Features for Everyone
See the Features →"Yarn Spinner is easy to set up and wonderfully extensible. Our team of writers and developers have been truly empowered to build with freedom."
"We started with our home-made narrative system which quickly became unwieldy and - after spending a significant time evaluating solutions - are very happy with Yarn Spinner's text-based workflow now."
"Yarn Spinner enables our team to develop branching scenes quickly and without significant tech overhead. It's a really lovely tool to work with!"
"Yarn Spinner has been instrumental in setting up dialogue, branching context, and cut scenes. I'm super grateful for its simplicity and ease of use."
"For our first game, we made our own dialogue system... but quickly realized we would have avoided many headaches if we had used Yarn Spinner from the start. YS enabled us to create dozens of cutscenes, dialogue and interactions in Bubblegum Galaxy in a format that was both easy for writers to write and programmers to extended."
"We feed our script through [Yarn Spinner] and it spits out magic. It's given us a lot of flexibility and options with respect to how we present images, video, and audio, and it's made scripting understandable for someone who is most definitely not a coder."
