Ink Story Template for Interactive Fiction

I love Ink, but I couldn't find any web templates for it that were quite as polished as the Twine ones, so I built one.

  • Save system - 5 slots + autosave, export/import saves
  • Rich formatting - Markdown-style text, links, custom styles
  • User Input - To turn user input into story variables 
  • Media support - Images, audio, background music via simple tags
  • Special pages - For character sheets, credits, maps outside story flow
  • Responsive design - Looks great on all devices, light/dark themes
  • Accessibility - Dyslexia-friendly fonts, customizable text sizing

If you're a fellow interactive fiction writer looking for a good home for your Ink stories, check it out, this might be it. You don't even have to touch a line of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript (unless you want to)!

To use:

  • Download the .zip from here (or get the build/ folder from the GitHub repository).
  • Compile your Ink story to JSON (using Inky or inklecate).
  • Replace story.json with your story JSON file.
  • Add any assets (images, music, etc) in the assets folder.
  • Modify css/style.css as you see fit.
  • Upload anywhere that serves static file.

Full documentation and source code on GitHub →

It's free and open source, and you can deploy anywhere that serves static files.

This template is in active development and is subject to change. You can find the changelog on GitHub, and I will try to be consistent about devlogs here as well.
