Jack of Clubs pre-alpha vertical slice demo out now!
- ScribbleBox: Another gem by JujuAdams, Scribblebox is a combination of Scribble and Chatterbox. Scribble handles the text rendering, and Chatterbox handles dialogue. I write dialogue in a program called Crochet, which saves your dialogue in a .yarn file that Chatterbox can import into Gamemaker. Learning Yarn was a bit of a process but wasn't hard. I can even use Input to make text clickable with the mouse, which was a huge pain without it. If your game has much dialogue, I strongly recommend it.

A question regarding using right to left languages in gamemaker
Just use Scribble. Your method is highly inefficient using an object for each character, and Scribble will handle everything you need and a lot more very efficiently.

Is gamemaker the right engine for a "visual novel" type game?
I wrote two specific libraries for this: https://github.com/JujuAdams/chatterbox for branching dialogue and https://github.com/JujuAdams/scribble for text rendering. The former is being used in Schrodinger's Catgirl, the latter is being used in Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon, Poinpy, Skies Of Chaos, and a bunch of other commercial games.
