Updated: Inkle Writer added - Deus Ex resources

All relevant resources about game writing will be added here. Feel free to share your own by commenting this post.

I hope we'll come with a nice wiki in the end.

Branching/Interactive Fiction/Game engines:

• Story Nexus: Created by the Failbetter Games studio. Start your own interactive world online. It's free, you just need to register an account. The 'tile system' can look a bit tricky at first, but in fine in can be very powerful. It's good for branching stories combined with RPG features. The studio recently made Sunless Sea

• Twine: The easiest way to create an interactive story - HTML/CSS based but no knowledge in coding required - with a strong and helping community. The tree branching interface is super nice and you can publish anything anytime for free online using Philome.la

• Inkle Writer: Super easy and visually nice engine for text-based games with branchings. It's free. The studio behind it is Inkle Studios, which made the acclaimed 80 Days

• Inform 7: Also super famous and free, it's great if you want to create 'old school' IF - where players can type action verbs and such. Not super easy to use at first but looks quite powerful.

  Walk up at leisurely pace relaxing every 5 to 10 minutes. Don't park vehicles in road sides Do not park your vehicles in road sides. Rushing up the hill might cause Chest pain, High Blood pressure, Cardiac problems etc. It will cause heavy traffic bottle neck from Nilakkal to Pampa Prasadam Coupon Ayyappa devotees visiting Sabarimala during the festival season of Mandala Pooja and Makara Jyoti, can collect prasadam coupons from Dhanalakshmi Bank before starting the journey. Be cautious while ascending and descending hills to prevent slipping and avoid short cuts.

• Chat Mapper: A pro tool for branching stories. You have different licenses (from Hobbyist to commercial). Can export in XML and such.

• articy:draft 2: Looks like great for game design documents and collaborative writing. But ouch, a bit expensive.

• Undum: Very nice looking and flexible tool for IF, but do require a bit of coding.

• Vorple: advanced features for Undum and Inform 7

• RenPy: Python based. If you want to create a visual novel or any text-based game with graphics, it's super easy to use. It can be quite restrictive if you know nothing about Python and how RenPy is using it though, and some reviews are not very good.

• Novelty: A WYSIWYG engine for Visual Novels and 2D games. Looks nice!

• RPG Maker: Quite a famous and easy to handle engine for RPGs.

• yEd: Mind Mapping and diagrams. It's free!

Text tools for Unity 3D:

• Dialoguer: Node-based dialogue creator for Unity. Not very expensive and looks quite efficient.

• Fungus: An open-source Unity 3D library for interactive fiction games. Inspired by Twine. Entirely free! Looks awesome.
