Dialogue Designer

WIP - Dialogue Designer: Free to use tool for all. 

I am a game design instructor working with students of all ages. This tool was designed with my students in mind, and as I'm building it, I have noticed there are not very many tools for free for the public, so I am sharing my work-in-progress version!
