Runeforge Dialogue Kit
======================

7 magitech dialogue components for dark interfaces — arcane violet with spell
mint accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Runeforge Dialogue Kit is a set of 7 dialogue components drawn in the magitech
style, where pointed corners and a circuit trace carry arcane colour — fantasy
with wiring under it. 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 pointed corners come from the shape vocabulary rather than from a fantasy
frame, and that is deliberate: this style is the tech half of magitech, not
the carved half. Gradients and outlined compositions alternate through the set
so a spell panel and an instrument panel can share one screen.

Inside that style this is the Runeforge reading of it: a dark interface on a
arcane violet palette with spell mint accents, built around a single bordered
frame, chamfered buttons at 184x52, hollow-cored bars divided into 9 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 Runeforge family,
which means this kit and the Runeforge panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for magitech, alchemy and arcane-science 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.
