We're working on a visual upgrade for the story dialogues in the game. Right now, it's the classic setup—character avatars and text. It works, but it's missing that "wow" factor.
Now, imagine this: instead of small portraits, you see full-body characters standing in front of you, talking. The atmosphere instantly becomes more immersive, right? ⚔️
We're already experimenting! To avoid spending months on final art for a concept that might not work, we used AI (Gemini) to create quick mockups. And honestly, we were pleasantly surprised by how good they look! 😄
We're now getting these into Unity to see how they feel in the actual game. If you guys love the direction, we'll move forward with creating fully hand-drawn art for all the heroes.
Now, we'd love to know what you think:
What's your take on full-body characters in dialogues?
Do you usually read these scenes, or are you a skip-button champion?
How do you feel about using AI art for prototyping like this?
Let us know in the comments! Your feedback is like a Mana Potion for our creativity—it keeps us going!
