We should include a basic extensible dialog system. It should be able to

Draw dialogbox (we could use for that an autotile, as it already contain the needed algorithm to draw it. Maybe we should extend the asset object to be able to return a reusable texture)
Draw progressively text. Basically, instead of being drawn just as one block, the text should be added character by character. A basic solution would be to use a canvas and add progressively the text.
Colored substring, and some effects like shaking or rolling text ? Animated text might be a problem with how progressive text should be drawn
Pause the scene world when a dialog box is active.
Make customizable the look and feel of the dialogbox more than just changing the base autotile.

Putting that in version 1.0.0

A good base for the dialog system could be Moan : https://github.com/ttxi/Moan.lua
