Q: So it's about adding a refined writing and dialogue system to the engine?
A: Yes, and more - nodes, objects and funcs to make easy to provide mechanics like in point&click and rpgs.Q: As a scenarist, what would I gain from using Rakugo over Ren'Py or Twine ?
A: It is made as godot addon - you can use all godot features. You can make your game 2d, 2.5d or 3d - you can only 2d in Ren'Py. You can easy add minigames or mix it with other game genre. It will have mechanics for point&click games and rpgs - Ren'Py and Twine are only for vn. This project's dialog functions can do more than Ren'Py equivalents.Q: How does the project interact with the engine ?
A: For now this project is a singleton and a collection of special nodes. There is also gui include in example project that is connected with the project and has all functions like in a Ren'Py game.Q: Is it easy to use ?
A: For now it is not that easy as I want it to be, but I am working to make it use RakuScript (this project's own language) and visual script.If you want to help please write to us on our Discord.
