Check out this amazing overhaul of the dialog system of Solarus: https://www.solarus-games.org/en/development/resource-packs/visual-novel-system
Kudos to the authors!

The engine and editor remain GPL. Only the logo changes its license.

With the agreement of its authors, the Solarus logo (code, resources) is now MIT/CC-BY, so you can use it in a closed-source Solarus quest.
