I’m pleased to announce CLOAK OF DARKNESS in ChronicleHub!
At this time, ChronicleHub will require you to register an account and log in to play, but unregistered play without logging in is being tested and is planned. Minor display elements and engine features are also being tested and bugfixed. CH is basically in late-alpha with additional features still in testing and on the roadmap, but this is an example of what is currently possible. By creating an account, the existing toolset is available for anyone to explore.
I am happy to answer questions people have about story creation from an author/user perspective.
My overall takeaway
ChronicleHub offers a QBN creation system similar to Storynexus which produces a game with the feel of Fallen London, but CH has a lot of its own ideas including a world model, an inventory menu with usable items, equipment-slots for stat-bonuses, configurable maps, deck-drawing mechanics, individual save-slots, and more. CH does a lot of things that I haven’t even bothered to explore yet (such as the feature to create market/shop locations in-game) and I don’t know everything. Many of the fancy display features you see were customized by @Randozart, but the system offers many solid prebuilt display themes and interface customization options.
Cloak of Darkness is a tiny adventure designed to demonstrate and test features of a creation system and has been implemented in many current and historical IF engines. It should be available on the Community Arcade tab of the website.
