YarnSpinner VS vngine-rs

Another option if you don't want to implement it yourself though is to use an already built library. I've been playing with YarnSpinner a little bit recently and I'm liking it so far. I can't give much more details than that, but it's maybe worth a look. At least for some reference.

I looked into other solutions, but haven't tested them yet: (Ink)[https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/] (Yarn)[https://yarnspinner.dev/]

I am currently working on a 3d Unity game that uses a classic visual novel interface for conversations with NPCs. I am using Yarnspinner for the VN parts. It's a very powerful and flexible middleware that allows you to write your dialogue trees in a very simple domain-specific language.

I recommend looking into Yarn

After writing several own dialogue solutions, I decided to use Yarnspinner as a dialogue scripting solution for my latest project. It's really powerful, flexible and easy to use. I see no reason why I would ever want to invent my own again. It comes with a sample dialogue UI, but the website has a guide for how to create your own.

Please have a look at Yarn or Twine :)

Find ways to tell those stories without complex mechanics. Visual novels and text adventures are a great example. If you have a budget, hire a good artist and maybe look into voice over actors. If you're short on budget, look into AI to generate images and even to do voice over. As for tools you have Twine, Ink and YarnSpinner, to name s few and, in terms of game engine, don't lose too much time picking one. Whether is Unity, Unreal, GameMaker, Phaser, Pygame or just HTML with vanilla JS, go with whatever makes you feel comfortable and requires the lowest amount of effort for you to start doing something.

Yarn spinner

It’s a package for Unity. It handles all the dialogue stuff for you, and gives you software to write dialogue too. You can check it out on their website https://yarnspinner.dev

The main purpose for creating it was simulation of stories, and is meant to be used as save system in video games. I'm currently using it in multiple projects (pn-editor, VNgine).

I just created some dialog parsing library. It's meant for simulating interactive stories, for example dialogs in games. Originally it has been part of my visual novel engine and is still used by it. I just turned it into a new crate, now. I might want to use it in future games I make as well.

I'm working on some visual novel engine for some time already, and currently need help about some features.

In my current project I use three different markdown inspired formats.

I'm already working on other programs to make use of these interactive story formats, like a visual novel engine (which doesn't use perti nets anymore).
