JULY 2020 UPDATE - Dialogue

Dialogue is now a thing in Traversal!
Here's how it went from awful to excellence:
Player interacting with a dark, shadow version of himself while a textbox flashes on-screen.
Turns out that I was moving it off-screen the frame after its creation.
A screenshot of glitched dialogue in Traversal. The letters are drawing over other letters.
that doesn't look right...

Yes, that says Undertale.
You'll see a lot more of that on this post.


I'm sure that I'm the only person who finds this funny.

Damnit.

uh oh.
A screenshot of dialogue in Traversal that reads"Undertale is a 2015 RPG created by Toby Fox." The letters are perfectly aligned.
I SCREAMED POG.
After a couple days of on and off incorrecting the wrong code, I finally made it so that characters can have a full conversation rather than just saying one line.
