Hi, new to the forums, and I had a question:

How can you make it so that during dialogue, the character’s name will show up above the dialogue box (sort of like The Phoenix’s Quest)?

WHY IS Phoenix’s Quest soo poplar!!!  
So in Phoenix’s Quest we use the story extension

Use the story extension’s `print character text` block and expand the block to use the label parameter.

Yo thanks so much! I recently played Phoenix’s Quest, and I understand why it’s so popular, it’s an amazing game! By the way, I did have another question on how you created that box where you can type your name?
