  Lost hours of work, at the bottom of screen it was confirming it was saving....boy was I WRONG. Truly sad to see. C'est la vie. Not going to use faulty product.

  DO NOT BUY! This product is not longer supported by the developers. There is not way to change the resolution on a Mac (and it's difficult to do on a PC), making the entire user interface tiny! The UI text is smaller than the text you are reading right now on this steam review. There is no way to zoom in or out and your canvas space is limited, so if you want to create a novel or keep everything in one place you are screwed. A really nice tool that unfortunately is practically unusable due to its interface.

  This program is not suitable for use in a production environment. The program has multiple bugs that have not been fixed. The output JSON is often malformed. Node duplication causes contents not to be saved. The program lacks basic functionality like specifying an output directory for exports. Additional tools are needed to make it usable. It appears to be a hastily assembled tool slapped together using existing free Godot UI libraries. I was unable to reach the developer after multiple attempts to reach out.

  Very nice tool, the only problem I found is that the json export creates a mixed array for the characters list, with strings and numbers. This is a bit of a problem with strongly-typed languages like kotlin (that I'm using), so I need to edit the array each time I export it.. It would be cool to avoid creating mixed array and just put everything as string

  Advantages - Convenient and functional dialog editor. - Nice interface design. Easy and not loading system. - The editor can be used both for creating dialogs and for creating branched blocks of stories (for any type of game). - I was pleasantly surprised when I learned from the file structure that this editor was made on the Godot Engine (this is cool). Disadvantages - I haven’t noticed the cons yet, time will tell.

  I really like this, it has some issues and some important additions I think will be easy enough to add. In the following video we look at implementing it and the Godot Dialogue System https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqECpmfahZo Fantastic software, extremely user friendly and ideal for your creatives / writers and authors to start knocking out scripts for the coding team. The author should be extremely proud of what they have created! The only downside is that I'm not a big fan of the JSON output, writing a new parser for it will not be simple, there is a Godot Parser available. I've yet to try and pick it out and put it into my own framework. It is perhaps designed to be too user friendly at the expense of flexibility. What would be fantastic would be for the editor to allow for custom fields or tags, similar to characters / variables etc. Custom fields could be associated with the various nodes and have a specific query system in the parser. In my case I want to add custom elements like associated filenames for audio with particular nodes. I'm sure there will be more I need to add as well. Finally, not all of us need cameras, so it would nice to make the camera follow checkbox optional (even better, make it a custom field). Other than the above, I highly, highly recommend it and I invite the author to join me on live stream to talk about the project in more detail if he/she would like. We will certainly be looking to put it through it's paces in the next few episodes. What an exciting find!

  useful little program but: 1.Most important - Need auto save after any changes. (like some screenwriting programs and mobile apps - its very intuitive, fast and effective in modern world) If not AT LEAST ask about saving edited document before exit. lost some time on this one - intuitively closing document assuming it will ask to save or saving already like most programs i use. 2. wish it will have some ui improvements possibility to control everything from keyboard fast (e.g. shortcut for creating specific node, auto choose last type, choose character with arrows or other keys (like vim) hit enter, auto jump into text window after ctrl+enter jump to choosing variants or ctrl+enter and jump to creating new node with choosing type with shortcut or with arrows- theres not so many of them hit enter, shortcuts for fast navigation between nodes) create and choose nodes after dragging connection with mouse 3. use actual zoom scroll 4. less important for me but looking into possibility to edit theme and workflow environment like placement of elements and their size and colors.

  I love the concept but the json it exports is too convoluted to implement manually, you'd be better off creating your own dialogue system.

  Great software. Would be great also a simpler "choose your own adventure" template :)

  Looks okay on the surface but I had to refund straight away because there are only 2 zoom levels (which you toggle with a button). For that reason I can see this would be useless for navigating medium to large trees. Mouse wheel should be used for zooming.
