Chronicle was created for my other project Edith to allow both me and another person to
write complex conversations between characters in-game easily, without touching code and without learning Unity.
The program is a full workspace for designing conversations for entire projects, and allows for branches according
to certain conditions related to game save data and user input. In fact, the tool itself is used alongside the Unity
game as it allows us to have a central hub for managing game characters, dialogues and save data keys. Chronicle's
files can be imported into Unity using it's scripted importer
feature.
It was a great exercise in making a user interface that was intuitive and easy to use for non-programmers, it was
complimented on its ease of use and how quick it is to immediately get started writing dialogues with new or existing
characters.
It uses Tauri to render the HTML, JS and CSS as a desktop app, and Supabase
to allow users to publish dialogues either publicly or privately to selected users.
Chronicle has since been superseded by Constellation.
