Features for Everyone
See the Features →"Yarn Spinner is an essential tool for writing dialogue. Having access to customizable functions, variables, branching dialogue, and much more empowered our writers and programmers to create sophisticated dialogue sequences and cutscenes."
"Yarn Spinner has saved me so much time and made dialogue a breeze to add to my games!"
"Yarn Spinner is a core part of our dialogue workflow... it is easy to localise, and it lets us trigger a wide range of game systems directly from dialogue. Its easy-to-read format helps us iterate quickly and keep everything manageable as a small team."
"Yarn Spinner transforms interactive storytelling from a chore to a joy, using a system that supports choice in narrative and makes managing those plot threads intuitive and clear. Without the right tools to support their writing, interactive stories can quickly become unwieldy and opaque - but even in its early days, Yarn Spinner is already distinguishing itself as The Right Tool."
"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!"
"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."
