Hello, I am a writer looking to create interactive fiction with a company called Choice of Games. The company offers a template gamebook for any writer to edit and write their own story in the book. Unfortunately, I do not have an engineering background and planning the story out in a linear way in text editor is very difficult. The company uses a very simple Javascript derivative language called ChoiceScript for writers to code themselves. So, I am looking for a way to write a story in a design mode fashion, using a tree that describes the multi-choice and translates this design into ChoiceScript statements within .txt files located in a Choice of Games template here: [login to view URL] I am not looking for the tool to do anything else but edit and create .txt files within the /web/mygame/scenes folder in the template. So any software you would write would not recreate the Choice of Games method from scratch, it would just dictate correctly in .txt files. Please note that a solid understanding of Choice of Game's language, ChoiceScript, would be required for the project. Please message me if you are interested and would like to discuss the project more. Thank you.

@serhiikniaziuk

(updated) Hello, I'm Serhii Kniaziuk (Ukraine +2 EEST) I can help you with creating the text-form-game according to your story. The ChoiceScript is fully understandable for me. Checked your attachment. Is this the whole story scheme? I will place the test version on my own server. So, you'll be able to test it. And then will transfer it to your web-site. Any help with setup on your server will be included. If it is not urgent work, I can start in two days. The whole work would take 2-3 days, including setup, discussing, testing, fixing, etc.. If you have any questions, be free to ask me. I'm almost everyday here. Have a nice day! -------------- updated --------------- we can also discuss my bid further, when you show me the whole story scheme and if your budget is limited

@kwesistewartvw

Thanks for inviting me to bid. I am a Trinidadian freelancer based in Nicaragua. It is very cheap to live here so I enjoy writing code as a means of earning money and travelling around Latin America. Tell me what you would like to see to gain your confidence that I can complete this project. I have no problem executing a single task so that you can see that I am capable and we take it from there. From my understanding of the project you want a simple GUI that allows you to generate choiceScript text files that when interpreted by the game engine allow the user to experience the story/game that you have planned out. I am very interested in taking your vision and making it a reality. Lets talk about the next steps. If you have any screenshots or links that define the functionality let me know. I have set up the milestones for the project such that I am paid when you are satisfied that the solution fits your needs and you have the chance to suggest edits before the final handover.
