Start designing stories visually.StoryFlow Editor is a visual node-based narrative design tool for creating branching dialogue systems, interactive stories, and complex game narratives. Built with a Blueprint-style visual scripting interface familiar to Unreal Engine developers - no coding required.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4088380/extras/133a2ea5f34b6d8982c9c08ff4684d67.avif?t=1772318255" width=824 height=200 />Connect dialogue nodes. Create branching choices. Add conditional logic. See your entire story structure at a glance. Test any path instantly without leaving the editor.56 Node Types for complete narrative control:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Dialogue &amp; Flow: Dialogue nodes with images and audio, branching choices, script jumping</li><li>Variables: Booleans, integers, floats, and strings with full get/set operations</li><li>Logic Gates: AND, OR, NOT, comparisons, random selection</li><li>Math Operations: Plus, minus, multiply, divide for dynamic values</li><li>String Tools: Concatenate, contains, length, case conversion</li><li>Characters: Character system with custom variables per character</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >VISUAL STORYTELLING MADE SIMPLE</h2>Design narratives the way you think about them: visually. Every story element - dialogue, choices, conditions, variables - connects through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.See the Big Picture: Your entire narrative structure displayed as an interactive graph. Instantly spot dead ends, identify logic errors, and understand complex branching at a glance.No Code Required: Writers, narrative designers, and solo developers can build sophisticated dialogue systems without programming. Connect nodes, set conditions, and your story logic works.<h2 class="bb_tag" >POWERFUL VARIABLE SYSTEM</h2>Track player choices, manage game state, and create reactive narratives with a complete variable system:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>4 Variable Types: Booleans, integers, floats, and strings</li><li>Global &amp; Local Scope: Variables that persist across scripts or stay contained</li><li>Categories &amp; Organization: Group variables logically, search instantly, drag to reorder</li><li>Conditional Dialogue Options: Show or hide choices based on any variable condition</li></ul>Build systems for: relationship tracking, inventory management, quest progress, dialogue flags, numerical stats, and more.<h2 class="bb_tag" >CHARACTER SYSTEM</h2>Create and manage characters directly in your project:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Define characters with names and custom variables</li><li>Attach characters to dialogue nodes</li><li>Read character data dynamically with Get Character Variable nodes</li><li>Character data exports cleanly to JSON for game engine integration</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >FULL AUDIO SUPPORT</h2>Bring your narratives to life with complete audio integration:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Import MP3 and WAV files into your project</li><li>Attach audio to dialogue nodes with in-editor preview</li><li>Loop option for background music and ambient sounds</li><li>Dedicated Play Audio node for triggered sound effects</li><li>Volume controls in the runtime player</li><li>Audio automatically included in HTML and JSON exports</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >TEST WITHOUT LEAVING THE EDITOR</h2>Runtime Debugger lets you playtest instantly:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Play from any node - jump directly to problem areas</li><li>Watch variables update in real-time as you make choices</li><li>See the call stack to understand script execution</li><li>Catch logic errors before they reach players</li></ul>No export required. No external tools needed. Click play, test your story, iterate immediately.<h2 class="bb_tag" >EXPORT OPTIONS</h2>HTML ExportCreate standalone interactive web experiences that run in any browser:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>All dialogue, logic, variables, images, and audio packaged together</li><li>Share with anyone, publish on itch.io, embed in your portfolio</li><li>Perfect for prototypes, demos, and complete visual novel experiences</li></ul>JSON ExportFull data export for game engine integration:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Clean, readable JSON maintaining your folder structure</li><li>Complete story data: nodes, connections, variables, characters, audio references</li><li>Ready for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, or custom engines</li><li>Official engine plugins in active development</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >DESKTOP-FIRST DESIGN</h2>100% Offline — Your data stays on your machine. No cloud dependency. No subscription. No account required.Git-Friendly — Text-based .sfe script files work seamlessly with version control. Track changes, branch, merge, collaborate with your team.Fast Performance — Native desktop application handles complex projects with hundreds of nodes smoothly.
