Kofu had lost a collar at the day came the new wash basin at the hiding place...so Kofu has been nakid these days, but mom made me a new collar

OC is one of those acronyms we need to start making people spell out every time they use it. I worry for some of you (general) and the way you value your own work

"So good to see a professional artist/author/etc treat their characters like OCs" well yes. They are their characters and they made them. Do you think most artists come up with characters in one shot and never do any silly developmental work on them...?

Interactive Fiction - Twine Resource Megalist

This Resource Megalist is intended to centralise the resources for the IF Tumblr community to create Interactive Fiction with Twine. While most will focus on the Twine formats, other useful resources will be included.

You can also find a backup of this list on the IntFiction Forum. That list may have more links listed (though I’ll try to update both versions as best as I can).

I’m currently working with other peeps to make this list as comprehensive as possible (since there are //a lot// of information out there. And having dabbled with other programs, I’ve been looking into findind and gathering other Resource lists. TBA on all of that.

Forenote: this list includes more sources for SugarCube, as it is the program I’ve used the most. If you have resources for any/other formats, please let me know so I can edit it!

Official Twine Links

Official Website : Twinery (you can download Twine or use it online) Official Discord: Twine Games, the creators of Twine and most formats, as well as Twine wizard hang out there to help. Official Reddit: Twine Games, answers Twine related questions too.

Twine Formats

Harlowe: Current version: 3.3.8 Repository, Documentation. Creator: Leon Arnott

SugarCube: Current version 2.36.1 Repository, Documentation. Creator: Thomas M. Edwards/TheMadExile/TME (Patreon - KoFi) also created the Tweego Compiler (all format).

Chapbook: Current version 2.0.0 Repository, Documentation. Creator: Chris Klimas (Patreon), who also created Twine!

Snowman: Current version 2.0.2 Repository, Documentation. Creator: Chris Klimas, but currently maintained by Dan Cox.

Many other formats have been created for Twine, and a non-exhaustive list can be found on this page, or this page. Please note that some formats may not be complete or available anymore.

Aside from Tweego, there are also other compilers. A non exhaustive list can be found here.

Forums and Guides

The Twine website has a guide to help with the Twine interface here, as well as Cookbook to help you choose the format you may want to use. The Cookbook includes explanation and tutorials on the ways the different formats operate. There is also the old Twinery Forum where many questions were solved before it closed in 2017 and the Twine Q&A (similar fate). Please note: Due to the Forum closure and the lack of update for the Cookbook, some examples/code may be out of date (though the logic may still be good).

If you are looking for a Forum style-community for help (or discuss Twine), you should go instead to the IntFiction Forum!

Other Guides, Tutorials and Communities

The documentation for each formats may still not be quite easy to get, as it often use very technical description. Below are some guides and tutorials with maybe easier explanations. There might be more (please let me know!).

Note: The Twine interface changed in 2022, some aspects of these tutorial may be outdated.

Tumblr coders

Below is a list of IF creators using Twine and having created tutorials/answered asks. Please check the creator’s FAQ before sending an ask/contacting them. There might be coders for other formats making tutorials, but I do not know of them.

Coding Communities

Below you will find Discord servers focused on coding with Twine or Interactive Fiction where you can ask question. I am sure there are others Discords or Forums out there (especially with other languages) !

Other Twine Resources

Custom Macro (GitHub + Patreon/Kofi links)

There are A LOT of people who created custom macros for Twine (SugarCube especially).

Other Coding/IF Resources

Knowing a bit about other coding languages can help you with customising the visual or the gameplay of the project. CSS/HTML are most helpful when understanding templates or how to build/edit the visual size; JavaScript for the gameplay/animation.

W3Schools is more accessible to new users and the explications tend to be easier to understand overall. However, MDN is thought to have the superior code and will let you know more easily if a code/rule is compatible between browsers. Both websites will include explanation for JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

If you want to learn JavaScript, you may want to start on this website.

Accessibility Resources

An important point that should be included is how to make your project accessible (for screen-readers, colour-blind, visual sensitive, etc…). While the way Twine/Tweego compiles the project into an HTML file already takes some of these into account (especially for screen-reader use), but the way one codes may hinder this accessibility.

Misc Stuff

Codepen is useful to test HTML/CSS/JavaScript. There are also some cool code out there (but edits are required to work on Twine).

Pattern of CYOA Games is more of an IF Planning resource than a coding one, but is always useful to have.

Interact-If has also reblogged some resources (see the Platform Ref Tag Subsection).

Again, this list is non-exhaustive. I've only added what I know/have seen around the internet. If you have Twine resources not included in this post, please let me know so I can add it. If I have forgotten Patreon/Ko-Fi links for any of the people mentioned above, please let me know ask well!

If you are split between two answers on a question feel free to take the quiz once with each and answer for the result that's more like you

you don't get it okay... you don't understand......... .

Post that will get me labelled a psyop but honestly the moment that a party realizes that "you might not like us but you have no choice but to vote for us because otherwise the fascists win" is an effective way to rake in votes it practically ensures that they'll never take any actual meaningful action against the fascism problem. They gotta keep the fascists around bro they're their electoral strategy.

Like. Sorry to bring up Roe v. Wade but. Ultimately the Democratic party had no incentive to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law even when they had a filibuster-proof supermajority because like. If they made it so that Roe v. Wade was not perpetually at risk of getting overruled every time they lost an election that was one less incentive to vote for them. Making the continued existence of abortion rights contingent on their continued lectoral victory benefitted them.

And like I'm not saying NOT to vote but it's silly when american liberals tell american leftists like "you can care about [issue] when WE ARE NOT AT RISK OF [bad thing]" because if the risk of [bad thing] is what keeps getting a party votes then you can rest assured that voting for them will never get you to a place where [bad thing] isn't a risk anymore.

this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

"falin isn't fat in canon (so stop unduly giving this series credit for fat representation in her case)": a very fair point! it *is* honestly a bit concerning that people are so conditioned by media to think stick-thin is the norm that they think medium-sized bodies are fat. and i've seen some very good points about how almost every character we see that has a heavier build is just like that because their race is naturally more stocky, and that almost no characters in this story are "overweight" by their race's standards. so while this story is much better than a lot of others with its body diversity, there are still some things that it could do better.

"falin isn't fat in canon (so stop drawing her fat)": your ignorance astounds me and your foolishness knows no bounds. i could fill libraries with the things you don't know on this subject. every time you bitch i give her another roll.
