NodeFlow Dialogue | Game Creator 2

NodeFlow Dialogue - Visual Dialogue Graph Editor for Dialogue 2

NodeFlow Dialogue adds a visual node graph editor for creating and organizing dialogues inside Dialogue 2 for Game Creator 2.

The default Dialogue 2 editor uses a list and tree-based workflow that works well for smaller conversations, but as dialogue systems become larger, more branching, and interconnected, it can quickly become difficult to follow the overall story flow and structure.

You often end up spending more time navigating nested lists and tracing connections manually than actually writing dialogue.

NodeFlow solves that by turning dialogues into a visual graph workflow where conversations, choices, random branches, and story jumps are easier to organize, navigate, and understand at a glance.

Designed to feel familiar to anyone who has used node-based editors before, NodeFlow focuses on usability, organization, and workflow speed while still remaining highly customizable and lightweight.

Visual Dialogue Workflow

Create and manage dialogues visually using connected nodes instead of nested list structures.

• Visual dialogue flow and branching
• Easier overview of story structure
• Better readability for larger conversations
• Organize dialogue visually instead of mentally tracking tree hierarchies

Dialogue Nodes

Create different dialogue node types directly inside the graph editor.

• Text Nodes for dialogue and narration
• Choice Nodes for branching conversations
• Random Nodes for randomized dialogue flow

Nodes can be connected visually to create complex dialogue structures while keeping the graph readable and easy to follow.

Dialogue Story Flow

Dialogue nodes display how the story continues after the current node finishes.

Flow types:

• Continue
• Exit
• Jump

Tagged nodes are displayed directly inside node headers, making important story points easier to identify and navigate.

When selecting nodes with Jump flow:

• Preview lines visualize jump connections
• Clicking the jump label automatically focuses the target node
• Tagged story flow becomes easier to track visually

Search Field

Search through all node titles and dialogue content inside the currently opened graph.

When a match is found:

• The graph automatically focuses on the matching node
• Matching text inside the node is highlighted
• Matching nodes are highlighted inside the minimap

If multiple matches exist, you can cycle through all results directly from the toolbar.

Useful when navigating larger dialogue systems or branching story paths.

Sticky Notes

Create Sticky Notes directly inside the graph to leave comments, reminders, or organization notes.

Useful for:

• Story planning
• Dialogue notes
• Writer comments

Minimap

The minimap provides an overview of the entire graph and updates automatically as nodes are added and connected.

• View the full dialogue structure at a glance
• Quickly navigate through the graph
• Selected nodes highlighted in blue
• Search matches highlighted in yellow

Clicking inside the minimap instantly moves the graph view to that location.

Layout & Organization Tools

NodeFlow includes tools to help keep graphs readable and organized.

Automatic Layouts

Arrange nodes automatically in different directions:

• Top Down
• Left
• Right

Layout operations can be applied to single or multiple selected nodes.

Snapping Guidelines

While moving nodes, alignment guides automatically appear to help organize nodes neatly.

Node Themes

Assign different color themes to nodes to visually separate dialogue sections, story beats, or conversation types.

Graph Navigation

Navigate through graphs using familiar controls.

Navigation Controls

• Middle Mouse drag to pan
• Alt + Left Mouse drag to pan
• Mouse wheel zoom
• Home button to reset graph position

Node Selection

• Single selection
• Multi-selection
• Box selection
• Ctrl multi-select
• Ctrl + A select all

Node Editing

• Add connected subnodes
• Delete nodes
• Context menu actions
• Link and unlink nodes
• Rearrange dialogue flow
• Tag dialogue nodes
