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.
- How to start making video games?
- Text adventure ported to social media
- Free websites for writing branching plot lines?

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.

Ink: React for interactive command-line apps
"Ink" and "interactive" in the same sentence has a strong association in my mind for Inkle's Ink [1]

Dialogue System Implementations
I looked into other solutions, but haven't tested them yet: (Ink)[https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/] (Yarn)[https://yarnspinner.dev/]

Building a visual programming language in Unity
For the former try https://github.com/Siccity/xNode

making a captcha but also it's an RPG (in progress, devlog in comments)
There's also XNode which is an open-source node-based framework for manufacturing systems in unity which I quite like, but the learning curve is a bit steep. There's no real documentation per se, but there's plenty of tutorials on youtube (incl. mine, plug plug plug) so it is possible to pick up once you've got over the foibles of how it works.

Anyone interested in a Graph Node tool?
For the underlying framework are you using https://github.com/alelievr/NodeGraphProcessor or https://github.com/Siccity/xNode ? (and if not - how why did you choose to roll your own? )

How do you create your branching dialogue paths?
Xnode
- I want to try my hand at making a simple Visual Scripting asset for the Unity Editor. What exactly is a "node"? I would like my node object to stretch so it can't be a sprite.
-
Is there an asset that adds visual scripting to an in-game level editor (for VR)?
I’ve just finished implementing something sort of like that, and xNode provides node functionality that I found really useful.
