#dialogic — Public Fediverse posts

Playing with Layout/UI for Dialogic. There's a LOT that can be done, but I think I'll leave it as is, and work on the Logics.

Hmmm... struggling to seamlessly pass variables in and out of Dialogic timelines.
I need my conversations to know about certain data, but don't really want to be passing loads of variables in and out, if I can avoid it.
Has anyone got experience of this kind of stuff?

OK, I've got Dialogic working.
Now I understand a bit more about what it is doing, I think I can make it do what I want.
Not sure if I'm doing it right, tho!
(e.g. shutting off Player Movement during conversation)
Lots of details to work through, and will probably throw lots of stuff at Signals!

Really struggling to get to grips with "How To Start" - both building Conversations, and making it appear in my game.
Very little "I Know Nothing" help available.
e.g. it starts with "To create a Timeline..." - Do I need a Timeline? What does it do? I was hoping to build a Conversation.
"Creating a Character..." - I already have some NPCs in my game. How do I tell them to say things?

Lost and muddled

#dialogic has always been an opinionated plugin, so I don't feel wrong just applying what I think is 'enough' to a PR, but it definitely 'pollutes' a bunch of the code base to make the RPC calls, late joining, and especially 'shared' choices work.

What can be segregated into a Dialogic Extension has been, but I gotta talk to Jowan about if there is a way to expose swapping 'subsystems' in to place.

Mwhahahah! My conversion of the #godotengine #dialogic plugin to support Multiplayer is working!!!!

Democracy mode and timed choices also working, which I know people have wanted for year working too!

Now I just gotta figure out if I can package it up in a that makes any sense into main, or if it has to sort of live as a side branch...

While the #enshittification path depends on centralization and hoarding to create an all-knowing oracle, the #dialogic path depends on diffusion, openness, and human-centred design to create a powerful, expressive lever for human agency.

Let's call this the #dialogic path, where rigid complex GUIs give way to fluid language-based interfaces.

@YannKervran worked on the lobby scene and integrating character sprites with pose switching.

It's getting playable :)! I've defined a Game with some #Graph Nodes and I can do transitions between them (not yet configurable) and even define #Dialogic timelines. I can define Hotspots and Overlays and even scripts for each overlay (eg. the parallax effect). Each Hotspot can reference a dialogic timeline aswell :D there's also a requirement and effect system you can use to enable/disable overlays/hotspots or apply an effect after you've clicked on a hotspot :). Polishing phase can start :D!

For a free game engine #Godot is incredibly powerful and I’ve only been tinkering around with the 2D side and the #Dialogic story plugin

Who said I did not have to spend 3 hours switching from #Dialogic to #Dialogue for #Godot?

My game started crashing due to a memory leak (will post about it later) caused by Dialogic. 🤦‍♂️

In any case, I made some progress, and I have implemented 99% of the basic things I wanted to implement.

Tomorrow I will focus on effects, more sounds and shaders to make things spark more 😜

Time to rest!

Sneak peek at the cool stuff @YannKervran has been working on using Dialogic.
"NinePatchrect for texts and changing boxes for textures for background."
That certainly looks like something we can use to style the UI.

Excited to dive into this more next year and do custom art for a few key scenes (player first entering the shipyard, first ship launch, first expedition success, etc).

I’ve been having a lot of fun learning the basics of #Godot and #Dialogic.

Tonight I set up a soundscape manager to play an array of random audio clips with variations in pitch and volume to make a noisy 1800s waterfront scene.

Working on the traveling merchant (based on a design by @majikarpette ) while @YannKervran did a cool test using Dialogic for #godot.

Some of the recent updates to COGITO came from some amazing contributors.

A quick one was just added today: Integration of #Dialogic timelines!

A simple component that can be attached to interactive objects and that can reference your Dialogic timelines.

With this, COGITO now supports two different Dialogue add ons.

Hey #godot and #dialogic or #dialogic2 users! The dialogic team is reworking the official websites in preparation for the Dialogic 2 beta!

Did you release a game using Dialogic 1 or 2? Want to be on the https://dialogic.pro/ site? Let us know! We'd love to be able to catalog the awesome projects being made with the tool.

#godotengine #godot4 #visualnovel

The #GDFG game dev challenge is to work with dialog systems. I started working with #Dialogic and it seems intuitive and powerful so far! #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine :godot:

@cagibidev Localization is definitely something I want to do but am dreading...

#dialogic 1 has some support for it, but I did NOT think hard about it with our UI stuff, and thats definitely gonna be a problem.

Any guides on the topic?

@Emi @exelia_antonov

Somnipathy uses #dialogic extensively with #godot 3. I've been working and testing the build regularly with our close to production game lol.

There are a couple minor known issues I hope to iron out before Somnipathy comes out to push back up stream, but Dialogic 1.5 has a lot of goodness in it!

#gamedev #indiedev

💬 Dialogic 1.5 (Godot 3) released! @Tearcell and @exelia_antonov continued working on it and made amazing performance updates:
https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic/releases/tag/v1.5
This will help those games that are close or already released.

Hopefully we'll soon have the promised #Dialogic 2 for #GodotEngine 4 🥲

After WAY longer then I wanted to take, I finally finished my optimization update for Dialogic 1.x, and now the FINAL final version, 1.5, has now been released!

https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic/releases/tag/v1.5

From here, 1.x now goes into LTS with now new features, and it's all in on Dialogic 2!

#godotengine #dialogic

#godot and #dialogic are among the things highlighted in a recent github blog post! Go team #godotengine!

@afreytes @joelmartinez my #godotengine game Somnipathy is due out soon, and uses a number of community plugins and addons like #dialogic

In terms of other steam games out in the wild
https://www.cassettebeasts.com/ is a recent 3d pixel art awesomeness.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1637320/Dome_Keeper/ Dome keeper saw success last year.

And for better or worse https://store.steampowered.com/app/1388770/Cruelty_Squad/ Cruelty squad is also godot and us very successful

SO Godot can definitely make alot of games! And there is alot in and hitting production.

These days I help keep Dialogic 1.x maintained as I finish up Somnipathy, and I can't wait to assist in the Dialogic 2.x development. It is probably no exaggeration to say that we would not be releasing Somnipathy in 2 months if it weren't for @Emi and the community he built and fostered.

The ability to join something, learn with it, and grow with it has been invaluable.

TLDR : open source makes you a better person

3/3

Being able to use Dialogic 2.0 when I switch to Godot 4 is something I am looking forward to! While Dialogic is pretty handy to use, the improvements in Dialogic 2 sound pretty great. Not to mention all the upgrades that come with Godot 4 itself!

#somnipathyGame #visualnovel #gamedev #dialogic #godotengine

@GungJoe Hm that IS a good point as well. I'll see how 'easily' our system allows for that sort of swapping. #Dialogic for #godot is pretty flexible, but I may need to add the functionality.

Hi Andrea. I have developed a non-dualist "dialogical dialectics" which could may be interest you ?! At least you may find interesting refs to follow. Here's a link toward it:
