I added the lines of dialogue for each of the possible options to the game through an individual .json folder.
This took a while but is TOTALLY worth it as I don't need to jumble my already messy code and it also lets players view them easier if they just want to see them. There unfortunately only 3 lines for each possible outcome (good, neutral, bad), but with 11 possible post options that pad out to 99 lines in the game. I'm DEFINITELY happy with this if I can implement it into the game properly.
jsoneditoronline.org was the most useful thing ever for this, as I would just cut my text in and change the file name, before saving it and boom all lines were added.
I also cut out the most and least popular post tabs, as I have no time to make them work.
I am excited to actually implement the new function for randomly making text into the code tomorrow! I will also get playtesters if possible and have a final push to get all the other menu buttons and other features working!
This jam has been a blast and whether I finish or not, I'm glad to have participated and I look forward to what people think of my game!
