Has anyone used TWINE much? I'm kinda surprised that there doesn't seem to be more use of it in here, especially considering how user (and writer) friendly it is to get something up and running.

I haven't dug into it much yet, but there seems to be a large possibility space of things you can do with it to further interactive narrative. I'll start with some of the ways it's used in scarfmemory by Michael Brough- http://www.freeindiegam.es/2013/03/scarfmemory-michael-brough/

I use Twine, I'm polishing my CSS abilities to get good.

I have no real bag of tricks yet, since I'm a bad programmer, but going through Porpentine's and Anna Anthropy's more complex works are a good way to see what's possible.

Christine Love has made some really cool Twine games, with unique interfaces:

Magical Maiden Madison:

Even Cowgirls Bleed:

I really love how open the Twine community is when it comes to sharing techniques and source codes.

Nice. Capntastic, check out Beginning for a whole bunch of CSS tricks in action:

i made this program jsut cos. http://studioeres.com/eva/twinert/index.html idk why anyone would make a twine for metro but whatever

oh note it doesnt support css but u can probably edit da vs project

If someone could get Twine to work on Kindles (or Kindle to support Twine) I would be the happiest man alive.

Does the Kindle have a browser? Since the files are just html, why wouldn't TWINE games work on a kindle?

I personally lean towards Twine at the moment, but inklewriter is worth looking into if you want to port to kindle - they'll do it for you for a fiver. It can do pretty much everything Twine can in terms of mechanics.

Twine is built on Tiddlywiki, which is built upon some kind of HTML deep magic.  Probably kindle's browser isn't conformant enough to handle all that Javascript wizardry.

Hmm, interesting. Is there any kind of Kindle audience for TWINE games you think? It might be neat to release a Kindle 'book' that's just a bunch of links to TWINE games ported to kindle :)

Holy shit dude, if that was reality I would be ecstatic.

First ever multiplayer, persistent-world Twine game.  It's marvellous.

That one is awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Also a cool multiplayer twine, from back in January (local multiplayer, kinda like a board game??): http://damiansgames.com/post/41631118329/theverminthrone

My own firstie Twine game is here, though it experiments more with story structure (internalised versus externalised action and narrative) rather than CSS craziness: http://tanyaxshort.com/stowaway.html

Let me know if you play/read it and what you think - I treated it like writing a short story, but it quickly evolved to be sliiiightly more game-like...

I think Twine is great, and have done a few things in it.

One resource I think you guys should really check out is Glorious Trainwrecks:

And here is, for me, the most beautiful and helpful script from that site I have ever seen:
