I'm working on doing the same thing to my stories in Inform 7. right now I'm working my way through the "Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7" book my wife got me for Christmas, and once done with the sample game, will be retrofitting it into my fiction world.
I don't know about exporting it into a format that Steam could use. I'm planning to use the website export to put it on my site. There are lots of options to export the game along with an interpreter to run it.
I looked at Twine, but am just starting to learn coding. Inform uses a natural language approach- it uses a text parser to create code from natural language commands. It's a little wonky, but once you get the basics down, it's a lot of fun.
No problem! Yeah, the biggest hurdle I had to overcome with Inform 7 was the assumption that a natural language programming language would be more able to pick up on my intent, but it's just like learning any other language. I like Inform because it's so readable and easy to manage.
If you have more questions about this particular piece of code, you can respond to me or to infinull. Keep in mind that the only user to be notified of your response is the one who posted what you respond to. If you have something else that you get stuck on, it would be a good idea to create a new post. If you don't get a reply, tag me in a comment on the post (with
u/Kayoscape) and I'll do my best to help!As for the Intfiction forum, are you behind a VPN? That's happened to me before on other sites.
Something that really helped me out (and still does from time to time) is Ron Newcomb's Inform 7 for Programmers. And if you're prepared to dive in headfirst, I wholeheartedly recommend reading through Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7 by Aaron Reed. Also, don't be afraid to browse the manuals built into Inform 7's IDE and also available here.
Good luck with your project!
Yeah, I'd recommend Inform as well, along with this book:
