Dialogue Manager

What Dialogue Manager is

Dialogue Manager is a free, open-source branching dialogue editor and runtime addon for Godot games. It lets writers author dialogue in a script-like format inside the Godot Editor, with support for projects written in GDScript or C#. The addon checks syntax and reports errors, and includes an overridable test scene for trying conversations. DialogueLabel handles timed pauses and text-speed changes, while DialogueResponsesMenu presents player choices. A debugger shows available state and dialogue history. The runtime is stateless, leaving the game responsible for dialogue state and for deciding how conversations look; the headless design fits projects that want their own presentation. Text supports wave and shake BBCode effects. Dialogue and response prompts use Godot’s translation function by default, with CSV and PO workflows documented. It can be installed from the Godot Asset Store or GitHub, and is MIT-licensed. The current Asset Store listing requires Godot 4.6 or newer.
