Use text effects to convey emotions through chat
Hey !
...
HEY !!!
I HAVE AN IDEA !!
Not saying it is necessary, not saying it is useful... but it's certainly COOL I think !!!
Imagine... being able to show you are angry, shocked, happy, excited, etc, only through... :
TEXT EFFECTS!!!
Okay, okay... I KNOW ! Right now you must be like my parents and think "What the HELL is he saying ?!" or maybe something like "What the f*** is he doing to that tree ?!!"
But HOLD ON !!!
Just give me a minute...
We know those emojis thingies now are the casual way to show how we feel internally inside our own heads when we send those messages to our lawyer or to LL COOL J (I hope he sees this)
But again... just imagine... being able to select from a range of text animations/effects !!
Here are some examples of what I mean :
ANGER:
A BOLD and RED text ShAkInG the whole screen violently as each of its letters are displayed to the chat !
SADNESS:
An Italic and Blue text WaavVVViiiinnNNNG as our soul, still crushed, struggles to put down the words on the keyboard platform interface device.
HAPPINESS:
A (yet again) BOLD and YELLOW text Jumpy and well... happy ??? I mean... you get the idea !!
And... well... I have to be honest now... it's not entirely my idea... I know... disappointing...
This idea was actually inspired by the dialogue UI from a game called Katana ZERO (a game you asbo-friggin-lutely HAVE to play by the way (i swear it's rly gud)).
So, if you want to have a better idea of what this...
TEXT EFFECTS!!!
thing I'm talking about is... then check out what Katana ZERO's dialogue system looks like, through a video, or (even better) by PLAYING IT !!! And maybe then you'll get a clearer idea of what I mean !
I KNOW... it might not be that useful... and I know... there might be some other thing to focus on right now... BUT WOULDN'T IT BE COOL !!!
okbye
