  • twinejs

    Twine, a tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories

    I think Articy is a bit of overkill for most people; it can be kind of clunky. I find Twine is usually enough for most games.

  • Arrow

    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.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!
