The friendly tool for writing game dialogue, in and for Godot

---

Wol is a tool for creating interactive dialogue for games. Its based on YarnSpinner and it's Yarn language.

Write your conversations in Yarn, a simple programming language that's designed to be easy for writers to learn, while also powerful enough to handle whatever you need.

Yarn's similar in style to Twine, so if you already know that, you'll be right at home! If you don't, that's cool - Yarn's syntax is extremely minimal, and there's not much there to learn.

Getting Started

This repo contains the source code for the Wol compiler. If you want to use it in a game engine other than Godot, you should get the appropriate package for your game engine.

• ~Download Wol in Godot's AssetLib~ (not available yet)
• Yarn Spinner for Unity (2018.4 LTS or later)

Once you've downloaded it, head over to the ~tutorial~! (Currently under construction)

Roadmap

There are few things that need to be ironed out to be 100% feature compatible with the original YarnSpinner.

• Integration with Godot's translation/localization system.
• Full support for format functions.
• In-editor dialogue editor with preview.
• Porting to usable signals in Godot.
• Providing helpful errors when failing to compile.

License

Wol is available under the MIT License. This means that you can use it in any commercial or noncommercial project. The only requirement is that you need to include attribution in your game's docs. A credit would be very, very nice, too, but isn't required. If you'd like to know more about what this license lets you do, tldrlegal.com have a very nice write up about the MIT license that you might find useful.
