Talkit

Web Based, Non-Linear Game Dialogue Editor.

Talkit is a fork of etodd's wonderful The Poor Man's Dialogue Tree which is currently part of Lemma project.

Description

Talkit is a Non-linear, node based, game dialog editor. It runs on jointJS. It exports to JSON with game ready content.

Nodes

Text

Display a message from the specified actor. Actor: Specify the actor who will say the speech. Speech: The text the actor will say.

Choice

Intended to populate the players choices for responses. Title: The title of the choice. This is useful for cases when the buttons the player would have to chose from will differ from the actual speech he will say. Speech: The text the actor will say.

Set

Sets a variable to a value. Can link to one Text, Node, Set, or Branch.

Branch

Takes one of several paths based on the value of a variable. Each port can link to one Text, Node, Set, or Branch.

Node

Does nothing. Can link to one Text, Node, Set, or Branch, or to one or more Choices.

Usage

Fire up the HTML, make your dialog and export. You can add ?load="file.json" to the URL to load a graph saved on cache. Example Output:
