Dave goes over a bunch of dialogue features of PowerQuest, various ways to do dialog trees, and even how to add voice and lip-syncing.
PowerQuest is a Unity tool for 2d point and click adventures. Get it here: powerhoof.itch.io/powerquest
This is a much slower & longer tutorial than the overview video (youtube.com/watch?v=ZJR85alnGIU), and I cover a lot of random things. In retrospect should have made it shorter.
I intended to make more of these, however it took a long time to make this (even rough as it is) so I'm not sure if I will. If it's helpful though, let me know and also what specific topics to cover in future!
