All game dialogs you see in the game are created when they are needed (lazy loaded). Creating dialogs from scratch is quite a time consuming process and making simple changes get confusing when looking at paragraphs of code. I wrote a simple program to visually create dialogs and export them into a stripped down format the game can load. This makes creating and tweaking dialogs much easier and much faster.
A name in parenthesis and in bold is the finder of the bug/quirk. Thanks to all, I really do appreciate your time and support. Cheers!
