"Ticket to Europe" - a game we've made in Godot, raising awareness of the refugee crisis in Europe, has been just approved on Steam. I'm curious, what do you think!
Did you use ink (via godot-ink or similar) to author the visual novel? Or some other interactive fiction tool? Or something entirely custom?

What should I learn if I want to develop a barebone political sim?
I would say something like Inkle's Ink could do this easily, though it can be overwhelming to look at from the start. There are a couple of Godot integrations with Ink, both a C# one here and a pure GDScript one (though they warn it might be slow on large games). InkGD has a couple examples that use simpler Ink stories, so you might just look through that for the examples to start.
