Monologue is a powerful non-linear dialogue editor. 🦖

You can find the wiki here.

Monologue is a graph node based system dialogue editor that allows you to create modular and non-linear dialogues in any game engine.

The principle of Monologue is to assign a unique ID to each node, so that any node can refer to any other node. This powerful mechanism allows you to create amazing dialogues and stories.

Monologue example

Super Simple export

Monologue is working with just a simple JSON file and nothing else. You just need to save your chnages and it will update your JSON file.

Features

Easy to use: A simple and intuitive user interface.
JSON: Everything is stored in a JSON file.
Godot: Monologue is built using a free and open source game engine.
Manage everything: Control audio, backgrounds and characters.
Variables: You can define variables, compare them and update their values.
Events: You create events to execute storylines when something happens.
Test: You can test your story directly in Monologue.

The JSON file format

{
    "EditorVersion": "",
    "RootNodeId": "", # The id of the root node (where all start)
    "ListNodes": [ # Where all the nodes are stored
        ...
    ],
    "Characters": [ # All the characters
        ...
    ],
    "Variables": [ # All the variables
        ...
    ]
}

Interpretation

You can write your own script or use the MonologueProcess script here if you're using Godot.

To use the MonologueProcess script, create a script that extends MonologueProcess. This will allow you to use the built-in signals. You can read more about this in this script.
