Character Dialogue System Prototype

Building the Dialogue Engine

This entry documents the development of the dialogue branching system with emotional state tracking. The prototype handles player choices that affect character relationships and story outcomes.

System Architecture

The dialogue system consists of several interconnected layers:

• Choice Nodes - Player decision points with branching consequences
• Emotional States - Character mood tracking across conversations
• Relationship Variables - Dynamic affinity scores between characters
• Consequence Mapping - How choices ripple through the narrative
