Story Emulator
A downloadable tool for Windows and Linux
Have you ever wanted to create your own game based on your stories?
However, does the mere thought that you will have to study programming and a bunch of related information make you shiver and break into a cold sweat?
Then I have a possible solution for you - "Story emulator".
"Story emulator" is a small project aimed at creating a tool that will allow users who are very far from programming, but with a vivid imagination, to create their own interactive visual novels, based only on their talent as a writer.
If you have ever asked yourself this question, you should know that today there are several software options that have similar goals, like Twine, Ren'ry or Unity, but most of them still force the user to learn programming in order to integrate their stories on these engines.
To work with the "Story emulator" you only need the text of the story designed according to a certain template and pictures to visualize the story itself, the "Story emulator" will take care of the rest.
"Story emulator" was created using web technologies, so in the final version it will work on any platform that has a browser.
