New message boxes

Nothing particularly brilliant or world-changing here, but on the day that MV was released, I was experimenting with having the message box contain a non-scripted 'animated' character pic, as well as being able to change the background of the message box (in reality, just positioning a picture of the appropriate dimensions and having a transparent text box appear on top of it, giving the illusion of a contextually sensitive message box).

The box of solid color in each was where I located my 'talking heads' as it were.

These were all hand-made in Photoshop and Manga Studio.  I may make more, I may not, but I offer them to the community for unlimited use in noncommercial projects, save for credit.  If you wish to use these in a commercial project, please contact me beforehand.

Happy Message Box



Murderous Message Box



Romantic Message Box

I never thought of using message box backgrounds, but I can imagine using some for spirits, demons and the like - interesting idea, thanks!

Great!!

Do you have images with sample text in them? I'm curious to see how well it would show up against those.

I can used in comercial game?
