For this miniLD I plan to program an RPG-style NPC dialogue system for my touch-screen Android phone as well as web and windows executable.

I already have a very basic proof-of-concept running on all three platforms.

For the art, I’ve prepared several Poser 2010 characters that I can render with various facial expressions.

I have a fighter, a cleric, a retired army general and a wise old alchemist, along with their “familiars” (magical talking animals).  You can see a screenshot of the cast in a previous post.

I think the animals will be more entertaining than the people, so the story will be seen from the perspective of a sarcastic orange shorthair exotic cat named Prince Charlemainge Powerpaws III (prince Charlie for short).

Tools:
– written in HTML and javascript
– windows .exe is just a wrapper for a xulrunner chromeless web browser
– web version is naturally just the HTML file itself
– android version is built using Phonegap (with a WebKit window)

Wish me luck!
