I am an artist working on my own interactive story for children. I realise that programming is a complex skill, but I am willing to take a course/degree in it I am specifically interested in learning code that will allow me to construct interactive stories for children. Can anyone assist me with this ?
The most elegant and writer-friendly system for storytelling is Inform7. However, if you are set on using Unity and have no real need to go beyond a very simple program, then you could get by just with one of the asset store packages designed for this sort of thing.
If by ābest codeā you mean C# vs Js, the answer is objectively C#.
If the idea of coding is overwhelming, Playmaker can make things a lot easier.
Iād also look up Renāpy http://www.renpy.org/
Fungus seems to be a fine choice. Iāll be using striped-down version of it in Computer Virus Simulator (striped down because I only need a message system), but the whole package is available for free on Asset Store and is released under MIT license.
Hey there⦠Thank you for the advice⦠Each one has its own merits. I need to way up which one suits what Iām doing. I appreciate the feedback!
