Pixel Stories 0.19.0 is all about staging your cutscenes exactly the way you imagined. Dialog events now support layouts so you can place the text box, name box, and character portrait anywhere on the screen and tune details. We also shipped new events for stopping player movement and camera related events. Finally, the in-game settings menu gets an update with quick share and fullscreen buttons.
Customizing dialog screens
The dialog event editor now lets you build a layout with the text box, name box, and portrait components. Portraits and names box can be set in the dialog event content with custom tags. With each of those components, you can customize the position, size, colours, text styles, for how you want the UI to look.
