Tools for writing Interactive Fiction
Twine - "Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories. You don't need to write any code to create a simple story with Twine, but you can extend your stories with variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript when you're ready. Twine publishes directly to HTML, so you can post your work nearly anywhere. Anything you create with it is completely free to use any way you like, including for commercial purposes." Often used to demonstrate interactive storylines - not so much to prepare for shooting them. http://twinery.org
Squiffy - "Squiffy is a tool for creating interactive fiction - that is, multiple choice games that focus on text and story. Players navigate through the game or story by clicking links. Sometimes these kinds of games or stories are known as gamebooks. Squiffy is free and open source. It creates HTML and JavaScript, so you can upload it to your own website, or you can upload your games for free to textadventures.co.uk." http://textadventures.co.uk/squiffy?fbclid=IwAR0ivvqtli6rAVLL49-o1qWIdVo25K-M49xL5rSdBJFEn30rMZ10k8AON2g
