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: 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.
