Storytelling elements

[solemn junco]

I think it would be cool if we put our own little stories, into our dungeons, like text boxes or something

[naive garden]

We had one once, but removed.
Reasons are to prevent any potential defamatory or bad words into the level xd.

[solemn junco]

awwe :(( makes sense, I wanted to make a cool little story where these 3 adventures got trapped in a dungeon and were transformed into the bone bad guys, like you would find out through daires

[naive garden]

You could try tell a story using the level's environment, It's much cooler than using texts honestly.

Maybe in the future, with more stuff into the game.

The only thing that would just outright tells you is the signs, but if you're really good at designing a dungeon, you can use something like a skull, shovel and diggable ground.

Overworld map maker will be released soon. But that's as close as a storytelling we are going to get.

[solemn junco]

omg thank u so much

[solemn junco]

woah

I am gonna have so much fun, I am a writer

[scenic moon]

And Julian is trying his hardest to implement prefix texts so that swearing doesn't happen.

[solemn junco]

understandable

[muted leaf]

I think pulling a Souls-like and making all texts limited to a set of words would do much to avoid profanity.

[scenic moon]

I hope we get a choice to add extra words and remove bad language in this game. Or if they try it can be covered up in symbols.

Like in Ocarina of Time with the carpenter boss.

They had to censor his bad language.

But we all know what he said.

[naive garden]

That would be ALOT to filter, I know people will bypassed it.

[muted leaf]

Text censors can be finicky too.

[naive garden]

The Carpenter Boss itself works because, Obviously, isn't automated.

[scenic moon]

Not if Julian is clever enough.

[naive garden]

Uhh...

[solemn junco]

other than it be a cutsy game, why would- nevermind I just put too much faith into people

[solemn junco]

why would it need to be censored?, but then I realized people would say bad things

also I am assuming since it's going on consoles ERSB won't be happy

[muted leaf]

Not to mention the tendency for folks to be...lewd.

[solemn junco]

lovely T-T

Halo has a similar thing in place where it's censored

[scenic moon]

Inbefore someone makes a very inappropriate dungeon in a shape of a genitalia.

[naive garden]

Not the first time.

[muted leaf]

That's actually a rule of game design, by this point

Give a creator the chance, and [BONGS] will be made

[scenic moon]

I want to try to make a dungeon into a fox face. And call it, the fox's muzzle.

[solemn junco]

that's cute

[scenic moon]

But hopefully this game gets further support. But I hope this storytelling element can be implemented so that it can be used appropriately.

Because Julian did say this game is aimed towards mainly children.

[solemn junco]

yeah, gives me Minish Cap vibes

[scenic moon]

I keep an posting this. But here are the dates for future major updates.

[solemn junco]

an update in my birthday month

hell yeah

I mean

heck

Alright. But great idea btw.

Hope Julian thinks about this idea carefully.

[solemn junco]

me too

thanks

btw if Julian needs writing help, I can help

[muted leaf]

Actually, now that I think on it, the ESRB doesn't monitor online content as such. It's like a full disclaimer and everything.

That way some jerk won't ruin the game rating for everyone.

I really want to do storytelling elements like dialog with NPCs, but I understand the need to prevent abuse. Would have been fun, though!
