Unity Editor Tool- Storyteller

here on the AssetStore

Storyteller is a storytelling and storyboarding , Dialogue Building  Unity tool which allows anyone to tell linear and non-linear stories, visually by giving you the ability to see the past present and future of a story simultaneously and make changes at will without breaking the flow of your story.

This of course being a way of writing which is not possible in linear text based documents like MS word. and Storyteller brings Writers directly into the development pipeline by allowing them power to control story flow live in unity.

Many other software  used in dialogue creation add complexity to the dialogue , storytelling, storyboarding process.For smaller games, such systems is an over-complication of a process which should be straightforward and simple.

Storyteller comes with these editor windows.

Storyteller node editor- for building stories, dialogue, game flow diagram, plotting gameplay, storyboarding etc

Timeline Editor - for creating and changing interactions between characters

Scenes Editor - for creating and removing scenes (level specific scenes/ cutscenes etc)

Properties Tab - any node you select has its info displayed in this tab. you can change and view node info there and break node connections.

Link Manager Editor - (example )allows you to link character A from scene 1 (or whatever scene) to character B in scene 2( or whatever scene ) to make character B become character A. this is how you share characters across scenes. You also use link manager to link environments and link nodes. link nodes allows us to make connection to other nodes without using any visible connectors on screen which will make the editor look messy. They are a good way of constructing complex diagrams in storyteller.

Story & Settings Editor- this is use to sat a range of character, environment, scene , recording, storage and export settings

Templates Editor - Allows us to create and share templates of works that can be created with storyteller.

Object Selector Editor -  for selecting Audio clips for sound effects

Route Selector- for selecting anode which allows you to complete a time loops and make your characters move through time.

Story Sample Editor (BETA)- Works with the timeline editor to allows you to sample character interactions.

Some of the general Features:

Voice recording Support for voiceover, Image support for storyboarding, text mode for writing and specialized simple nodes for carrying out various tasks such as branching story, looping through time, triggering dynamic story change and more. Furthermore we only give you 8 nodes to do all this with.

One of the newest features is  dynamic screenshot system for capturing the entire CANVAS without having to zoom out. This will generate a large single picture of your entire canvas. In the future I may optimize this for printing so that studios what print out their storyboards can do so without worrying about ink cost.

This is where your writer should work, not in MS word.
