+# Guidelines for chats
+
+Each chat should contain:
+
+- A short introduction
+- A main node from which questions can be asked
+- Questions may lead into sub-nodes with more sub-questions, which have an exit option that takes you back into the main node
+- Each node shouldn't exceed 4-5 options
+- AVOID hiding questions until the player gains more knowledge about the NPC. While it makes things more realistic, the user experience sucks, since the user will always worry that there are some hidden conversation options that one is missing because knowledge hasn't been unlocked yet. It also makes the definition file convoluted and hard to read/understand. Open up everything from the start. Share vital info in the introduction (of the NPC or of the sub-node)

 For now, see chat.rs for the source code and the individual YAML files for examples.

+  - How did you make it?:

+      - It's some computer graphics software made by some Dutch guys in 1994.

+      - Just do a quick search search on the web for a download.

+    - If human, then what is the wiring of your visual cortex and parietal lobe?
+    - Do you use a neural interface? If yes, what's the exact wiring and settings?
+    - How long have you been looking at it? Color changes over time as photoreceptors fatigue.

+          - People have tried objectively defining colors before.
+          - But the only thing that's objective really are the photon wavelengths.
+          - Everything beyond that is made up in your mind, can change from person to person.
+        - The dress is red.:
+          - Exactly.
+          - It's red to you, subjectively.
+          - But how was I supposed to know that? Only you can tell.
+        - I'm not looking at the dress, therefore it has no color.:

+    - To change your appearance, you had to harvest materials and put in actual physical labor to shape these into clothes.

+    - No, you're not doing it justice.:
+      - Hm?
+      - With virtual avatars, anything is possible.:
+        - Amazing, right?
+        - But when you work with fabric, you're interfacing with physical reality.:
+          - Hm...
+          - Every material has its quirks, its unique character.:
+            - Yeah, I guess you have to get to know it before you can even do anything useful.
+            - It takes a deep, intuitive understanding of reality to design real clothing.:
+              - 3D modeling gives you some constraints too! But... I guess they're not quite as... fundamental?
+              - And with no undo or autosave, every scissor cut carries great significance.:
