Mutters VS inkgd

There are two types of chatbots -- unreliable freeform ones (e.g. GPT-3) and reliable script-based ones (e.g. Alexa). I believe that what you're looking to do (dynamic rewriting) is moreso an active research topic!

The script-based chatbots are very similar to those in the 80s, with one major addition -- the options at each choice point are now "intents" instead of exact text (e.g. "the user intends to order a taxi"). Machine learning is then used to classify whatever the user says/writes as an "intent," then the script is followed to the next choice point.

See this open-source project for an example of using Ink to drive a script-based chatbot similar to Alexa: https://github.com/rabidgremlin/Mutters

This series of videos is a step-by-step tutorial showing how to create a visual-novel-like games using Godot and Ink. This project uses the inkgd plug-in developed by Frédéric Maquin: https://github.com/ephread/inkgd Visual assets are made by puppetbomb: https://puppetbomb.itch.io/college-students-sprite-pack

There are other tools like that, if you're interested. Inkle (maker of 80 Days and Overboard) make another text based language called Ink, and there's an online hosting tool for making stories with it. Godot can even integrate with Ink-written stories, but it requires a bit of programming knowledge to get it to hang together

I would say something like Inkle's Ink could do this easily, though it can be overwhelming to look at from the start. There are a couple of Godot integrations with Ink, both a C# one here and a pure GDScript one (though they warn it might be slow on large games). InkGD has a couple examples that use simpler Ink stories, so you might just look through that for the examples to start.

Hey, looks great! I wonder what did you use for dialogue system. Do you have any recommendations? There are many repositories for this for Godot (some just UI, some using graphs, but most are abandoned), but it's hard for me to decide. All I know is I don't want to build yet another system from scratch, just plug it into my UI. From what I have researched Ink with Inkgd (https://github.com/ephread/inkgd) seems the most maintained and robust solution. Any opinions on that?
