Sup guys! I wrote this little script in answer to a topic posted by Paladin-Cleric of Awesome asking about a script that lets you place your dialogue in a text file which is then read. I know Andar linked him to the one by SES but this is my take on it: right now it's pretty barebones totally awesome but I'm hoping people will start listing features they want from a script like this so I can build it up to something universally usable.
UPDATE: Script has been updated to version 3.00, which adds so much stuff you won't want to use anything else ever again!

"How do I set this amazing script up, Trihan?" I hear you ask. Well it couldn't be simpler. Behold, a sample text file!

get_dialogue("Eric explains")
get_dialogue("Ryoma says some stuff")
And lo and behold:

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!
