How to Make A Custom Visual Novel (w Godot and Dialogic)

If you are like me, you sometimes ask yourself, is it possible to make a strange dating sim without dumping hours upon hours of time and learning a brand new complex software?
Well luckily for us both the answer is apparently yes.
Today I will be covering how to make your own dating sims using Godot Engine and Dialogic both of which are free, so with no more delay lets get right into this.

I'm not a guy that knows how to code stuff, but I'm happy to know that now I have the option to create interactive abominations if I want to, really cool and easy to understand.

I was planning to do a visual novel with Unity, but with the current events... not a chance.
I'll give a chance to godot and I'm looking around for resources. I can't believe this addon is free. This is amazing. Thank you so much for this video!

[matyasborecky]

Really amazing that there is even an option to change font and style of dialogue boxes, I was worried a bit until I saw this feature, thanks for making this tutorial!

[BernieVtuber]

Holy shit, why is this more complex and also better than so many other visual novel engines that use VISUAL coding

[izperehoda]

What the hell, is he actually doing the SIGNALIS visual novel?
I wish to be such energetic towards creation as you.

Thanks for the info! I always wanted to make somewhat of a mix between Visual novel and RPG (kinda like old solo-adventure books) but was struggling to find proper tools to make that happen, as most visual novel engines aren't made for mixing them with RPG mechanics. <3

Thanks for the info, man! For the past three days I have been browsing the internet through all the visual novel engine recommendations and Ren'Py looked like the obvious only choice. But after watching your video I am not so sure anymore, this looks very good, visually and also functionally. Seriously, I don't remember anyone mentioning Dialogic with Godot, or if it was mentioned in some posts, it definitely didn't have the upvotes for me to notice.

[robfrydryck]

That was amazing! Please update with Godot4
Can you do a follow-up on how to export your visual novel to Steam?
Adding Steam badges for accomplishing things would be super awesome, too!

[crebafurros]

I just discovered your channel and I wanted to say that I'm truly amazed with your videos, you're a hidden gem, keep it up!

[themadone]

I can't wait for the moment when you publish the VN you were working on yesterday it looks pretty nice : )

[VoltitanDev]

Dialogic is good but I wished it had a quick menu to skip through dialogue especially if a visual novel is long.

[alexpaq]

Very well explained, easy to understand explanations! Already got some ideas for a game...

[VoltitanDev]

Dialogic is the perfect plugin I need for my dream game project a 3d super robot visual novel hybrid.

[Amiryllis_Thorn]

The Nation thanks you for your service 07

[spikeybiscuit]

Very cool to have this tutorial. Will you be making any more in depth tutorials? Perhaps for Godot4 with Dialogic 2?

Also, I prefer my choices to appear at the bottom within the dialogue box with a scroll option if there's lots of choices. Is there a way to modify the UI with Dialogic?

[VoltitanDev]

Can't wait for Dialogic 2 stable.

[LeniconDev]

my guy waited for nanoreno 2023 just to upload this vid

[sonofbryce]

Thank you! Great step-by-step tutorial.

[kaikeni]

Sorry if this question seems stupid but I am completely new to programming and such and have just began learning Godot. I am planning to make a visual novel which this video was helpful with introducing Dialogic but I was wondering if/how I would be able to add cutscenes to the VN? For instance like Danganronpa execution scenes.
