Heya Pals,
This video I thought I'd go a little deeper on the changes and growth of the dialogue system in Insignia. I want to show you where it started, where it is now and how it got there, with hopefully a few handy tidbits of info along the way that might guide your work.

Let me know if you want more of this content. I'm thinking of mixing in some topdown pixel art tutorials soon, what do you think?
