Reviews

“I'm a writer, and while I do make visual novels I was just looking for something that would let me branch my stories and give me a clear overview. This looks really nice! Even though I'm not using it for the code I think it will make the clutter in my head a lot clearer on my story writing anyway.”

“An excellent tool for building character dialogues.”
5/5 – Evolution Pixels

“Simply perfect. Nothing to dang complicated; enough customizability and features to keep a developer happy. Priced incredibly fair. 5 stars! I had a rough dialogue system up and running in Corona in minutes, thanks to the simple JSON exporter.”
5/5 – mroberti

FEATURES:

LIGHT-WEIGHT AND EASY TO USE


The editor was created for non-programmers. It is easy to understand and navigate. It is also fast and lightweight - it runs smoothly even on less powerful PCs.

BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE

Minimalistic, highly usable interface. Two themes available: Blue and Dark.

DATABASES

The editor includes a characters database and local variables database (strings, integers, booleans). They are incredibly helpful in organising the dialogue and keeping track of player's progress.

SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE LANGUAGES


Change the dialogue language by selecting it from a drop-down menu. There are no limits for the amount of languages you can use.

EXPORT TO JSON FILE

Export your dialogue with one click to a JSON text file.
JSON files are simple text files, which are easy to read by a human (one like you!). In it, each key is assigned a set of values, for example:

character: "Matt",
message: "Hello!",
is_happy_to_see_you: TRUE


That way it is very simple to import into your favourite game engine or framework, most of which already have lots of tutorials and plugins for importing JSON files and creating dialogues using them.

AVAILABLE NODES (input types):

  • Show Message - Shows a dialogue message
  • Wait - Pauses the dialogue for a given amount of time
  • Execute - Executes a line of code
  • Condition - Takes different paths based on a condition
  • Chance - Has a chance of taking one of two paths
  • Random - Takes different paths at random
  • Repeat - Repeats a part of the dialogue x amount of times
  • Set Variable - Changes a local variable
  • Comment - Used for organizing the dialogue.

The above usage of each node is just a proposition, you can easily repurpose each node to suit your needs.
