merino

Merino is a narrative design tool that lets you write Yarn scripts inside the Unity Editor, built on top of Yarn Spinner and Yarn (a Twine-like script language)

NEWS, 21 Dec 2021: with the full release of Yarn Spinner 2.0, I've decided to archive this repo. The editing experience in VS Code has become much better: the official YS extension has node map and basic syntax highlighting + there's a fantastic YS language server that gives you autocomplete and interfaces between Unity C# and Yarn scripts automagically. Thanks to everyone who supported this project! You should now use the VS Code tools instead haha

NEWS, 23 Feb 2020: Merino is currently NOT compatible with recent updates to Yarn Spinner (v1.0+)... I'll update it after Yarn Spinner finalizes a lot of stuff, but in the meantime, it doesn't make sense to try to hit a moving target... sorry! ... see https://github.com/radiatoryang/merino/issues/39
