Step 7 is done (???)
Man. I tumbled down the fucking coding hole hard. How are other people developing games is a fucking mystery to me.
Anyway, step 7 is sorta done. But it's messy. And not really working as intended.
Before I go to step 8. I want to refine this.
And yeah, ignore the draconian quality of the dialogue box. I was ripping hair out of my ass, trying to make this to work. So making it look good can wait.
So - what has been achieved:
-Dialogue box implemented
-Dialogue system implemented. Can create dialogue for anything, anywhere now
-Clue system sort of works. By interacting with clue spots, you get a clue. Once you collect all 3, you open up the journal to check out who you are dealing with
It's not perfect. Seems like a bad move to steal control of the player. For now it will do. Once I start working on the menu, I'll come back here, so you have to open the journal yourself.
As I said, before step 8, I still need to make this work properly. Wish I had chatGPT, I would ask that AI fuck a few pressing questions.
Any programmers among you?
Anyway, I'll get back with step 8 in a day or two, if I finish with this.
