Speaker Feedback
Yarn Spinner is the open source dialogue engine inspired by Twine and used in 2017’s “Night in the Woods”. Yarn Spinner is being used in a rapidly increasing number of games, and in this talk, we’ll discuss the problem that it solves, how to use in your own narrative games, and how to get the most out of it.
