I’m currently working on a major new feature.

It’s a brand-new block for the scene tree, dedicated to instant messaging conversations.

This new system will allow you to:

• Create a custom smartphone menu with personalized icons

• Create a contact list and initiate conversations

• Build an image gallery using images shared during conversations

• Create conversation trees with 2 to N participants

• Offer the player dialog choices directly within conversations

• Assign a conversation avatar to each character

This feature is quite complex to develop, and I’m currently very busy working on it.
Because of that, I won’t be available for the next few days to answer questions.

Thanks for your understanding, and see you soon with more updates!
