Discussion about hearthling speech

[malley]

@Doc_Brano

When mining and they find an ore they would be telling others about the great find

Like Bees! I love it : ).[quote=“TMS_Stoneaxe, post:4, topic:26130”]
Tree
House
Rock
Gold coins
Rabbit
Goblins
A undead
Rabbitman
Maybe a field or desert depending on the kingdom
A sun or moon
Campfire
The town banner
And various tools

Good ideas : ).

@BarbeQ

Those bubbles could be filled with icons, representing current tasks, needs, whishes or fears of the Hearthlings. Different colors of the icons could categorize them. Things they fear (like seeing an enemy or starving) could be represented in red. Needs/tasks could be blue, similar to the currently used ‘hungry-icon’. Whishes could be represented in multi-colored icons (whish to own a bed, talk to someone, play with a pet, etc). Hearthlings could not only state their thoughs this way, but also talk to others about it (at the campfire, while sitting with others at a table). Maybe other items for social interactions could be implemented, too.

Oh cool, I like the idea of using the speech bubbles as a way to give the player information.[quote=“BarbeQ, post:5, topic:26130”]
Some form of voice

Its very much still up in the air what we are going to do about voices - but we are leaning heavily away from ‘true voices’ (comprehensible words).[quote=“YetiChow, post:12, topic:26130”]
I think those simple and cute things could directly relate to the “gripes and praises” page of the town journal

Great ideas : ).
