Inky is a desktop IDE for ink, inkle's narrative scripting language used for interactive branching stories in games. It lets writers edit ink files with syntax highlighting and live error checking while playing the story as they write, and export compiled JSON for runtimes like inkjs or Unity.
Use cases
- write branching narrative for a game in ink
- playtest an interactive story while writing it
- export ink stories to JSON for inkjs web runtime
- debug errors and warnings in ink scripts across multiple files
- export an ink story as a playable web page
When to choose
- you write interactive fiction or game dialogue in ink
- you want a dedicated editor with play-as-you-write for ink
- you need to compile ink to JSON for other runtimes
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose text editor
- you don't use the ink scripting language
- you need a fully polished IDE with extensive features
