Some of you know that I have been working on a board game system for the last two years, called New York Noir.
You can read about it here: https://boardgamegee...steries-high-and-low
And you can watch my youtube design diaries here: https://www.youtube.com/live/UWlRotB3TnI


Most of my coding efforts over the last 2 years have been focused on software tools for this game, both in generating the data and directories and materials, but more recently in making tools to allow other authors to write mystery cases for the game.
I just recently completely rewrote the main tool for building cases into a proper little language that I call Casebook.

You can read about Casebook here: https://docs.google....2uk/edit?usp=sharing
And you can check out the website where authors can build cases and use the storybook builder here: https://www.nynoir.org/

This is an open source project, but I have not updated the latest casebook and website tool code yet.

I'd love to find more people who want to write a mystery game in the New York Noir world, so stop by if you are interested!
