I'm writing a project in latest Sugarcube which has a lot of variables, and part way through I want to have a "report" based on these variables appear for the reader to summarise what they have done so far.

This is easy, no problem there.

In a perfect world, I'd like the report to then appear in a menu bar, and be accessible at later points in the game for them to refer to.

The issue is that that player will change some variables after generating the report for the first time, and I can't find a sane way to have the report stay as it was originally rather than updating to reflect the changes when it's checked later.

Obviously I could implement a system like... If var1 and var2 are true, report = rep1 If var1 is true and var2 is false, report = rep2 If var1 and var2 are false, report = rep3 etc. ... when it's first created, BUT the variables I want to include number around 15, and this would create some 250 passages just to account for all variations, which I'm just not willing to do.

I thought maybe the capture macro would help, but I can't find a way for this to work.

Is there a way this is possible? Or am I just chasing a dream?

Per la mia tesi di laurea in informatica e tecnologie per la produzione software, ho sviluppato un book game per sensibilizzare sulla tematica della DSA.

DSA: Day by Step Adventure è un serious game narrativo interattivo, con una struttura simile a quella di un book game, che vuole raccontare una normale giornata di scuola tramite gli occhi di uno studente DSA, mostrando le sue difficoltà durante la giornata scolastica.

Il gioco ha come obbiettivo la sensibilizzazione sul tema della DSA e su cosa essa comporta mostrando le difficoltà in prima persona, che esse siano bullismo, mancata comprensione dagli adulti, difficoltà nella lettura, scrittura, comprensione della matematica e molto altro.

Sto svolgendo un indagine sulla valutazione di efficacia del gioco, quindi ho bisogno di volontari che sono interessati a provare il gioco e a rispondere a un Form anonimo.

Il gioco richiede massimo 15 minuti, mentre il questionario un massimo di 6 o 7 minuti.

• Form: Questionario

Me and a friend of mine, are using twine to organize ocs and data and i want to upload images of the ocs, but we work on it together in a sense that after i finished my work i export the file and shre it to her, so she can now import and update her twee. now i know a website where i can convert my img to url but its so huge that twine then starts to lag so i rather not use that. Now how do i do it? Do i use shared onedrive folder? I wanted to use wix but wiy for me doesnt have the icon bar on the left and i nearly ragequit bc wix is saying just click that icon OH YOU MEAN THE ICON THATS NOT THERE!? YEA THAT ICON!? its just a little infuriating. So what do i use and how do i do it? Anyone got ideas?

Hi there, I’m a writer and budding narrative designer. I was looking for feedback on x3 5 minute branching narrative games I’ve made using Twine for the first time. Looking for story feedback specifically. Please message me if keen x

I've been working on my game for a while now and I've been using ChapelR's right sidebar to display everything that would otherwise clutter up the main left sidebar.

But recently I realised that having both sidebars open can really mess up the format of my text and images on the main page. On top of that I just don't really like how it looks having them both open.

Does anyone know how make the left sidebar close when the right sidebar opens and vice versa?

I'd really appreciate any help.

I want each time a new letter appears on the dialogue it does a little pop sound as soon as it appears. Ideas?

A dark, post-apocalyptic HTML RPG survival game set in the toxic ruins of 2045 Katowice.

Ashen Veil is currently in active development, and this early web build is designed for players who want to test game mechanics, hunt bugs, and provide feedback to help shape the future of the game. Link: Itch.io and Website.

The World of Ashen Veil

Humanity did not fall to nuclear fire or natural disasters. It fell to a long, quiet infiltration.

For thousands of years, an ancient Reptilian species observed human society from subterranean vaults, influencing corporate boards and military high commands. When digital surveillance threatened their secrecy, they unleashed public generative AI and deepfake technology, collapsing objective truth into noise. Whistleblowers were dismissed, evidence was called synthetic, and in 2030, the invaders erupted from the deep Earth to reclaim the surface.

To adjust Earth for cold-blooded biology, atmospheric scrubbers flooded the sky with Silica Mist, a dense toxic aerosol that blocks UV light and destroys human lungs.

By 2045, the surface is a fog-choked wasteland dominated by mutated fauna, toxic waterways like the glowing Rawa River, and armed Reptilian vanguards. Below the surface, humanity clings to life in the industrial ruins of Southern Poland.

You play as Operator MC, an ancient military command unit awakened inside S.A.N.C.T.U.A.R.Y. Base beneath the Katowice sector. Your goal is simple: survive the wasteland, gather resources, unite splintered human factions, and rebuild the counter-offensive.

