Discovering “Ink”

I’ve found a perfect tool for writing interactive text games! It’s called Ink and it’s free and open source. I normally use Windows Batch, but I’ve been looking for something cross-platform. I’ve briefly used Inform and Twine, and Ink is somewhere in the middle. I think of Inform as being on the far left of system-heavy games and Twine as being on the far right of simple, minimal system games. Ink has the right amount of both. I can script the game, like in Inform, and keep some of Twine’s simplicity. I’d include a minigame here, but for some reason export isn’t working xD
