Dialog Trees – Meta-Guide.com

Notes:

A dialog tree, also known as a conversation tree, is a gameplay mechanic that is used in many adventure games and role-playing video games to allow players to interact with non-player characters (NPCs) through branching dialogues.

In a dialog tree, the player is presented with a series of choices for what to say to the NPC, and each choice leads to a different response or conversation branch. The player can choose from a variety of responses, and the NPC’s response will depend on the player’s choice. This allows for a more interactive and dynamic form of character interaction, as the player can shape the conversation and the direction of the game through their choices.

Certain video game genres, such as visual novels and dating sims, rely heavily on dialog trees and branching dialogues as a key gameplay mechanic. These games often involve complex storylines and character interactions, and dialog trees allow players to make choices and shape the direction of the game through their interactions with NPCs.

Branching story editor is a tool or software program that allows users to create and edit branching storylines or dialogues, which involve multiple paths or choices that can lead to different outcomes. Branching story editors are often used in the creation of interactive media, such as video games, visual novels, and branching narratives, and allow users to create complex and dynamic storylines that can adapt to the choices of the player or user.
Branching dialog, also known as branching dialogue, refers to a type of dialog or conversation that involves multiple paths or choices that can lead to different outcomes. Branching dialog is often used in interactive media, such as video games and visual novels, to allow players or users to shape the direction of the story or conversation through their choices.

This allows for a more interactive and dynamic form of character interaction, as the player can shape the conversation and the direction of the game through their choices.
Emotion engine is a software system or algorithm that is designed to simulate or model emotions in virtual characters or agents. Emotion engines are often used in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and robotics to allow virtual characters or agents to express and respond to emotions in a more human-like manner. Emotion engines can be used to improve the believability and interactivity of virtual characters or agents, and can be implemented in a variety of applications, such as virtual assistants, video games, and social robots.
