Arrow VS godot-google-play-billing

One way is to create your narrative in Arrow, then export and use it as a database for your runtime/interpreter. The official HTML-JS runtime is based on the same idea. Arrow uses this runtime to create playable exports (mainly for play-test and review). Yet it means you can use this runtime (with customization) to export text-adventures directly from the editor as well. Another way is to create multiple chapters, scenes, etc. and export them as assets for your game (e.g. each scene or branch as a dialog-tree for your RPG).

JSON is just a text file with some specific conventions to be easily readable by other programs. Though, I took a look at the Inky's JSON export, and it's kinda convoluted. In your case Arrow might be a better fit. You can also consult with your programmer, since he'll be the person implementing your dialogue in game.

I use Arrow for dialogue/scene planning.

For others who are curious, here is the Arrow GitHub repository.

Arrow v1.0.1 is released and now has the textual save preference I promised.

New release of Arrow (v1.0.1) is out.

There's no post or pre processing stack. You cannot access world normals, motion vectors, depth buffer and such. You can only access the color, by creating a viewport.

Multiplatform support sucks. Mobile official plugins are dead [0], the package size is way heavier than Unity, you've got performance problems and nothing can assure your game will even be approved in Google Play. Android dev heavily requires plugins (Admob, Play Games), so unless put your game at a fixed price, you're not accomplishing anything. There's also no console support.

But wait, the Godot leaders made a company called W4 to fix these issues! They'll bring in console support, official mobile plugins, hosted multiplayer and such. But it's an investor funded company, and they stated that they will sell the stuff. Sooo, the "it's free and open source!!!!" advantage over Unity that everyone loves doesn't seem that great now.

I could talk all day long about Godot issues. But let's just sum it in "It's just Gimp, if compared to Photoshop". It's NOT a "It's just Blender, if compared to Maya".

I've lost all hope on the project, it's stil years away from reaching feature parity with, at least, Unity 5. But I hope Bevy does better!

Hello, I have downloaded the plugin from https://github.com/godotengine/godot-google-play-billing/releases and I have placed it in res/android/plugins but I don't believe it is working. I am testing it with the following code which never gives any output:
