It controls the story and narrative flow for RPGs, visual novels, and other story-driven games. Including player choices, story branching, conditions, code integration, and much more. All of that is done through an easy-to-use screenplay-style scripting language.
✒️ For Writers : Writers have a screenplay-style scripting language to author their stories. 🖌️ For Artists : UI designers can easily create their own Dialog Boxes and Selection Boxes widgets using UMG full power. ⌨️ For Programmers : Programmers can run their own custom code within script, either Blueprint or C++. --- ## Quillscript Language Using a simple set of story writing rules, which includes essential functionalities, like variables, conditions, choices, branching, and code execution; game developers, have a powerful yet straightforward markup language to work with, made with game writers in mind. A scripting-based dialogue has many advantages over common dialogue systems like spreadsheets, graphs, and data assets. Scripts are plain-text files, meaning they are sequential structures, faster to write and iterate, and simpler to review, edit, follow, and track, just as source-control friendly. ### Features {.list-icon} - :icon-check-circle-fill: Easy to use, no setup required - :icon-check-circle-fill: Dialogue and player choices - :icon-check-circle-fill: Conditions and conditional branching - :icon-check-circle-fill: Story flow control and navigation - :icon-check-circle-fill: Execute any Engine's or Project's Blueprint/C++ code from script and capture the return back - :icon-check-circle-fill: Variables and variables replacement - :icon-check-circle-fill: Easy to create a custom User Interface using UMG full power - :icon-check-circle-fill: Localizable out of the box - :icon-check-circle-fill: Integrates with any save system for persistence - :icon-check-circle-fill: Full Blueprint and C++ support - :icon-check-circle-fill: Any text editor can be used, there are no spreadsheets or complex data tables - :icon-check-circle-fill: Optional Visual Studio Code extension for syntax highlighting and autocompletion - :icon-check-circle-fill: Easy to customize and extend
