cl-speechless 1.0.0-1.50e9b03

This is a system implementing an advanced dialogue system that is capable of complex dialogue flow including choice trees and conditional branching. Speechless was first developed for the "Kandria" (https://kandria.com) game, and has since been separated and made public in the hopes that it may find use elsewhere or inspire other developers to build similar systems.

Speechless is based on the "Markless" (https://shirakumo.github.io/markless) document standard for its syntax and makes use of Markless' ability to be extended to add additional constructs useful for dialogue systems.

Speechless can compile dialogue from its base textual form into an efficient instruction set, which is then executed when the game is run. Execution of the dialogue is completely engine-agnostic, and only requires some simple integration with a client protocol to run.

Thanks to Markless' extensibility, Speechless can also be further extended to include additional syntax and constructs that may be useful for your particular game.
