Linking TyranoBuilder and Unity?

[ShaneWSmith]

I'm looking at the way forward for my project(s), and to be honest, I'm not sure TyranoBuilder on its own has everything I need.

My wishlist of features, things that I think are absolutely mandatory in a professional end-product, would include:

* Dynamic resolution adjustment/window size
* More export options for distribution

At the moment, I'm running a Windows machine, and so can only export to Windows and browser formats (and possibly mobile too). Ultimately, though, I'd like to get a VN onto (for example) the PSN store, or the Wii eShop.

TyranoBuilder on its own obviously doesn't work with those formats.
But Unity does.

Is there any way to export a TB project to Unity? Any plans afoot for a kind of bridge program that could be created? Or maybe even perhaps re-brand TB as a Unity plugin?

I really like the TyranoBuilder interface - it makes the design and development process so easy - and I'd really like to keep using it if I can. It's just the back-end of the process that I feel is lacking a little bit.

Any advice/feedback/information would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Shane,

I am not currently aware of bridges for you to do the cross-over but I will look into it for you as for the features those two elements are things we are looking into for the future.

Thanks, jay! I appreciate it.

While it's not related to TyranoBuilder, Fungus is probably your best bet if you want to go the route of VN via Unity. It also uses a Visual Scripting style like TyranoBuilder. There's also Dialogue Engine for Unity that can pull from Twine, Chat Mapper, and Articy:Draft. Dialogue Engine needs a front-end.

There's currently no means to transfer from the type of information stored in TyranoScript into anything else. Though I'd imagine with Notepad++ you can try to change it into something that you can parse with RenPy.
