Hey I've been wondering what you all use to create and manage dialogue trees for your games. I've come across many tools for the different engines. Most fall in the low-code node-graph category that I find frustrating and finnicky to work with. I never got the hang of the different plugins for Godot, and it's tiring to just spam and duplicate if statements in huge globs.

I made a C# package to let me map out dialogue trees and shoot events all in neat little yaml files that live happily in version control. It was made abstract to work for MUDs and text adventures, but I recently started using it in my Godot games and it works pretty well.

I don't believe I'm the only one that prefers to work this way. I am curious about what you all use for branching dialogue mechanics, reacting to events during dialogue, SFX etc.

Do you like the plugins? Do you have bottomless branches of flow control? Let me know!
