NPC Dialogue Template

If you're working on an NPC but aren't sure where to start with their dialogue, the template below lists some of the most common places for dialogue and gives you space to start fleshing them out. Note that you're not limited to these options; you can, for example, set dialogue specific to season, different heart levels, specific days (such as festivals), other weather conditions, and vanilla or custom conversation topics (e.g., the community center being completed.)
