After fighting with creating a dialogue system, I finally came across Dialogue Manager plugin for Godot 4 and I have to say... This thing is powerful and super streamlined to use!

Since this is going to have heavy story elements (Which you don't have to pay attention to if it's not your thing) it's very nice to have a system that gives it more impact and features that I wouldn't have even though about implementing!

I'm looking forward to playing with this more, and creating my own dialogue scenes which at some point may include actual character images too! We'll see though, art is not something I'm good at and it's very hard to find an artist willing to work long term on a free project.
