GameMaker | How To Build Branching Narrative And Dialogue | GameMaker @GameMakerEngine | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Coding a system to store dialogue and structure your game's narrative can seem difficult. Still, with the help of JuJu Adams' Chatterbox library, we can develop an entire visual novel demo in under 15 minutes.
In this tutorial, we'll learn to: use a node-based dialogue editor to create branching conversations, use libraries in GameMaker, and create a visual novel-style display.
