Working on the coolest dialog system!

'Round The Mind: Experimental Versions
A downloadable test environment

Dialog Boxes, also called textboxes, are often overlooked in games. They really shouldn't be.

I mean, if your textbox looks incredibly boring and you see it all the time in your game don't complain about why your players find the dialog boring!

Granted, this is an overexaggeration, but spicing up re-ocurring features/mechanics is a part of user experience, and doing small touches here and there can make a difference.

So, for this dialog box, I'm asking you for feedback on the following features:

  • The "morphing" look of the textbox
  • The style of writing
  • Locking the player in place
  • the "spokesperson" (object to which the triangle points) targetting
  • Cancelling and skipping text through the action /subaction button or running away from the conversation like a coward

Thanks in advance! Download is available at the bottom of this page!

You can dump your feedback in the discussion forum for this game or here: https://discord.com/invite/aMA6PP9

PD: the typos are not intentional, they will not be present in the final release, also the dialog is broken in spanish and german
