Can you support Float variables? It seems like it would be trivial to add.

Totally forgot I bought this while using godot, then I moved to Unreal... saw it in my library thought I'd click through just for fun. Looking at it more I suppose it's a universal tool, though I really only used with with the Godot Dialog system... Any one actually know  a good work flow for actually using it with Unreal? 

Is there a trial demo?

Purhased today. Where i can find Tutorial how add this dialogues to Construct 3 ?

Still waiting on my steam key months after buying this. If you are looking for a free and mantained alternative for Gamemaker (and other engines as well) then check out Chatterbox, Yarn Spinner and Crochet Interactive Dialog Editor.

Buyers Beware: this software is no longer maintained. It has serious bugs that make it unsuitable for use in production.

When will steam keys be available again? And will there be a fix for M1 Macs?

PLEASE, make the UI on OSX scalable. I'm on MacBook with a 13'3 inch display and right now it looks like it's permanently set to size 4 or 6. Currently, on OSX at least, this app is impossible to be worked with. *I'm working on it through Steam if it means anything.

3.2.4 has introduced a fairly annoying bug where the individual node collision boxes don't line up with what's visible on the screen. This can make it really difficult to link nodes depending on the zoom level. I've tried this on multiple PCs with different display ratios and resolutions. Hopefully we'll see another update at some point that'll fix this.

I would like to use Dialogue Designer to structure the entire course of the game.

The things I would really like in Dialogue Designer would be project tabs and duplicating nodes preserving their size.

Really great product! It was very straight forward to implement in Construct 3 and works beautifully.

The one feature I would love to see is that the 'Execute' block also had a dropdown-menu with predefined code samples/function names as local variables have.

Any plans for an update? Would love to see multiple zoom levels and the ability to change variables/characters names

Would it be possible to add a feature to duplicate multiple nodes at once? For what I've see it's only possible to duplicade one node at a time.

Hi Matt,

Great software!  I want to make a few requests:


1. It would be great if the files knew their own name.  For example if i save a file as foo.json but then externally edit it as bar.json and re-open.  When I save it still wants to save itself as foo.json.  I think it should just associate itself with whatever it's file is actually named in the file system.

2. Similar issue with folders. Having a base project folder is a bit odd.  It would be better to just have a save dialogue pop up where you can choose a folder in your file system (similar to most other software).  When you open the file back up it should know where it is located in your file system and want to save itself there by default (file > save).  I have a lot of dialogue files and it gets hard to organize having to sit them all in the same base project folder.

3.  Do we really need a 'save' and an 'export'?  I get that export doesnt include the graph stuff used in the program itself but its really not saving you much to not have the graph included in your json.  json files are really small to begin with.  if someone is really upset about the size they can always go into the file and strip the graph info out of there.

--- Basically you should have a save, and save as option (just like most other software) ---

4. Global list of characters and variables please :)

Is there any chance to change the Charactername by language?

For example a NPC is called "Mystery Man" in english but "Mysteriöser Mann" in german.

It is very intuitive to build dialogue, and I plan to use it in really big projects, but have a lot to things to improve:

(Current version is 3.2.1, using in GMS 2)

Bugs: 

- The horizontal bar isn't working

- The purple baloon that shows the text of Show Message boxes flicks when changing zoom

- Don't know about other languages and engines, but in GMS you can't name variables inside a struct with numbers, like in Chance Branch and Random Branch (i hade to split strings to use it properly)

- I use a notebook, and the program doesn't accept when I use for example Ctrl + Alt + W (that would write "?"), and it's REALLY BAD having to use Ctrl + F Ctrl + V EVERY TIME

Missing features(something really basic): 

- MORE ZOOM OUT, PLEASE (for what i've read from reviews, it's a really old problem that haven't been solved yet)

- Show Recent files in the "File..." section

Nice things to add:

- Option to minimize boxes

- Switch condition

- Option to search for a text (something like Ctrl + F)

Just out of curiosity: With which software / language / engine have you developed this?

Hi there :)

How is it licensed?

After spending a bit of time with Dialogue Designer, I have to say that I'm very happy with the program. Matt, I'm not sure how active you are in updating Dialogue Designer, but I thought I'd provide some feedback:

Being able to easily duplicate nodes would be a huge quality of life improvement. My suggestion would be ctrl+left click and drag to duplicate a node.

Choices: It would be really useful to be able to change the order of choices by dragging them. As most engines will use the order to loop and display to screen in order, being able to easily change the order would be a big help, as right now it requires deleting choices and rewriting, and relinking. It's a major pain when you realise you need a new choice at the top of the list.

Renaming characters. Currently, any change to a character name requires a new entry, which means that every node they speak on must be manually changed. Ideally, this could be changed at the character panel with changes reflected automatically across nodes. Renaming variables would be a similar improvement, but only if it auto-updated any node references to the changed variable.

Ability to add additional values to nodes would be useful. I'm currently using slide_camera as a boolean checker for animation control, but it would be nice to be able to rename it or add multiple checks.

Start node is not always index 0 which is annoying as you need to loop through the json to find the start block

When removing languages from a project, they are not removed from choice branches.

Overall, I'm really happy with DD. I'm hoping it continues to get the support it deserves.

I got a big problem with this app and just wanna share my experience. DON'T EVER make something that overwrites a file without asking for confirmation.

I did a copy of a .json file and renamed it, but when i opened and made i change on it, i pressed a button to save and he saved on the previous file name... and in a second i just lost a few days of work.

For anyone struggling to implement this into Construct 3, I've created an example project that might be useful. Note that it's in the style of my game which is more like an adventure game (inspired by Monkey Island's dialogue system), though it wouldn't be hard to adapt to your needs.

Hopefully it might be useful to someone.

Need free  scroller zooming for scale percentage.
