Ink language & their IDE make it very easy to get started with choice games ! And it exports to HTML/Js where you can add further visual effects via custom JavaScript.
Highly reccomend, its so good that it takes all the fun out of designing my own janky custom system.
- 90s_dev 1y agoThanks for the recommendation, I never would have guessed someone made something like this! But of course they did. I was definitely wondering how I would do this outside of Excel, but I have so many projects going on right now that figuring this one out didn't sound fun :D
- dunham 1y agoThere is also twinery or inklewriter for simple text stories with an online authoring option. And Inform7 for full on text adventures, where you write the stories in a declarative manner as plain english. https://twinery.org https://twinery.org https://inklewriter.com https://inklewriter.com https://ganelson.github.io/inform-website/ https://ganelson.github.io/inform-website/
- spencerflem 1y agoI like squiffy as well, though its not as popular or elegant. Possibly just nostalgia. & Evennia is very cool if you want to make a multiplayer one! One of these days I'll try out Inform7 it seems so cool but haven't had an idea for a game that could use it yet
- shakna 1y agoUnfortunately Inky has a showstopping bug I and a few others have hit. [0] And it breaks the IDE until you somehow uninstall it and every dependency. And kill all its temporary files. [0] https://github.com/inkle/inky/issues/522 https://github.com/inkle/inky/issues/522
- spencerflem 1y agoAwww, rip. Hadn't hit that one while I was playing with it.
