Bestiary with narrated deacriptions

Post by Hidden Hands »

If anybody here has ever played The Suffering and The Suffering 2: Ties That Bind, they will no doubt remember the incredibly creative and creepy bestiary pages that could be unlocked by finding pages throughout the games world.

I would like something similar for my game. The idea is to have a bestiary, which looks like a book of demonology. Turning the pages reveals monsters that have been faced and their descriptions are both written and narrated at the same time by the games hero. (A demonologist). I can easily record the lines that is of no issue. But how to make such a bestiary??

Thanks in advance.

This could be easily done with strife dialogue. Pretty easily. Check my WoS, it includes journal with something pretty similar to what you want.

But keep in mind that Nash's PDA requires latest zscript.
