Showcase

How does this work

NarrativeCraft works thanks to the amazing open source project Ink, a narrative scripting language to write dialogs and create branching patterns. Text first, logic later.

Features

NarrativeCraft is an all-in-one system, meaning that you have everything by default.

Compatibility with other mods requires installing addons.

  • Cutscenes
  • Player recording
  • Dialogs rendering (on screen or a character speaking)
  • Camera angles for character dialog focus
  • Interactions with trigger zones and clickable points
  • Characters and NPCs
  • Full management of your story
  • Multiple locales in one world
  • Choices
  • Saves
  • Main screen (new game, continue...)
  • Multiplayer

About Multiplayer

NarrativeCraft is singleplayer first, meaning that it is mainly developed for singleplayer. However, multiplayer is supported, but it does not mean co-op, it means that you can play a story, show cutscenes, display characters or NPCs to a single player, so you can create more immersion for your server.

Getting started

If you want to start learning NarrativeCraft, take a look at the documentation; you'll be guided there to start your first story and learn the fundamentals of the mod.
