Quillscript Plugin, formerly known as Snowfall, is an Unreal Engine code plugin. It controls the story and narrative flow for RPGs, visual novels, and other story-driven games. Including player choices, story branching, conditions, code integration, and much more. All of that is done through an easy-to-use screenplay-style scripting language.

For Writers

For Artists

UI designers can easily create their own Dialog Boxes and Selection Boxes widgets using UMG full power.

For Programmers

Programmers can run their own custom code within script, either Blueprint or C++.

Quillscript Language

Using a simple set of story writing rules, which includes essential functionalities, like variables, conditions, choices, branching, and code execution; game developers, have a powerful yet straightforward markup language to work with, made with game writers in mind.

A scripting-based dialogue has many advantages over other common dialogue systems like spreadsheets, graphs, and data assets. Scripts are plain-text files, this mean they are sequential structures, simpler to review, edit, follow, and track, just as they are source control friendly.
