Hi all,

I know Quest has the ability to write gamebooks, but so does Squiffy.

I'm just curious what the differences are? I know that while they say Quest doesn't require coding, a good 90% of the community appears to do so.

Thanks.

Hello.

Here's what the man who created both had to say a while back (still relevant):

Here's a similar thread from this month:

Basically, if you want to write code, use Squiffy.

If you want an easy way to make a simple gamebook with a friendly GUI, use Quest in 'gamebook creation mode'.

You can also make a Quest text adventure which looks and acts just like a gamebook (which is a little more complicated (not much), but it would give you much more functionality than a normal Quest gamebook):
