Utilities Permanently 70%off. Storyteller 2023. Dialogue , Interaction, and more (Unity Awards Nominee)

Latest tutorial using Game Bridge and Storyteller 2020.1.8

This is the basic setup.
The only code written in the tutorial is to trigger an animation

Code (CSharp):

1. public Animator animator;
2.  
3. public void SpinNow()
4. {
5. animator.SetBool("spin",true);
6. }

so only bare minimum coding ability is needed if you are triggering custom functions.

 

Game bridge is now included in the storyteller package.
The evaluation version of storyteller can be found on StorytellerEngine.com.

 

Is it easy , is it hard ? the answer is here

 

What's up with the game bridge asset?

 

GameBridge is now automatically included with the latest version of Story Teller.

 

So you only need to import one package.

Storyteller 2020.2.2 now has FULL LOCALIZATION SUPPORT 　

That version will be released soon.

 

Storyteller 2020.2.2 has been released.

PLEASE SEE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
When you launch your storyteller project for the firsttime with this new version you will see no text. Your text has however not been deleted.

Right click in the canvas and go to Windows> Languages> Update System.

If you have SceneData setup, push the data back to your SceneData and click the setup button on your character or dialoguer component in the inspector. that's all.


To show you an example of Locaclization , the Dating Sim example project is now in Japanese and English.

Version 2020.2.2f has been released.

 

Hello, I got interested in this asset as the engine for a visual novel. I have a question since this would be a requirement I got. Does it support importing the dialogues from a script file?

The use case here is that a story writes will be able to write the script without having to use the Unity Editor, then I will import his script in the editor or even at runtime if it is supported.

Thanks for clarifying this.

 

Not yet. i will be adding a converter in a future release. It should only require some formatting so that Storyteller knows who is saying each line and if the line is Dialogue or denotes an action.


Any import would happen outside of runtime.

This is something i am looking forward to adding

 

I have just completed addition of a functional text to node tool which just requires that you drag in your txt file and press two buttons.Of course you will have to structure your story so that the system knows what it is reading. You can choose how to.structure it.

It generates the story with timed dialogue which can them be use in game, but i would suggest cleaning it up before just putting it in game.

This new text to node function is recommend for imfrequent use by persons who already have an existing text based story and would like to turn it into a storyteller story.

Storytellers features make the need of a text editor largely irrelevant.

That said, A text editor is only largely irrelevant because there is a need for a place to dump large blocks of text. I am also working on a text ediror but we will see how for that goes.

 

Also, The new localization system added last month works fine but broke something else. I just fixed it . So the Text to node BETA and the patch fix will be in the next update.

 

When using the Text to Node tool.

Just make sure to structure your story/ dialogue like this.

{ } start and end a dialogue
[ ] character name

{[Tom] Hello everyone how are you doing today.}
{[Tom] I need to talk to you for a few minutes}
{[May] Sure, no problem}
{[Claire] hello people }
{[Tom] So we are going to have a party}



Choose the language that your story is in.
click Create Character
click Create Nodes.

Done

 

Version 2020.2.3b released today

 

How to convert your prewritten text into nodes in Storyteller

 

Hi, are these errors of concern? I just imported to 2018.4:

 

The warning are a non issue and the errors there seem to point to an example script saying that the int value LanguageIndex does not exist. open the SceneData.cs to see that LanguageInxed int is there.

If you are using an old version of game bridge , you should delete it and import only the one that comes with storyteller.

 

Oh and if you are moving from unity 2017 to Unity version of a different year. Do a storyteller import from the assetstore after you have moved to the new Unity version. This will ensure that you have Unity version specific Game Bridge codes and scenes.

 

New update has been released.

 

A new and major update will be released either at the end of this month or early next month.

 

You can now outsource development of your project to us. Please send your questions to daimangou@gmail.com or just ask them here or on the official DaiMangou Discord.

 

Hello, i wanted to check that inside the text I could add dynamic strings or int/floats example - the character name may be set by the player, or "i see you have [ int gold] gold in your safe.." or "i see your favorite color is [string color] ."

and wow only $15 right now..

 

Yes you can do all that . i am doing a little experiment, which is why the price is so low right now.

 

Storyteller 2020.4 is going to be amazing!!!!!!

 

Hello, does the asset contain some kind of load/save system?

Updating to Storyteller 2020.5 versions

And this is the new timeline interface



Users projects will also be featured in the Main ui (in a way that is not annoying)

 

I studied for two days and it's very bad to use. Strong dependence and limited expansion space. Far worse than the dialogue system for unity plug-in.

 

And what were you trying to do? Your opinion is what it is but you may have just been doing things wrong.

 

Also, what limited expansion space?

 

For future posters.

Don't just post generalized slanders with literally no scenario references to back up your statements.

 

Anyway,

Here is the new Creation interface.

When you create a new project and can give the project preset settings




You can also now use the "Store images locally" setting which is a big plus when it comes to pre-production project sharing.

 

Next version may be released by tomorrow. It has two minor updates, one is a bug fix which prevents an error after you drag a node in the timeline but don't have have story sample editor open.

the ability to completely hide data in the timeline for a more focused workflow


you can press the H (hide) button in the menu bar to show all hidden data or hide all hidden data

 

Your website claims there's a sale on this asset but there is not unfortunately. Is there going to be one for this 50% sale?

 

oh no, its actually even worse , it says 80% OFF +/ i forgot to update that part oops

 

okay, i just fixed it
hmmm the Assetstore team will decide if there will be another sale on the asset
