Optimal Way to do Branching Cutscenes and Eventd

[novel scarab]

My next step in creating my engine is to create a cutscene / event system that branches. And I am wondering what the best way would be to do it.

This si how I did it for my last 2 releases and my upcoming game as well https://www.tumblr.com/wandersong/157399673043/howto-branching-cutscenes-in-wandersong

☝️ that works too, although I think that's more for defining/parsing the story data and not necessarily for implementing the cutscene sequencing in game?

I've never used it but regardless that library would definitely help you solve at least part of the problem.

You can get creative with it.

The general use case is that you get a dialogue text, and some options.

You can map a scene to that dialogue text, and play the scene instead of showing the text.
