Homer. The Story Flow Editor Homer is the free web-based solution for designing and writing interactive narrative content.

And then there are our 2 partners in Open Lab, @pupunzi.bsky.social who develops Homer, the narrativetool on which Becoming Saint is built, who also gave crucial help in fixing several insidious bugs, and Laura Mirri, who handles management and testing.

Still early days and plenty of uncertainty, but we're making progress.
Currently experimenting with how Senate discussions influence the movement of nearby or distant senators.

For greater control and accuracy, you can export any language to a CSV file, handle translations externally, and then reimport the updated CSV back into Homer.

I'm working on a new strategic card video game where you play as a Roman senator during the late Republic. Use your cards to persuade the Senate and manage the construction of new buildings across the city of Rome.

In Homer, you can add a new global variable simply by writing it in any node. Homer will automatically detect it as new and add it with the correct type.

Homer allows you to easily create dialogue nodes by pasting copied dialogue text directly into the platform. It automatically generates actors and connects the nodes for you.
