Think it'd be best to chat with art/design on which exact scenarios they have in mind for Case 2.
There are a few things that come to mind that might warrant a "new" solution over the existing slot system:
However, if there's only one scene with two characters sharing a screen exactly once, I'd probably just create a scene with offsets that fits both characters by hand and call it a day. 👀
As discussed on discord this is already possible , albeit a bit verbosely as the jump to position action needs to be called as well at the speak action to switch the speaker. A minimum fix might just be to remove the need for jump to position and make the speak action set the speaking animation as well as the text box name/colour.
Has there been any further communication how the writers/artists want this feature implemented with the new scripts? I.e. is it actually used at all
Heeeeeey, guess who created a redundant issue? ðŸ«
Plenty of usage planned. I'd be fine with closing this in favor of #443, since that has a clear design based on the meeting on August 5th. Or you can just copy over the details to this one and close the new one; whatever you prefer!
Description
Writers want the ability to display two characters on screen simultaneously. This is slightly more complex than just "showing 2 characters at once" since we'd need to adjust their positions so they're taking up the left/right of the screen, rather than both sitting centered.
Acceptance Criteria
This story will be finished when we can achieve an effect similar to shown in this Mockup.
This includes a way for writers to invoke this behavior via a Narrative Script.
