About this asset

The package contains the free Metaviz diagram tool, which you open locally as a normal html file in the browser.

NOTE: only Chrome, Opera, Edge and Firefox are supported at the moment as Metaviz require the use of Native Filesystem API.

You can write your thoughts on a board, design a scenario, or (I especially encourage you to) create in JavaScript your own nodes that will serve as a visual script for your game. This greatly improves the team's workflow.

As an example of custom nodes, a demo of a romantic visual novel is included in the package with nodes for creating a dialog tree.

The diagram data is stored in a file in a version control (e.g. git) friendly format, so you put the xml file in your repository along with the project.

When the game is launched - the xml file is read from Resources by the attached C# Unity plugin.

Quick start:

How to modify dialogues scene: Demo/VisualNovel/Scenes/School_Garden_01.unity

1. Open Assets/Metaviz/metaviz.html in your browser.

2. Right Mouse Button -> Open File... -> Demo/VisualNovel/Resources/dialogues.xml

3. Modify something.

4. Right Mouse Button -> Save.

5. Push Play game button in Unity.
