VN Mode Overlays and Effects

[Pseurae]

For keeping a track of proposed overlays and effects ideas to be used in VN Mode.

[Pseurae]

Console

Emulation of a script loading Wintermute, with console loading animations (dots and caret) on each statements, along with visual changes on execution of the given statement.

Sample

/* Start off with a black screen */
Project Wintermute
Ver. 0.95 rev2

Initiated WM Sandbox. /* Show the BG */

Firmware: TRNL-2184 v.192 c2412
Accelerator: Turnell Media Accelerator H2
Chipset: WM203-42

Connected to Turnell database. /* Display the load AI menu */
Done.

WMService

Emulation of the log display for a middleware process interacting with the front-end (Dokis) and the back-end (the Wintermute server).

The above-mentioned middleware is responsible for collecting and sending data to the server to be processed (and stored forever) and receiving the processed data and responses and applying them.

Sample

WMService:listener start speech recognition polling.
WMService:listener stop speech recognition polling.
WMService:socket send packet "response".
WMService:socket received packet "interaction".
WMService:parser decoded  packet "interaction".
WMService:actor apply "expression" from "interaction".
WMService:tts play "dialogue" from "interaction".

Neural Network

Emulate the AI server processing input data by adding a simple neural network diagram and updating it periodically and on interaction starts.

Emotional Statistics

Read MPT tags and increment variables to emulate emotion recognition of the AIs using values mapped to each tag.

Sample

happy:    3.3
sad:      7.1
anger:    8.1
fear:     2.0
disgust:  0.9
pain:     6.3

Sentiment Analyzer

Display the sentiment attached with the current dialogue of the Doki and whether it's a positive sentiment or a negative one. This can just be a value that's passed through say arguments or could be auto-generated through a 3rd party library.

Sample

Sentiment: Nervous [neg]

Reload

Emulating reloads after nodeCor commands by making a progress meter with two sprite silhouettes, light grey and dark grey, and having a meter text meter attached at the centre, after dissolves into a given sprite after completion.

[Pseurae]

Terminal

VN mode terminal where you have to "enter" nodeCor commands.

Similar to Superhot's computer terminal system where you type press any character on the keyboard and the game inputs the actual command's character per keypress.

[Pseurae]

BG Picker

A background picker which allows the user to change the VN mode background.
