Hello!
I'm interested in VERGE, but before I continue with any work I need to know if the system supports a dialog tree. I tried a few games and they don't seem to have one.
Thanks for your time.

Verge 3 is more of a programming lang so yes you could easily put a dialog tree into it. There is nothing in verge that is a text box so you would have to make your own.

Thanks!
I am more than happy with your answer, since I get to build my own dialog tree. I didn't know VERGE was that flexible but then again I just started :)

I've never heard the term 'dialog tree' before. What is this?

Your ordinary dialog tree would be a common dialog where you pick your answer from a choice of presented answers and the dialog then goes on in another direction depending on your choice.
A simple example;
NPC: Hello, can I help you?
PLAYER:
a) Could you tell me about this town.
b) Could you give me some directions?
c) No, thanks. Farewell.
So, if player picks a), NPC tells him about the town. b), NPC gives him the directions, and with c) the dialog ends.

Oh, that's what you mean. That is trivial to do in Verge3, since you have full control over you own dialogue system. ;)
If you're really new to this, you might wanna check out Interference's textbox demo, since it easily supports making choices like that.

Yeah, the prefab choicebox totally can do this. You may want to make sure to test all possible combinations of the first few conversations you make, just because you're looking at a potentially large amount of nested if/elses that could be daunting to a beginner coder.
Ignore this warning if you are not a beginner. ;)
