So much fucking dialogue but the code works fine guys

Get ready for 104 possible different things this man can say during the night time. And like. A lot more during the day.

This mod is designed to minimize dialogue repetition when talking to Elliott during marriage by using random blocks. This makes Elliott feel more like a human perhaps, and not just an NPC with preset dialogue.

The first beta release of this mod will not contain festival dialogue, and only contain changes within Elliott’s marriage dialogue folder. This is so I can get the mod out a bit sooner. Festival dialogue will be added though, just at a later date.

All vanilla marriage dialogue is replaced.

I had to visit family in Arizona, so production is a little delayed. HOWEVER I do have a near finalized portrait sheet! Here's a sneak peak at a few of the portraits!

I have a good chunk of dialogue already written too. Although there is still lots of progress to be made.

Keep in mind, the mod is still in its beta state so some lines may be bugged or contain typos. If you catch anything, send me a tumblr DM and I’ll fix it in the next update! You can also report it on Nexus.

Upon playing the game, I realized that you often get the same dialogue over and over again within marriage. Thankfully, I have fixed that- with Elliott’s dialogue, at least. Being a poet, Elliott should certainly not be repeating the same phrases as much as he does. This man should be a certified yapper. Now he is, with over 400 lines of marriage dialogue! The dialogue ranges from silly, to insightful, to sweet, to corny as all hell, and to a little spicy. Great for a more immersive experience!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

20 more lines need to be written. (of dialogue)

That's 462/482 marriage dialogue lines complete.

Initial beta release for the mod is almost here, I'd give it just under a week.

Future modding plans include:

A second update for the Elliott Marriage Dialogue expansion. It will include more festival dialogue.

A shitposty mod turning Jas and Vincent's dialogue into complete brainrot

An emo themed furniture mod

More heart events for Elliott

A lot of them are already in the works! The Elliott dialogue expansion mod has just been prioritized due to popular demand.

Here are some things that may happen in my Elliott dialogue expansion mod;

-He alludes to mild allergies in the springtime

-He doesn’t know how to change the HDMI on the TV, so he asks you, the farmer how to change the HDMI

-He talks about going to the tide pools to search for baby crabs underneath the rocks

-He contemplates buying pomegranate scented candles for his room

-He stops you to stare at a praying mantis he found on the doorstep (as he should)

-He may lose his favorite pen (it’s stuck in his hair)

-He rants about how much he hates sea cucumbers

This is only a fraction of what I’ve written. So far I have about 29 pages (200-ish lines) of dialogue and I’m still not finished. A good portion has already been implemented into the game, and works pretty well. The mod itself is designed to showcase many aspects of Elliott’s personality. The dialogue ranges from, to insightful, to sweet, to corny as all hell, and to a little spicy

I will release the beta version of the mod when I write 474 lines.

There are currently 352 lines. We're getting there.

shit i might be writing the largest marriage dialogue mod there is for Elliott on nexus now that I think about it uhhhh

*dies*

Anyways, I did the math and if I round up, the mod is 75% complete as of me typing this. Good fucking progress has been made.

Especially since I can sometimes be a slow writer with a tendency to overthink.

After I finish my marriage dialogue expansion for Elliott, (which will likely take more than a few weeks due to the sheer size of it,) I think I’ll try my hand at making heart events for him.I have had some ideas I’ve been tossing around in my head. I’m thinking of raising his max hearts so these events can happen.

-Leah appears at your doorstep. She is happy for you and Elliott! She tells you both how much she is inspired. A couple of days later, she arrives with a completed sculpture called “(farmer) and Elliott.” It’s a furniture item.

- After a trip to the beach, Elliott again finds a tiny crab within his shirt pocket. He decides to keep it. A terrarium for the little crab will be added to his room.

-You and Elliott make for a small trip to his old cabin. He plays a new song on his piano, and you spend the night with him there. He reminisces and it’s all nostalgic.
