Hello! Let me start off with sharing my labor of love: Chronicle Hub Create and play text-based RPGs NOTE: You will not be able to register an account just yet, unless you’re whitelisted. The platform is in an Alpha test phase, and to sniff out bugs, I wan…

Extremely exciting! Thanks for making this. I wonder if the old StoryNexus games could be recreated somehow (with author permission)

I’ve been wondering the same! If I recall correctly, StoryNexus authors were able to download their source files in the past, and I had been working on export and import logic for Chronicle Hub JSON files. If someone who made and eventually downloaded their StoryNexus game would be kind enough to sh…

I never used StoryNexus (because by the time I first took a look, it was already clearly defunct) but I do love QBN as a concept — enough that I wrote my own QBN suite for Twine. It’s great to see someone announce a tool that isn’t a duplication of ChoiceScript with added AI :smiley:

I think @cchennnn ’s DendryNexus is already a good fit for restoring StoryNexus games. How does ChronicleHub compare/contrast with DendryNexus? [image] DendryNexus: a StoryNexus-like IF engine Development Systems DendryNexus is a prototype IF system based on St…

There’s the Black Crown Project dump. I know Ursula Vernon has a private copy of the data for her game (Cryptic Stitching, I believe?). The format isn’t too bad except that they kept adding on properties for every little thing instead of consolidating, so there’s a lot of it. It’s also very nearly t…

This is very intriguing! Are you only approving accounts for people who are willing to take on alpha testing responsibilities at the moment, or are you open to random people nosing around without doing proper testing as long as it’s not a total free-for-all? I’d love to get a closer look but I’m not…

[image] dfabulich: How does ChronicleHub compare/contrast with DendryNexus? I’ll be honest, I have no idea how it compares exactly. This thing was mostly built because I felt like building something, moreso than learning DendryNexus. So, you’ll have to tell me :joy: [image] JoshGrams: Th…

This looks phenomenal and as one of the Storynexus lamenters whose game decks were chewed up after support ended, I recognize all kinds of SN features. This looks like a premium version of that. Is development and hosting on the website only, or is there a separate IDE? Are games exportable as pla…

Sorry if it was mentioned and I just glossed over it, but is the technology behind it open source, or will it be at some point? Not specifically that I don’t trust you, but we’ve seen the fate of StoryNexus, so I’d want to have some sort of guarantee that my work and other’s will not be lost if eve…
