BOB_ESC'S PROFILE

Cripes I feel like I just jumped into a battle with MC Escher. The barrels and crates are at wacky angles to the floor.

Hey screw you >:(
But yes, I will fix it.

Hoo boy. It is very possible to make these things boring in-game (Fire Emblem gets close) because nobody wants to take a break from monster whacking to do random talky crap. However, if you were writing a visual novel, depth is good. Something that will make characters memorable are mannerisms, speech patterns, etc. (saying "I say," use of elipsis a bunch, comical speech impediments). If you want unique recruit dialogues, take a look at a text dump of a Fire Emblem game. It has a wide range of situational team-ups (like rescuing a sister, helping out with a thug attack), random team-ups (mercenaries, people in passing), and having people you already know join your team.

Alright, time to download this sucker!
EDIT: Oh, the presence of a download tab doesn't mean there is a download.
Oops.
But I will download it.

so all you really need are a couple edge fixups in charasets.
