Trying out a different texture behind the speech bubbles to distinguish them from the footnotes, for which I am using the normal narration box. I'm noticing the legibility is kind of bad when scaled down but it looks okay at full res, though maybe the outlines could get thicker. #gamedev

During today's stream I mostly did some scripting and troubleshooting around a gap in the action sequencer that allowed the player to start two dialogues at once, but I also drew some new expressions for Julian and the walkers to work with their final dialogues. #gamedev #art #cartoons
