Absolutly give Ink a shot, I love playing around with it, it really is something you experiment with more than learn I find. I also found the JavaScript and HTML it exports as easy to edit and implement my atmosphere changes. In regards to your comments:
- Yeah, I keep forgetting that I can glue text together, to give it the effect you describe. The editor I use, Inky, ignores them for testing purposes.
- Thanks for the writing feedback! I should have given this for someone to proofread, because I miss small things like the multiple words.
- Hmm, playing through it, I assume you mean the first time it changes. I can see why it looks confusing, it really should display more than one choice, or display some new text. Like I said, I mainly just edited the code that the story exported as, so maybe I could make the colour changes take longer, then have the story "pause" until the transition is done. Looks like I need to talk to my arch enemy. CSS, again...
Thanks again for all the feedback!
