Candy Dialogue Kit

Candy Dialogue Kit is a set of 7 dialogue components drawn in the cartoon style, where a heavy clean outline wraps a glossy face with a single sparkle. 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 gloss is a hard-edged split at 44% of the height, not a smooth gradient: a soft fade reads as glass, a hard split reads as drawn. The offset drop shadow is solid rather than blurred for the same reason.

Inside that style this is the Candy reading of it: a light interface on a warm cream palette with bubblegum pink accents, built around two concentric frames, fully rounded pill buttons at 168x56, banded bars divided into 6 segments, and solid 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 Candy family, which means this kit and the Candy panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for anime and cartoon games.
