Inky
Use Inky, the official editor for ink scripts, to write and test your narrative.
VS Code
If you are using VS Code, consider installing the Ink extension for syntax highlighting and basic support for ink files. It has a setting to put the engine, so you can set it to pixi-vn
to avoid warnings for Pixi’VN-specific features.
Inky is the official editor for ink scripts, developed by Inkle (the creators of ink). Download it from the official site.
Why?
Writing and testing your narrative in Inky is much faster than running your own web project. Inky gives you a clear overview of all branching paths and story logic.
Pixi’VN-specific features (such as character sprites, backgrounds, music, etc.) are ignored in Inky.
To use Inky, create a file named main.ink
in your project and include the ink file you want to run. Then open main.ink
in Inky.
INCLUDE ink/start.ink
-> start
