Realized I should probably post the full quality version of this here!

Really happy with these little action emote pop ups for examining and talking.

They've appeared in earlier posts in the background, but wanted to show them big. Also last night I added a neat little transition when they pop up, using TweenGMS

Going to dive a bit into the code for this one 🧵
I mentioned awhile back that I'd come up with an idea for a way to automate dialogue animation with basically no extra work. The above is the result!

My original plan was to just have a static open and closed version of each facial expression depending on who was talking.
Here's what the script for the new conversation looks like. A mix of native Chatterbox/Yarn and Scribble markup plus some of my own custom stuff. Details in alt text.

The real driver of all the portrait stuff is the markup:
[character_name,expression]
Which runs this GameMaker GML function.

Breaking that function down. It's designed for both flexibility and laziness.
First look for stage direction keywords. Right now that's just "exit" which lets me force a portrait to exit the screen before the conversation ends. I plan to add more.

If it doesn't find a state it looks to see if I have an appropriately named sprite in my project and runs a generic state that just loops the animation. So I can just drop a new image file into GameMaker and it's immediately accessible to the dialogue scripting system, no extra setup needed!

All the two frame talking animation files end with the suffex "_talk". When the function spots this in the expression string, it loads a different generic state with all the talk animation logic in it. Again no setup, it's entirely filename driven.

Here's the talk state code. It checks Scribble's "typist" to see if the text bubble is in the process of typing out text. If it is typing that frame then the animation runs + adds a little tween bob up and down on the portrait for extra juice.

if the typist isn't typing text this frame, it sets the mouth to the closed frame and pauses the animation, but lets the bob tween complete.
This means that the mouth flaps match up with the text typing and the result looks pretty close to hand keyed animated mouth flap without all the effort.

Obviously in a world in infinite art resources, fully animating these with proper phoneme shapes would look even better.
But realistically that's completely out of scope for a one artist game. I think this strikes a nice balance between that and just doing simple static images!

After you talk to the elf you'll get this extra bit of text when examining the stone egg again.
Chatterbox makes it very easy to add little hidden bits of dialogue like this. Great library!

Have enough game now in #goblingirlgame that I made a little demo with a tutorial so I can throw it in front of friends.
I do a regular library work session with
@matthammill once a week, and we've been referring to this state as our respective projects being "game shaped now" -

@woland64.bsky.social Il debito pubblico italiano ha raggiunto un nuovo massimo storico, superando i 3.070 miliardi di euro a giugno 2025, con una crescita netta di 18 miliardi rispetto al mese precedente, secondo i dati della Banca d'Italia,ammonta a circa 50.000 euro pro capite e rappresenta circa il 135% del PIL. Il debito, che costituisce uno dei più alti a livello globale, è influenzato dall'aumento delle spese pubbliche... sgoverno meloni pagare le società di rating non serve!

" Per me, la poesia non è ornamento:
è dimora e ferita, respiro e veglia.
Il poeta è guardiano del fragile e del gratuito,
voce autentica che interroga la storia e il presente,
offrendo alle nuove generazioni non nozioni,
ma esperienze vive di verità e bellezza. "(GGio Loreley)

@valhalla @feorag @Uilebheist When we went to Italy in March, we took the long way around, with the actual border crossing being between Chur and Tirano, and got to Milan that way, before picking up a Frecciarossa there for Naples
The tunnel from France to Italy had still been closed
