Free Godot Project: JSON Dialogue System with Top-Down RPG Example (Eggcat and Bird)

Overview

Eggcat and Bird walks through an example project of their dialogue system in Godot, working in a top-down style RPG, and shares the source code under the MIT license. Dialog supports branching and conditional choices, and actions such as screen shake or inventory changes and signals are executed from a single .json file.

Styles can change per speaker, a separate voices database gives typewriter-style sounds, and character icons are animated, with BBCode rich text and full keyboard navigation. The GitHub repository has a copy_this template project and a src example game, and it is a free download.
