Rpg Maker Developers Group

Hello!

I'm trying to introduce a scripting language called ink—it's described as an interactive narrative engine, mainly used to write and create choose-your-own-adventure games—into RPG Maker MV. It's a great tool used to create dialogue-heavy, story-rich games. Paired with RMMV, I thought it might have incredible potential as a base to build off of. Imagine a CYOA game made in RMMV, but less time-consuming and with less eventing! All you'd need to do is build assets and string together some added functionality for a fully-fledged game.

I've been scouring the web for any plugins that might help with this endeavor, but so far I've only found a video of someone's successful(?) attempt of importing ink into RMMV and nothing else. When I looked up the dev, it seemed like he did not release any ink-related projects and was last active two years ago.

Good news: ink has a Javascript port that could be compatible with RMMV. The only problem is that I have no idea where to begin with converting the port as a plugin for RMMV.

The goal of the plugin would be to translate the .JSON file exported from ink as a game, more or less, within RMMV. It doesn't need added functionality, just that it can import .JSON files from ink with no difficulty.
