Post by John W KennedyPost by oxtailWhat are good text adventure game engines that handles multiple choice
questions very well?
For now, I'm using RenPy.
Do you mean throughout (in which case it's really a
choose-your-own-adventure, rather than a text adventure in the
traditional sense), or do you mean in conversations with non-player
characters? And what do you mean by "handles... very well"? Bourne Shell
would do as well as anything.
I want to have multiple choices for each and every scenes. Those choices
would replace all the help for the player, like inventory, maps, hints,
etc. Even though I can code a little, I'm more interested in a ready-made
game development system with built-in editor. At first, I want to start
with an interactive fiction with enough branching possibilities as to
make players to feel eventually as if they are writing the story
themselves. The exponential explosion of multiple choices would be
manageable if we make most choices to revert to the earlier scenes. There
must be some decent murder mystery games that work this way. I guess in
theory, according to my limited knowledge, Inform and TADS can be used
this way. But I like to have something simpler. But a little more
sophisticated than Twine or Ren'Py.
