- 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!
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!
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.
What the hell, is he actually doing the SIGNALIS visual novel?
I wish to be such energetic towards creation as you.
yes yes i am, As well if this and other videos are popular a King in Yellow VN
@@Cristiferbeast King in Yellow VN? If it doesn't make the player go insane then i'm not playing it.
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!
I currently haven’t had the chance to try Godoy 4, but I’ll prob make a part two of this tutorial for covering badges and exporting!
@@Cristiferbeast Yes Please add badges for doing certain activites for the visual novel and how to get the program in to Steam
You explained things so well.
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!
I can't wait for the moment when you publish the VN you were working on yesterday it looks pretty nice : )
Tis Soon!
Very well explained, easy to understand explanations! Already got some ideas for a game...
Thanks for the info and the inspo! :D
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?
I may make future tutorials if I figure out any tricks (currently at the moment I haven’t switched from 1->2)
There may be a way to modify the UI however I don’t know of any, if I learn of any I’ll let you know!
my guy waited for nanoreno 2023 just to upload this vid
Dialogic is the perfect plugin I need for my dream game project a 3d super robot visual novel hybrid.
Thank you! Great step-by-step tutorial.
The Nation thanks you for your service 07
Can't wait for Dialogic 2 stable.
I tried loading this into Godot 4.0 but there are a lot of errors. I fixed many of them just by replacing "tool" with "@tool" but some are a lot harder to fix for someone who is new to gdscript like me.
So i'm pretty sure that Dialogic has a different build that is custom built for the new version! It should be on their github page.
you need dialogic2 for the new godot 4.0 release
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.
No question is stupid, but sadly I'm not an expert in that regard so I don't know, tmk it can make cutscenes but how to do that idk
Okay no worries, thank you for the help! Knowing it can be done helps a lot and I will just have to have fun and play around with it.
oh hell yeah, thankyou
How do I make dialogic keep running while the game is paused? I've been to all dialogic scenes and put it in the process always option and it didn't work, it kept pausing.
Thank you! Does anyone know how to stop the music to change timeline so that the music of the other timeline doesn't play with the previous one?
Did you ever release the Signalis VN? I'll play that in a heartbeat
Very Soon!
Oh I wanna know how to combine this with 2D skeletal animations!
Can we also integrate a 2D game and visual novel with Dialogic?
hello, very nice tutorial and a very helpful plugin! especially since i'm an artist and game designer who can't code a line to save my life
however, i encountered many issues:
1. sometimes when i edit characters, my edit would just disappear when i move on to other things (other characters/timelines/theme etc)
2. i can't undo/redo anything, i mean anything
3. same thing with save/load. the project autosaves seemingly, and likewise i can't load to my previous save file if let's say i made a mistake or something
am i doing anything wrong? or is this a known issue for godot/dialogic? i'm using godot 3.5.1 and dialogic 1.5 btw
i don't understand how to customize the UI, and at 7:07 just cut to unknown window in the video.. how to change ?
does it works well in mobile phone versions? can I control how the player chooses he's options?
Please help me, I downloaded it and set it up as you said. However I don't have access to the menu on the left.
I can't access characters etc.
What can I do to fix this?
Great video!
Do you think it's possible to make a message box with the same behavior and look as in Disco Elysium?
Very likely using themes!
the plugin isn't there
could u re-upload it
please and thank you
github.com/dialogic-godot/dialogic This should have the newest version! Apologies
I'm have no background in coding and very little experience with dialogic, but for my game I want to have a buddy system where dialogue changes based on who the player selects as their partner. Can that be done through dialogic or will that require coding for the game to remember who the player has picked as their partner?
So im not very good at GoDot and how it works, so sadly i dont have an answer for this
It's not showing up in plugins...
Edit: I got it to show up, but now it says "Unable to load addon script from path: 'res://addons/dialogic/plugin.gd'. This might be due to a code error in that script.
Disabling the addon at 'res://addons/dialogic/plugin.cfg' to prevent further errors."
yeah and nobody else having this issue or bringing it up.. typical game dev bullcrap. You follow the tutorial but the plugins get updated than nothing works. :/
I managed to get by this by using dreams godot version. However, godot was still acting funny claiming the .gd files couldn't be parsed. However I was able to enable and make visual novels. The video is good. But you will deal with typical game dev bs. For example, making new characters seems to be more of a hassle than what it's worth.
Don't worry, It hasn't been updated in two years. It's not your fault, at least you found out sooner. That's why I hate tutorial that shill plugins. It's always some programmers passion project, and they just move on.
Better served by just finding out how to everything manually. Which isn't that hard really. plenty of tutorials on that. You just gotta exit out as quickly as you here "Download this plugin".
Ya salio la version 2.0!¡
And how to make the environment interactive? I mean, I want the players to move around by clicking or fast-traveling within a house, for exaple
hey do you know how to make a text history like in all novels? theres nothing about it in the dialogic 2 documentation
What about the code part?
I don't see how to do this in V2 is this an older version?>
There is commands in Dialogic that handle it.
There is no necessary code on your half only there Dialogic Commands
Is it possible to use this add on as a cut scence or it forces the entire to be visual novel only
Tmk you can use this to add cutscenes though I'm not sure how
@@Cristiferbeast thanks for the fast reply!!!
can you publish these games? if so can you make a video on how so others can play aswell? it would help me alot
i don't have the Dialogic what do i do ?
Dialogic is free to install and use! So you can install it
Can we add scenes in betweeen ?
Like non Cutscene gameplay? Or different cutscenes between.
In both cases yes you can
Is there a way to set it up where the player can change the characters name?
Im guessing that it can be done using the Nicknames feature, but sadly im not too sure how it works
how can i import this to andoid ? İ want to make visual novel game but you know i can't use mouse click in android.
great video! I want to connect a minigame in my VN, how can I do it?
When will this novel be complete?
The novel I’m making already has a public beta! It’s linked in my video where I show it off (my newest upload)
This would've been a bit more useful if you actually recorded your footage instead of showing screenshot
Can we add deep/machine learning in the dialogue? Like neural network model (that has trained with dataset of character stat and what ending it will get) to determines which endingcharacter will get based on the stats they collect?
Possibly, but im not an expert in GDScript and how it works so sadly i wouldn't know how
I am sorry, I just have this controllable urge to point out all AI image every time I randomly see one. The woman with helmet on the left is AI, while the right is made by imperfect artist(s). The left woman has a strange orange stain near her right eyes, and the AI seems to confuse the ear and hair, and AI can't seem to decide if the 3 grey dots on the bottom of her helmet is concave or convex, and it looks like she has 2 pairs of eyebrows.
Woman on the right is a made by human artist who stressed too much drawing eyelashes and the detail on the ear auricle., then wrap everything up with a very nice shading and texture. I do hope the shading/texturing part isn't AI, but if it is so, the woman on the right still count as human creation, AI assist or not.
I am sorry, I am learning how to make a game of my own, but I got distracted by the thumbnails already.
