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.

Is there a way to make a good game without coding?
There are other tools like that, if you're interested. Inkle (maker of 80 Days and Overboard) make another text based language called Ink, and there's an online hosting tool for making stories with it. Godot can even integrate with Ink-written stories, but it requires a bit of programming knowledge to get it to hang together
-
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.

Just released my second game on Steam, The Great Plague Exodus. Between achievements and managing multiple characters, I've learnt so much in the past 6 months since my first game released, a massive thank you to this community.
Hey, looks great! I wonder what did you use for dialogue system. Do you have any recommendations? There are many repositories for this for Godot (some just UI, some using graphs, but most are abandoned), but it's hard for me to decide. All I know is I don't want to build yet another system from scratch, just plug it into my UI. From what I have researched Ink with Inkgd (https://github.com/ephread/inkgd) seems the most maintained and robust solution. Any opinions on that?
