Chatterbox's implementation of Yarn continues to be great for just messing around with dialogue and text. I wrote a few intro sentences and memories to test this fireside memories idea and now it randomly combines them when you look at the fire.

Some yarn scripting with a few custom tags:

<<random option>>
->
narrator:[goblin,happy]Gazing at the flickering flames your mind wanders back to simpler times...
->
narrator:[goblin,happy]The fire crackles and sparks. It's warmth reminds you of the family hearth and childhood...
->
narrator:[goblin,happy]The fire flickers, casting long shadows on the walls. You think of home...
<<random option>>
->
narrator:You recall when your youngest brother was teething and destroyed your father's favorite stone cookware.
Goblin [laugh,thinking_low]:He gummed clean through the handle!
->
narrator:You'd kill for one of the fire roasted ice-amanders your sister always cooks right now.
Goblin [drooling,thinking_low]:All crispy and hot on the outside and tongue numbing cold inside.
->
narrator:This time of year the village would be preparing for the festival of bones.
All your siblings, painting animal skulls in iridescent hues.
->
Goblin [thinking,thinking]: I wonder how the sibs are holding up?
I sent a package with that old goblet I found last month.
Should be enough for new boots for the winter, maybe a nice goat for the festival?

This fall continues to do everything it can to slow down dev (RSI wheee!) so for #screenshotsaturday here's another #GoblinGirlGame early mockup I haven't posted, showing off a potential outdoor tileset for the dungeon.

#indiedev #gameui #pixelart #ドット絵

16 bit style pixel art. Top down screenshot of a grassy maze of mossy uneven stone walls. In the center golbin girl runs swinging her sword. There are various enemies scattered around the maze, including a mushroom, grub, crow and some sort of mole man.

The UI prominently displays a large anime style portrait of goblin girl in the bottom left corner holding her short sword. She has red hair in pigtails.
