Wintermute Engine Development Kit VS Inform

I strongly recommend looking for a point and click engine rather than writing one in unity. Adventure Game Studio is very popular as have been around for a while. There's also Wintermute and Delores the precursor to the engine used in Return to Monkey Island. Source: over 1 year ago

A few more point-and-click engines: * Wintermute Engine: http://dead-code.org/home/ * Escoria (for Godot): https://github.com/godot-escoria * JavaScript Graphic Adventure Maker: https://kreezii.github.io/jsgam/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

The games are made using the Wintermute engine, which saw its last release over ten years ago at the time of this writing. Wintermute can only create games for the windows operating system. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

Inform 7 is a domain-specific language for creating parser-based works of interactive fiction (i.e. old-school "text adventure games"). It does the heavy lifting of parsing and maintaining the consistency of the world model for the programmer. Source: over 1 year ago

Inform 7 takes this to the extreme, allowing code such as "A distance is a kind of value. 5 miles specifies a distance.". Source: over 1 year ago

Pure parser-based games have become niche, but they are still out there and, like others mentioned, have continued to evolve (see Inform 7). You no longer have to "guess the verb". Source: almost 2 years ago

How will you earn its trust? http://inform7.com. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Neat. Have you ever seen Inform? http://inform7.com/ Might offer some inspiration on future features. It's a pretty cool language that's been around for a long time and has the same use case. Source: almost 2 years ago
