Rakugo is framework (inspired by Ren'Py) for story driven games in Godot or like my friend call it Story Management Plugin.
The idea is to have a ready to use plug-in for stories, so developers can create narrative driven games with all the amazing features and tools of Godot 3.1+.
Now you can support this project by buing it on itch.io.
You can download 2.0 for Godot 3.1 here.
Games using Rakugo v 0.9.x :
If your game uses Rakugo write to me on Discord.
It means games that are for example:
- Visual Novels
- Click & Point Adventures
- RPG
You can use it with:
- GDScript
- RakugoScript (ToDo)
- VisualScript (ToDo)
Q: So it's about adding a refined writing and dialogue system to the engine?
A: Yes, and more - nodes, objects and funcs to make easy to provide mechanics like in point&click and rpgs.Q: As a scenarist, what would I gain from using Rakugo over Ren'Py or Twine ?
A: It is made as godot addon - you can use all godot features. You can make your game 2d, 2.5d or 3d - you can only 2d in Ren'Py. You can easy add minigames or mix it with other game genre. It will have mechanics for point&click games and rpgs - Ren'Py and Twine are only for vn. This project's dialog functions can do more than Ren'Py's equivalents.Q: How does the framework interact with the engine ?
A: For now this framework is a singleton and a collection of special nodes. There is also gui include in example project that is connected with the framework and has all functions like in a Ren'Py game.Q: Is it easy to use ?
A: For now it is not that easy as I want it to be, but I am working to make it use RakugoScript (this framework's own language) and visual script.If you want to help please write to us on our Discord.
