Work Post
1:38am - It's time to start working on the dialogue system.
I've been thinking about this in my off times for the last few days and I've realized I'm not sure how I want to do it.
To make a Dialogue System that's just that, unfettered by anything else, isn't a problem. But to make it in the game, I'm not sure where to put everything. Like the text of the dialogues, how do I store them? How do I connect them to in-game entities? These are the things I've got to figure out.
Actually, before I get down to reinventing the wheel, let me see if I can find some wheel blueprints online I can study from...
2:52am - I found a couple of good ideas for doing it, though neither is perfect for my project, I should be able to build on one.
3:03am - I need to take a break now. I'm feeling a bit off. Hopefully I'll continue with this soon.
4:45am - Okay I'm looking at the code for the example I was looking at before. It's embedded in a whole unfinished application, so I've got to figure that out too.
5:03am - I think I've reached my limit for tonight. I can't focus anymore and while I sort of understand what's going on, I can't form things in my head just now. Too tired. Gonna call it for now.
