A (currently only) choice-based IF library in and for Typescript and using Svelte for the UI, geared towards authors with at least a bit of experience with HTML, CSS and JS looking for a system with customizable UI for complex stories.
This is not a full engine on its own, that is you can't just had it a story file and let it play. The advantage is that the user has more control over the engine internals and how it's set up. There is a template project that has the necessary setup code and a build system set up.
Features
- Passage system with local variables like most Twine formats
- Passages writable in Markdown/HTML and Svelte components
- Global story variables
- Serialization system supporting Svelte stores and hooks for custom classes
- Deterministic/browser-independent random number generator that can be saved
- Saving system with slots and a session storage save to protect against refreshes
- Default UI with support for theming and custom dialogs
