progress pictures for my Visual Novel Project.
The characters will mostly be communicating online via Discord, or in this case my fake Discord. Honkai: Star Rail and it's Message system has also been used as inspiration.
I've done some experimenting and these are styles I'm happy with.

Version 1: Mostly square with thick outlines. Shadow used on the bottom and right to distinguish interactive elements.
Version 2: Sticks more closely to Discord's look with limited outlines and buttons highlighting only when moused over or clicked. Also tried experimenting with a limited colour palette of four colours.
Version 3: Is similar to version 2 but the buttons are a bit more detailed when highlighted. The reply "box" also had a redesign.
