Converting a Twine Story to Unity

Step 1 of 2: Clean up Twine's Export file
Non-linear stories are awesome and Twine is a great tool to write them. But the default export format creates an ugly html file. We can change the story format to entweedle in order to clean the exported file up for easy parsing!

Paste this text into the "Add a New Format" section:   https://www.maximumverbosity.net/twine/Entweedle/format.js

Step 2 of 2: Create a simple dialogue parser
Now that the twine data is in a clean format we can easily write a dialogue parser for Unity. I have included my solution below which includes two files. DialogueObject.cs defines the Node, Response, and Dialogue objects which use OOP to represent the story's text and links between nodes. DialogueController.cs defines methods to direct the dialogue system as your game runs, it also has a public event that your display classes can latch onto.

Dialogue Object.cs
Note: Entweedle changed their export format since writing this tutorial so please refer to this code for the parsing method:

Dialogue Controller.cs

Good Luck!
Now you can create your own user interface to show a branching narrative in your game. I thought it would be beneficial to show you my implementation for the game 22nd Street Traffick (playable here: mrventures.itch.io/22nd-street-traffick )
