Add narrative text for a mini-game

Why this task matters

This is where your story comes alive. The narrative helps your player understand the journey and its emotional stakes. Revisit the Add narrative text for intro & outro tutorial if needed.

Tips

When adding story and dialogue to a mini-game scene, there are a few important differences from how it worked in the intro and outro scenes:

1. Starting Dialogue Is Handled Differently Per Mini-Game

• Stealth & Sequence Mini-Games: These usually use a Cinematic node at the beginning of the scene, just like intro scenes. You can add your starting dialogue here.
• Combat Mini-Game: There is no Cinematic node. Instead, the starting dialogue is placed inside the FillGameLogic node. This is done intentionally to make sure the dialogue appears before the action starts. So if you're designing your own version of this game, always add your opening narrative inside FillGameLogic.

2. Dialogue After Completing the Game
All three mini-game templates use a CollectibleItem node to signal the end of the mini-game (your “completion” condition). This node also includes a dialogue field that is shown after the player completes the mini-game. Be sure to check and customize this dialogue to match your story.

3. Optional Checkpoint Dialogue (Stealth Only)
In the stealth mini-game, when the player reaches a checkpoint, a bit of extra dialogue can appear. You can find this by clicking on the Checkpoint node in the Scene Tree and adjusting the dialogue in its Inspector. This is a great place to give encouragement, add a hint, or continue the story as the player gets closer to the goal.
