Arrow v2 is out!
One way is to create your narrative in Arrow, then export and use it as a database for your runtime/interpreter. The official HTML-JS runtime is based on the same idea. Arrow uses this runtime to create playable exports (mainly for play-test and review). Yet it means you can use this runtime (with customization) to export text-adventures directly from the editor as well. Another way is to create multiple chapters, scenes, etc. and export them as assets for your game (e.g. each scene or branch as a dialog-tree for your RPG).

Any Tips on Good Narrative Design Software for a Nonprogrammer?
JSON is just a text file with some specific conventions to be easily readable by other programs. Though, I took a look at the Inky's JSON export, and it's kinda convoluted. In your case Arrow might be a better fit. You can also consult with your programmer, since he'll be the person implementing your dialogue in game.

Tools/Method for planning game
I use Arrow for dialogue/scene planning.
- Just a reminder! If you need to create dialogs check out Arrow! I almost like it as much as Articy Draft.

How to name the new bundle of importers?
I'm finalizing a large bundle of raster graphics and animation importers for Godot. This bundle already supports: Aseprite, Krita and Pencil2D. And will be able to support GraphicsGale, Piskel, Pixelorama and regular GIF-format in the future.

How well suited is Godot to pixel manipulation?
Someone made an image editor in Godot. Maybe try it out to see how well it works https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama

Is there a way to change zoom?
If none of this sounds appealing, the only other suggestions I have are either find 3rd party magnifying lens software or to search for a new pixel editor. There are some newer pixel art editors out there, such as Pixelorama, PixiEditor and PixelMash. There are also general raster image editors, such as GIMP and Krita. Other suggestions are listed on Lospec.

KDE and GNOME seek $100k to turn Flathub into a store for the Linux desktop
Pixelorama is another open source pixel editor that looks increasingly like an alternative to Aseprite (although I do not think it is in any way officially trying to be a free clone of that).
