Better In-Game Chat Overlay

Game chat systems suck. This overlay fixes that. It's a simple, modern and free chat system overlay for games. Inspired by the game that currently has the best chat system in the world, Overwatch.

Most game chat systems currently:

• Close on you for no reason
• Close when you're on the loading screen and no way to chat while the game is loading
• Close when you res-pawn
• Have a chat delay bug (I hate you Valorant)

Overwatch doesn't have these issues, and so doesn't this overlay.

Cons of using this overlay

• Some games require you to sign a digital signature to allow full screen overlays (I hate you Valorant). This will require you to play games in borderless full screen mode which can add latency. I don't have the money to buy a signature.
• Only probably works on Windows (The superior OS).

Features of this overlay

• Command system
• No filtering, reporting. You run your own chat server.
• Custom key-bind to open chat
• Press up or down to navigate through your messages (Just like a command prompt)

How to use

• To open the chat, press the Shift+Enter key (Can be rebound).
• To send a message, press the Enter key.
• To close the chat, press the Escape or the Shift+Enter key.
