Top 3 Game Maker Language dialogue Projects

Scribble

21 316 8.3 Game Maker Language

Efficient, internationalized, multi-effects text renderer for GameMaker

Project mention: A question regarding using right to left languages in gamemaker | /r/gamemaker | 2023-07-21

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.

Chatterbox

12 117 7.8 Game Maker Language

GameMaker 2022 LTS implementation of the Yarn narrative design language (by JujuAdams)

Project mention: does anyone have a non-video tutorial for creating a dialog system? | /r/gamemaker | 2023-05-31

JujuAdams/Chatterbox which PowerPlaidPlays mentioned in his comment may appear in your search results. friendlycosmonaut/Dialogue-System is at the top of my search results. I could see a few others - nothing wrong with more references, right? Just pick your favorite implementation, design pattern, or coding style.

Scribblebox

1 15 2.8 Game Maker Language

Demonstration of Scribble combined with Chatterbox

Project mention: Jack of Clubs pre-alpha vertical slice demo out now! | /r/gamemaker | 2023-05-02

- 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.
