Plug in text
I finally did the thing where after writing a couple hundred lines of code where no matter what you do it just keeps throwing errors. I missed a "!" before a variable that was being tested. WOMP WOMP
Yesterday I got the system to let me upload a txt file for dialog and speaker, rather than having it hard coded. Once I get it just right I can start writing out the script for the game properly.
The script is the 2nd most important part of the game. If this were an action game it would be like 5th. The player is going to be clicking/tapping and reading dialog 99% of the time.
One thing I am thinking of is audio dialog for the characters. For this game it will be text only, possibly with some laughter/scream/cry/gasp sounds that can be used in any language. As much as I would love to have the whole thing read by voice actors that is beyond any sort of budget I have, and no I wouldn't want to use AI voices for this.
