Dialogue is going to be a major portion of A Forest Tail ( ~30% depending on how you play ). We want to get your opinion on what location setup feels most comfortable for you! Made 5 little options here based on other games and just what we think look "normal." Really would love your thoughts on what looks best and even what just doesn't look good. If you have any games that do dialogue and portraits really well, bring it up! Your decisions will help us craft a game you'll be exited to play!!
There's 5 choices, each numbered in the top right of the screen. You may have to scroll / swipe through, but my personal favorite is #4.
Know this: The dialogue box itself is very basic and just being used as a placeholder. It will later be altered to match the pause menu in the current test build you can download. If you have some ideas on that as well, bring them!! Currently we're thinking about changing the UI based on the season and area. Characters in low lighting during the dark and night areas, leaves on the UI for autumn, snow and ice on the UI frame during winter. Comfy things, ya know?
Edit:
Added 4.1 to the list of images above after some great suggestions. Thanks for the help!!
