The Evolution of My Game's Dialogue System

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 top-down pixel art tutorials soon, what do you think?
