ARCHEIA_NESSIAH'S PROFILE

Music is not there for the character to hear, but for the player to know the character's mental and emotional state. But unlike with the pain and the physical effort of game characters, experiencing their internal thoughts and feelings by the player is often the intended result. That's the immersion.

What makes a good dialogue?

It always bugged me, I try to avoid it but somehow I can't, I'm trying to be careful but I can't 'see' what I'm 'fighting'. So can someone clarify this to me? I don't get bothered by dialogue that much so I don't know too many things about it.

I know avoid |33t language and cellphone short cuts like that :P

I got some notes, it seems like I was able to make my dialogues natural there's just some anime-only responses, haha

Verisimilitude
- it means it should sound real, like real people are saying the lines and not like someone is writing them. But in special instances you can get away with being a little more poetic. If it's a special scene it can make the dialogue better even if it's only 90% believable instead of 100%

And you should always try to minimize exposition as much as possible, like if you have to explain a lot of stuff to the audience through two characters talking, try to disguise the conversation as something else as much as you can, like it is a regular conversation, but the information the audience needs to know is in there somewhere.

A great example will be FF8, it has a good example of people speaking naturally in a game in a modern context.

Note
Due to extreme change in my schedule (such as overwhelming chores and school all of a sudden) this game might not be as long as the other entries and would probably disappoint you. The Pumpkin Boss wasn't made in time because of Diwali and stuff ;-;


Iscribble (Very very NSFW)

Hi everyone! Has anyone tried out Iscribble? It's like paint chat but a lot easier haha, and you can make chatrooms and then friends can doodle there as well as talk :) I think it's a nice alternative than OC it's also pretty easy to use :)

Here's an example :P

Omg, I'm crazy D:

Ugh oh well I guess I'm just bored and just want to slap in some artworks here.
