Recon Dialogue Kit

Recon Dialogue Kit is a set of 7 dialogue components drawn in the field kit style, where stencilled panels with squared corners, a bone trace and exactly one signal colour. 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.

No glow and no gradient anywhere: a painted crate does not glow, and the restraint is the whole look. The silhouettes stay close to the rectangle and earn their difference from stepped shoulders and edge rails rather than from cuts, which is how stencilled field markings actually behave.

Inside that style this is the Recon reading of it: a dark interface on a gunmetal palette with flare orange accents, built around a single bordered frame, chamfered buttons at 116x32, hollow-cored bars divided into 20 segments, and two-tone icons on a 16px 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 Recon family, which means this kit and the Recon panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for tactical, survival and military interfaces.
