StoryFlow Editor Documentation
Welcome to the StoryFlow Editor documentation. StoryFlow Editor is a powerful visual node editor for creating interactive stories, visual novels, and dialogue systems - no coding required.
What is StoryFlow Editor?
StoryFlow Editor is a desktop application that lets you build branching narratives using a visual scripting system. Connect nodes together to create dialogue trees, conditional logic, and complex story flows - perfect for game developers, writers, and interactive fiction creators.
- Visual Node-Based Editing: Drag and drop nodes to build your story visually
- 80+ Node Types: Dialogue, branching logic, variables, arrays, enums, flows, and more
- Rich Variables System: Primitive types (boolean, integer, float, string), enums, arrays, and asset references
- Flows: Create reusable subflows within scripts for better organization
- Built-in Testing: Play and test your stories right in the editor
- Multiple Export Options: HTML (shareable interactive stories) and JSON (engine integration)
Get up and running in 5 minutes. Create your first interactive story and learn the basics of the visual scripting system.
