Unity2D Dialogue System - Names, Portraits, and Layouts using Ink Tags | Unity + Ink tutorial

In this video, I show how to manage NPC Names, Portraits, and Layouts using Ink Tags for a Dialogue System built in Unity. This tutorial uses a Dialogue System built in a previous tutorial. If you're just starting out with building a dialogue system for your game, I recommend watching the other video first (see below links) and then coming back to this one afterwards. This tutorial also uses Ink, which is an open source narrative scripting language for creating video game dialogue that integrates nicely with Unity. Thank you for watching and I hope the video was helpful! 🙂 ► INK + UNITY TUTORIAL PLAYLIST The full Ink + Unity tutorial playlist that this video is part of can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSRpcftVyKg&list=PL3viUl9h9k78KsDxXoAzgQ1yRjhm7p8kl ► TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:25 How it's going to work 2:53 Project Overview 3:51 Adding to the UI 6:19 Creating an Ink file with Tags 8:37 Parsing the Tags 10:50 Setting the Speakers Name 11:26 Setting the Portrait 14:00 Setting the Layout 16:43 Resetting to Defaults 17:28 Outro ► DIALOGUE SYSTEM WITH CHOICES TUTORIAL VIDEO Here's the tutorial where we built the Dialogue System being used for this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY0Sk93YUhA&t=755s ► INK TUTORIAL VIDEO Here's a tutorial for if you're interested in learning more about writing Ink files.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSRpcftVyKg&t=29s ► GITHUB PROJECT The '2-choices-implemented' branch is what we started with at the beginning of this video, and the '3-portraits-implemented' branch is the final result by the end of this video. https://github.com/shapedbyrainstudios/ink-dialogue-system ► MUSIC The backing music is custom made by @themaykit. https://www.instagram.com/themaykit/ ► DISCORD Come ask questions, suggest a video topic, or just hang out! 📱Discord ➔ https://discord.gg/99gcnaHFf9 ► THE PATH OF REN Wishlist The Path of Ren on Steam! 🎮 Steam (The Path of Ren) ➔ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1619920 ► SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS 🐦 Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/ShapedByRain 📷 Instagram ➔ https://instagram.com/ShapedByRainStudios 🕑 TikTok ➔ https://tiktok.com/@ShapedByRainStudios 🌐 Website ➔ https://ShapedByRainStudios.com ► SUPPORT Any support is much appreciated!
