StoryDev, a project that has been mostly a scripting engine, has now got its own editor, meaning you can now design and develop video games with comprehensive story editing tools.
The features include:
- Ability to manage data for interactive stories, saved as JSON files which can be used in other projects.
- Create and manage conversations using an interactive semi-linear approach to story design.
- Write your stories using simple syntax. The project sd2 can be used to parse your stories with the Haxe programming language.
- Create and design maps for a visual aid to managing your story, as well as being a method for designing and creating Places and Sections.
- Simulation options to allow debugging of your conversations – know at any point in your story what your Best and Worst outcomes will be.
Official documentation has not been produced, but you can use the Twinspire StoryDev category on our website as a reference for understanding how the project has developed and how to use all of the features.
Note that this software is in Beta and some features may appear not to work as expected or some buttons may just not do anything at all.
I am happy to receive feedback on existing features.
You can browse and download the current project over on GitHub.
