A downloadable tool



Making dialogues for games
beyond a simple question with one answer, can be quite a hassle if your engine lacks some built in tools for it. It was one of the main hurdles for me in order to progress in the main game i have been working on for a loooong time. But not anymore!

Explainer - short version
I think you get it from the images. It's node based. Supports one npc and one player - a duologue, where you can set up a maximum of three possible options for each player turn. The layout control in Wevr finally gives some more precision power in CopperCube for text alignment in overlays, and each overlay automatically adjusts it's height in order to fit the amount of text - i am fine adjusting that at the moment and the result is already above my initial expectations.

JSON & Javascript output
In less than a second, Wevr generates a code in either simple JSON, so that you can use it in your own programming endeavours / other game engines, as well as a more complex Javascript output for CopperCube. In CopperCube, just initiate a trigger action that runs the script, and it does it's magic.

I'll release it as soon as i have made some proper documentation work, like a short video tutorial, a usage document and a ccb test file.

DisclAImer:
Claude (AI by Anthropic) has been used to make Wevr. That said, i have put weeks of my time to make Wevr work. From early hand drawn sketches, the name, the visual and functional design, some html-coding, and a lot of testing, correcting, and failing and testing again...

If you like Wevr, use it for something good and have fun with it! If you dont like AI at all, then dont use Wevr, but spare me any negative comments please.

I am old enough to have been around to see much injustice being done to people, our societies, non-human animals and the planet. Knowingly or unaware, we all use many other questionable products, tools and services, or are part of systems in everyday life, which also have their respective nastiness tied to them. It's not an easy world to navigate ethically in, and i much welcome more transparency/journalistic research into AI / Big business / Nation states / The military-industrial-complex, etc.

My stance regarding the use of AI, is the same for every other product, tool or service. I cant avoid them all, and AI is here to stay, so i have a progressive way about it. I dont use AI for everything and all the time. And i am an artist. I love to experiment and learn. I use AI in order to improve the old ways and try out new ways. If it turns out good, i'll want to share the progress and results with others.
