Hello! I'm interested in having text that, well, has an animation when being drawn on-screen. Specifically, I'm looking to have text in a calligraphy font, that is literally drawn as if with a pen. I would have to design the animation, of course, it's the implementation I need help with. I've looked into this, but found nothing quite like what I'm looking for. I'm not attempting to get text that is animated; on the contrary, the only animation is when it's appearing in the text box. Does this make sense? I have a few links to relevant code, but they don't discuss the concept I'm talking about.

I know this is an especially weird feature, even from me, so thank you if you can provide any help!

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