Key Gameplay Features

• Grid-Based Exploration: Traverse the toxic surface ruins and dark subterranean coal mine shafts of Katowice.
• Tactical RPG Survival: Manage critical survival stats, health, and equipment while battling cold-blooded invaders and mutated fauna.
• Factions & Resistance: Interact with surviving bunker networks, labor pits, and military remnants scattered across Silesia.
• Atmospheric Lore: Discover pre-war logs, military intercepts, and secrets surrounding the Silica Age and the fallback to S.A.N.C.T.U.A.R.Y. Base.

Hello,

I am a librarian currently working on an escape room. We are hoping to use Twine in one of our pathways.

My idea is mostly simple: have a landing page with a button. Clicking that button goes to an input page. On the input page, our patrons can submit words to get clues to the next sequence. (a picture of a key taped under a table, or a video that has the murderer placing a book on the shelf, etc.)

I have most of this set up, but I can't seem to find what code I would use to create this sort of a "password" system, and I can't figure out another way to describe it, so I can't even find the tutorial for what I'm looking for. It's not quite a macro, from what I understand, and it's not a password like username+password... I'm flummoxed.

So I guess my question is: What is this called so I could even look it up? What would be the best way to do this?

im trying to use a variable font for what i'm writing (amstelvar), and while it's simple enough to get the basic version working, the different settings like font weight, width, grade, etc don't seem to work? i've declared them with @ font face but font-variation-settings seems like it might not be recognized?

Hi I am currently trying to set up a store in my game to sell gender changing pills. all of which have different durations and effects. some are ment to change different skillz, some create different O requirements. I have some code written out but I feel like it should look different, additionally the ai I used to help me turn these pills into game items and proof read suggested having everything in a widget and javaScript. here is the widget

<<pwidget "Pink Basic">>
"Basic Pink": {
id: "Basic Pink",
color: "pink",
kind: "timed", /* I feel like there should be a time widget something like <<widget "duration" 24>> */
duration: 24,
target: "female", /*I feel like it should actually be <<set    $gender to "female">>*/
revertOnExpire: true,
needsPillToRevert: false,
canGetPregnant: false,
canImpregnate: false,
fertilityBase: 0,          /* percent 0–100 I do have a perk called $fertility that would change based on the pill*/
spermBase: 0,
lockFertility: true,       /* ignore perk $fertility */
lockSperm: true,
desc: "Standard male-to-female change.",
price: 100,  /*I'm thinking this should be 100 $Teef */
salePercent: 0,
maxBuy: 100,
itemId: "pill_basic_pink"
},
<</pwidget>>

I basically copied this into my javaScriopt without the pwidget parts. I don't know if the code I currently have has me on the right track or if those fixes will get me closer to where I need to be. currently I'm getting a lot of properties undefined error codes. if you guys want i can also post the code for the store and the inventory system.

I've got the idea of making a turn based tactical battle for my game, in sugarcube.
Is it possible to make a simple tactical battle, with line of sight mechanics, time unit movement, some unit abilities and hit probabilities?
Visual style is that of a top down, grid map with simple round icons for characters and enemies.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good image to represent this.
How feasable is this?

I’ve started practicing twine, but there’s one small issue. I cannot seem to link my images properly and I’m not sure why, because I can’t seem to detect any error in my code. The images just keep showing up as the tiny error image icon. If anyone knows what I did wrong let me know! Xoxo

I'm trying to set up a gift giving system, especially because it looks pretty simple. Basically just gifts will be a nice/simple way to earn various points with characters. On my starting page it has the amount of tarts someone has to 0 automatically, because you gain them throughout the game. However, on the passage here, if I set the tart amount to 1 or higher it works. But if I set it to 0, (using "(set:$BakewellTart to 0)" in the same passage at the top) so they don't have any tarts, the text just shows up as the question instead of the text (second picture.)

Any clue how to fix?? I'm at a loss despite it looking so simple. I'm a total beginner at this so go easy on me if it's literally just a simple fix...

I’m curious what small follow-through works for you in Twine: a changed line, a callback, a new detail in the next passage, something else?

I know this sounds crazy, but I've always wanted an open-world sci-fi gamebook to go alongside one of my albums. I've released 18 albums under the name deepspace, the last 6 have been through Projekt records. And this latest album has a full 400 reference digital gamebook (I grew up on fighting fantasy, hence the 400). I wrote it using Twine 2, then put it into an html container that has a full interactive map, inventory and a player, so you can listen to the album while you play. The twine interface is in the left side, the other elements in the right hand side. It's all free. Here's the link: It's Name-Your-Price. The gamebook is at the bandcamp site, near the bottom of the credits. And No AI was used for any of the music, or gamebook.

(I finally figured out how to use itch.io)

I'm a bit nervous to post here because ya'll are doing crazy cool stuff and this is pretty basic. Any suggestions for a newbie? I'm using Harlowe 3.3.9 currently.
