A simple MUD server in Python which can be run on a Raspberry Pi
That's awesome, thanks!
I am aware of Inform 7, I think it is awesome. A few months ago I made a quick demo using Inklescript[1], which I found simpler and more suitable to my project (a Star Trek adventure). Inform 7 remains something I wish to explore in the future when I need something more complex.
Thanks! ;)

About Text based games,basically
As others have said, Twine is really a great starting point for text or choice-based games. If you'd like to get into the weeds a little more, I'd also shout out Ink, which is incredibly flexible and really fun imo, altho it def requires a bit more coding experience.

- Text adventure ported to social media
- Free websites for writing branching plot lines?

Any other devs that have / are making choose your own adventures?
On the technology side, you might want to check out Inkle: https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/

How to get into narrative design with no coding/programming experience?
Start writing in ink or twine.

Narrative Game Design
Otherwise, Inkle is also quite good. (and people have made players for it in Unreal and Unity, so it's not hard to attach to existing game projects.) I don't think it has the nifty visual flowchart though, if that's a piece you care about.

Are there any tools for designing the story of a dating sim?
I really like Ink. The developers made tons of games with it like the Sorcery! series, so it has a good foundation, and it's quite easy to write and organize, more than twine in my opinion.

Help me organize inkJam 2023
Like every year, I'm organizing inkJam: a narrative oriented gamejam around the ink language. You can find last year's edition on itch.io

What's the Godot way to structuring the communication with the GUI?
For some context, I'm an experienced (~10 years) programmer starting to dabble in game development. I'm learning to build various systems to gain experience and understanding, and recently I was interested in developing a dialogue system with an editor similar to what Dialogic provides.

- I'm trying to set up a custom player name to dialogic. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here is my set up and what it's doing.

Do you know when you play Undertale and one dialogue have 2 or more options to choose? How do i make that(Godot 3.5)?
Use something like Dialogic or (personal recommendation) Dialog Manager.
- Changing the theme doesn't work in dialogic, what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Dialogic - 1.4.5 in Godot 3

Steel Clad Flesh Devlog #4: Power-ups, cut-scenes, finishing up with level 1, sneak peak at the first boss, and more!
I used a Godot plugin called "Dialogic" to create it, still working on the themes and assets, so most changes made are cosmetic.

How to make a basic branching dialogue system?
There are two great dialogue systems available for Godot, Godot Dialogue Manager, which is geared more towards writing things in a script, and Dialogic with a nice user interface, that is more artist-friendly (though direct script editing is also available). It also has more features (at least in the new version, which is currently under development for the upcoming Godot 4 and might not be suitable for production).

Godot 4 Beta 17: Can't enable plugins
Here you go. You should try RC3 with this. https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic/commits/main
-
Dialogic or Dialogue Manager?
Dialogic 2.0 is supposed to be Godot 4 ready (according to github https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic)
