I really like this, it has some issues and some important additions I think will be easy enough to add.

In the following video we look at implementing it and the Godot Dialogue System

Fantastic software, extremely user friendly and ideal for your creatives / writers and authors to start knocking out scripts for the coding team. The author should be extremely proud of what they have created!

The only downside is that I'm not a big fan of the JSON output, writing a new parser for it will not be simple, there is a Godot Parser available. I've yet to try and pick it out and put it into my own framework. It is perhaps designed to be too user friendly at the expense of flexibility.

What would be fantastic would be for the editor to allow for custom fields or tags, similar to characters / variables etc. Custom fields could be associated with the various nodes and have a specific query system in the parser.

In my case I want to add custom elements like associated filenames for audio with particular nodes. I'm sure there will be more I need to add as well.

Finally, not all of us need cameras, so it would nice to make the camera follow checkbox optional (even better, make it a custom field).

Other than the above, I highly, highly recommend it and I invite the author to join me on live stream to talk about the project in more detail if he/she would like. We will certainly be looking to put it through it's paces in the next few episodes.

What an exciting find!
