My Star Wars Day yesterday had laundry chores in the schedule. My morning music time was also a bit selfish in choosing what I wanted to listen to instead.

Lancer Tactics dialogue layout crisis of faith

(from this month's backer update)

Every so often, I'll run into something in development that eats away at me until it pushes me to a crisis of faith and I have a breakdown, burn down a bunch of work, and build something better from the ashes. These are moments of transformation and we're almost always able to come out the other side with something much better than what we started with.

This all sounds very dramatic until you take a step back and see the issue in question is just, like, the layout of a menu. But if medieval priests were able to have schisms over angels on pins I can have strong feelings about graphic design, dammit!

This month's episode revolved around how we're doing character dialogue. For reference the plan was to do a standard 4-slot visual-novel talking heads layout. I call it a 4-slot because there's usually four positions that characters can stand; two on the left, two on the right:

I had it ingame, and it was working. But... something felt off. Do you see the difference between every one of the above examples and this?

It's all about perspective, baby.

Answer: all the character art in those examples are drawn at a slight angle so they can be flipped back and forth to be made like they're looking at each other.

Trying to do this with the perspective we chose early — straight on — makes for a chorus line of weirdos who are looking directly into your soul as they ostensibly chat with each other. Credulity is strained; the illusion of these puppets interacting in the same space is paper-thin.

(I was skeptical of choosing this perspective for this reason, but we ultimately went with it to make the customizable assets in the portrait maker easier to fit together)

We tried a bunch of different layouts, but they all at least one of these problems:

they'd stare into your soul while ostensibly directing comments elsewhere.

they felt like text messages; this would be fine if that's what we were going for, but we wanted something that could represent face-to-face conversations. (Tactical Breach Wizards was able to pull this style off because they had little 3D dioramas to go along with it)

or, most damning of all, they felt like zoom calls.

So, my heart aflutter and spirit in want, I spent a day doing a research dive into various dialogue layouts (bless the Game UI Database!) to see if any other games had managed to pull this character art perspective off. I ended up with this massive non-chronological taxonomic tree:

(fullsize here)

The type of layout that particularly caught my eye was this style where each character had their own little box. These layouts borrow a concept from comic books called "closure" where the space and time between characters are left blank. Freed from the constraints of trying to simulate a single space, these layouts allow the reader to fill in the blanks with something that feels more true-to-life than anything we'd be able to render ourselves.

I was especially impressed with the dynamism of Tales of Symphonia and The World Ends With You; rather than sticking to single slots they would animate the entire panels moving around to indicate motion an relative position of characters.

So we threw out the old code and copied them. Here's what we've come up with:

We'll be able to have portraits interact, like smacking each other (I felt like a kid hitting two action figures together, lol)

We can also apply effects like princess-leia-holograms and full-screen "lighting" effects like warning banners:

Carpenter and I came up with a number of arrangements that the portraits can smoothly transition between:

I've also implemented support for choices during a dialogue, potentially leading to branching paths.

Overall, I feel SO much better about this system than our initial designs. It might feel a little more cartoony, but I think we're making a cartoony game so that's not a problem.

Whew. We bit a lot off to chew with this project. I feel like I just made a second visual novel game engine inside of the first. Fingers crossed that it all ends up worth it.

@pscentral​​ EVENT 08: DYNAMICS: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Leia Organa + ELIO’S 2.5K PARTY ★ KENOBI (2022) for @lillard

Princess Leia Organa, you are wise, discerning, kindhearted. These are qualities that came from your mother. But you are also passionate and fearless, forthright. And these are gifts from your father. Both were exceptional people who bore an exceptional daughter. [layout]

"Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" for the Sega Game Gear is an adaptation of the popular Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) title, bringing the thrilling conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy to a portable format. Released in 1995, this version was developed to deliver the epic storyline and action of its console counterpart to the handheld audience, adjusting its gameplay and presentation to suit the Game Gear's capabilities.

Graphics and Audio

Considering the limitations of the Game Gear’s hardware, "Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" manages to impress with its graphical presentation. The game features scaled-down versions of the SNES game’s sprites, which remain detailed and recognizable, despite the smaller screen and reduced resolution. The backgrounds are simplified but effectively recreate key locations from the movie, such as the forests of Endor and the corridors of the Death Star.

The color palette is well-utilized, with the Game Gear’s ability to display a wide range of colors on screen at once making the visuals vibrant and engaging. This is particularly evident in levels like the Speeder Bike chase through the forests of Endor, where the green hues and motion effects create a sense of speed and danger.

Audio is another area where the game stands out, given the limitations of the Game Gear’s sound hardware. The iconic John Williams’ Star Wars themes are adapted into chiptune format, maintaining the epic and adventurous feel essential to the Star Wars experience. Sound effects, from lightsaber clashes to blaster fire, are effectively recreated, enhancing the action and immersion.

Gameplay Mechanics

Gameplay in "Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" is adapted from the SNES version, focusing on platforming and action. Players can choose from multiple characters, including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo, each with unique abilities and weapons. The game includes a mix of side-scrolling combat and vehicle-based levels, which adds variety to the gameplay.

The controls are responsive, which is crucial for the Game Gear’s smaller form factor and button layout. The game accommodates the platform with simplified controls that still allow for a good degree of precision, necessary for the platforming sequences and combat.

Innovations and Influence

While "Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" on the Game Gear does not introduce new gameplay innovations, its ability to translate a complex SNES game onto a handheld system is noteworthy. The game demonstrates how well action-packed, multi-genre gameplay can be adapted to a portable format without losing its essence. This adaptation is an early example of how console games could be reimagined for mobile play, a concept that would become increasingly important in the gaming industry.

Cultural and Historical Context

Released towards the end of the Game Gear’s lifespan, "Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" represents one of the more technically ambitious titles for the platform. Its release during a time when portable gaming was becoming more popular showcases Sega’s commitment to providing a diverse library of games, including adaptations of big-name franchises, which helped to sustain the Game Gear’s market presence against competitors like Nintendo’s Game Boy.

Conclusion

"Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" for the Sega Game Gear is a commendable adaptation of a more technically advanced game. By successfully bringing the excitement and narrative of the Star Wars universe to a handheld device, it offers an engaging experience that respects its source material while making necessary adjustments for the hardware. For fans of Star Wars and retro gaming, this game is a fascinating study in adaptation and a testament to the capabilities of the Game Gear.

Dear Halloween,

Mother finally returned home yesterday (after 30 days of nursing grandpa), so we immediately binged the latest Spy X Family episodes in Spanish.

She also liked the layout of the living rooms and I got to finish the flower stands for the patio.

Now it's Halloween and I'm without an outfit. The princess Leia outfit we bought was a Extra Small and Hugo lent out the ghost cloak. At least GameStop gave us $120 bucks for 12 retired games (like the original Horizon Zero Dawn and Mafia).

Today was also lots of errands and driving, even now I am 🎧 to ASMR and drifting to sleep. Hopefully i van work on the follow-up tonight though.

1. Apply to Clerical support at the Housing Commission.

2. Exercise. Either my 2 hr route or at home.

3. Read "Legends & Lattes" and do Pimsluer.

4 Unreal sentinel ir Blender.

6. Repair Hugo's PC.
