What developers say
"Yarn Spinner is easy to set up and wonderfully extensible. Our team of writers and developers have been truly empowered to build with freedom."
"BIG STRETCH use Yarn Spinner for all of the game's dialogue: ‘active’ RPG-style conversations, ‘passive’ dialogue that happens while the player moves around, and cinematic dialogue. I've had a blast working with Yarn Spinner throughout development, and I can't recommend it enough! Amazing documentation, community, and functionality all around. It's incredibly easy to adapt it to your project's and personal needs!"
"Yarn Spinner strikes a rare balance: it's incredibly powerful without being over-opinionated. Because it can run entirely headless, we can wrap what is happening under the hood with visuals that perfectly match our game, and it avoids the systemic baggage common in dialogue tools, refusing to take on non-dialogue responsibilities. It does the job of being a dialogue system heckin' well, and then steps out of the way so our game can be itself."
"Yarn Spinner was tremendously helpful in managing the massive 350,000-word tome that is Ledgerbound. I don't know what we would've done without it. We use Yarn Spinner for everything! Dialogue, branching, VO, you name it! Our narrative team lives and breathes Yarn Spinner."
"We thought to ourselves, "someone must have surely solved dialogues in games by now" and we were right. Yarn Spinner was everything we needed!"
"Yarn Spinner was crucial during the development of Night in the Woods. It was simple to understand and work with, and it's exciting to see how its functionality has been expanded over the years and how useful it's been to other teams!"
