UNITY VISUAL NOVEL: SUMMARY OF DIALOGUE SYSTEM: If they still look blurry, increase the text object Rect and Font size to at least 30, and then scale down to intended size in Canvas.Ġ.

#UNITY 3D TEXT BLURRY FULL#

Increase the Game view to the full intended size to see them more clearly.

Canvas Text elements display blurry in the Scene view if the physical size of the Game view window is small.

The Canvas Hierarchy display order is vertical: elements lower in the Hierarchy under Canvas display in the Scene on top of elements that are higher up in the Canvas.

Buttons can get OnClick() Event Triggers to call (activate) a script on another object.

UI Objects can be static (display a message or image and not change) or be updated by a script.

This works best if the Canvas is set to 1280x720 and the Game view is set to display at 16:9.

In the Scene view the Canvas appears over-large, but in the Game view the Canvas maps over the visible screen and tracks with camera movement.

UNITY CANVAS: a Canvas is a 2D space to hold UI Game Objects like Text, Images, and Buttons. PRACTICE ZERO-DRAFTING!: All of this art must be drafted as super-quick roughs so the enmtire game can be implemented and revised WHILE the more polished art is still being produced.Īudio is not required for a Visual Novel, but background music and ambient sounds can add a lot to a Scene's mood and immersion, if you have someone on your team willing to make them.

Also consider Splash Art (full page images, 1280x720) for the Main Menu, Win and Lose Scenes.

Images for Buttons in the Frame Scenes and Pause Menu (play, quit, etc, try 250x80).

Background images for the text fields (suggested: namebox 250x50 and speachbox 800x200).

Consider multiple images per character, with changes in pose and face to support their performance!Īlso plan your UI art witha consistent look and feel to go across all Scenes:

at least one image to represent each character in the scene (1280x720, transparent negative space).

at least one background image (1280x720, 72ppi).

Type an ART BACKLOG: Once you have outlined your story and flow diagram, type a list of all the images you will need for your Scenes.Ĭonsider hand-drawn / painted elements and / or manipulated photography.

Does it follow a girl turtle DOWN the beach to the one big light, or the boy turtle UP the beach to the many lights, or its own nose to the sweet smell ALONG the beach?Įach of these choices leads to places (new Unity Scenes) with choices that can lead to death (and being eaten by vultures), or chances to revisit old choices, and one slim path for victory.Ĭonsider player stats you can track to provide alternative outcomes: objects the player collects, characters the player befriended or pissed-off, that could change later inetractions / access).Īlso consider motion effects to enhance the experience, like type-on or shaky text, or fade-away images. The first choice is to decide what to do next. Smaller choices affect the flow of the conversation in a Scene, and help the player define their character.Ĭonsider this OUTLINE and FLOW for a short interactive story about a turtle who has just hatched from its shell. The design of this system turns choices into places: big decisions are about going somewhere else for a new interaction.
