Coinop Dialogue Kit
===================

7 arcade dialogue components for dark interfaces — plum black with coin gold
accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Coinop Dialogue Kit is a set of 7 dialogue components drawn in the arcade
style, where the colour is the body rather than the border — saturated slabs
with pointed ends. It contains a speech box with a tail, a speaker name plate,
dim and bright continue indicators, idle and selected choice rows and a
tooltip panel.

A dialogue box is the single most-read surface in a story game, and it is not
the same thing as a window panel: it needs a tail that points at whoever is
talking, a name plate that sits on top of it without covering the first line,
and a continue indicator with two frames so the engine can blink it.

Each slab is filled with a two-stop gradient running along its long axis, and
the marks are drawn dark on top of the colour rather than bright on top of
black. The pointed ends are part of the silhouette, so they survive being
scaled instead of being an outline effect.

Inside that style this is the Coinop reading of it: a dark interface on a plum
black palette with coin gold accents, built around a single bordered frame,
chamfered buttons at 200x56, hollow-cored bars divided into 5 segments, and
two-tone icons on a 32px grid. Those measurements are why two families can
share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an
edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The selected choice row is marked by an indent and a pointer rather than by a
colour change, so the state survives a colourblind mode and a greyscale
shader. That matters more here than anywhere else: choosing the wrong dialogue
option is a mistake a player cannot undo.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Coinop family,
which means this kit and the Coinop panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for racing, arcade and score-driven interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Nine-slice the dialogue box on its flat regions and leave the tail in the
    fixed corner, or it stretches into a wedge when the box grows.
  - Blink the continue indicator by alternating the dim and bright frames at
    about 2 Hz — the two frames exist so you do not have to tint one at
    runtime.
  - Anchor the name plate to the top-left of the dialogue box with a negative
    offset of about half its height so it overlaps the frame.
