Hello. Does anyone know whether it is possible to have the language used in game to be one that's not English? For example, would I be able to write a Japanese dialogue for one npc?
Thank you for your time.
As long as the characters of the language used in the game can all be stuffed into the first 256 slots of a TTF font set they can be displayed by AGS.
AGS currently doesn't support multibyte characters yet, so direct usage of CJK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK) fonts is not possible. For Japanese, it is possible to stuff just the Hirakana or Katakana symbols in a font set (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=20792.20) if you use only these, but if you want Kanji as well it is not easy without tricks (like in this game (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=29194.0), where the Japanese dialogues were all sprites).
