Redline Dialogue Kit
====================

7 cyberpunk dialogue components for dark interfaces — blood black with warning
amber accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Redline Dialogue Kit is a set of 7 dialogue components drawn in the cyberpunk
style, where every frame has its own asymmetric outline — a notch on one
corner, a rail down one edge. 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.

The silhouette is composed rather than scaled: each of the four corners and
four edges takes its own treatment, so no two frames in the set share an
outline. The neon glow is a stack of strokes at falling opacity, not a blur
filter — a filter is applied differently by some SVG rasterisers and turns the
halo into a smear at 4x.

Inside that style this is the Redline reading of it: a dark interface on a
blood black palette with warning amber accents, built around a single bordered
frame, chamfered buttons at 140x36, hollow-cored bars divided into 10
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 Redline family,
which means this kit and the Redline panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for cyberpunk, sci-fi and near-future 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.
