AdvX 2018 - Jon Ingold - Sparkling Dialogue: A Masterclass

I heard the name Jon Ingold a while back because I wanted to do something with their company's Inkle system, which is a tool for interactive fiction and dialogue trees. This talk of his ▶ this video is about how to do dialogues in games properly, and is very entertaining to watch. He rewrites the scene from Blade Runner where Deckard meets Rachel into a dialogue tree where all the choices are meaningful and there aren't any "right" and "wrong" choices. Here's another of his talks in my YouTube history: link

Jon Ingold (inkle's narrative director) has a great talk on game dialogue [1] -- he implements a scene from Blade Runner in Ink. Super insightful and entertaining. I've been using Ink a lot lately and really appreciate the work the community has put into it! Our team released a suite of interactive songs [2] last year -- we used Ink (and its handy Unity integration) to implement the core mechanic of two-player lyric choices in real-time, and even used it to handle some truth table logic for the credits :) [1] ▶ this video [2] link
