lmao, i was looking at the first one going "wtf am i looking at? this looks like an email history, lol. what is he trying to show me?"

i mean, something like this strikes me as applicable to "choices matter" visual novels. hell even dispatch where your choice can knock out a tooth of character. while this is a fragment of what the overall system does, fig 14 is not the entire system. even if it copies fig 14, that isnt the entire workings of how dispatch. overlap is generally allowed, because you have to argue and convince that its truly infringing or ripping off, without being its own thing. while hitting nails with hammers might be a part of a patent for a carpentry game, its not the whole thing, and its a pretty common/natural sort of interaction that can be easily argued as such. citations help prevent fuckery.
