What is ChoiceScript?
ChoiceScript is a simple scripting language developed by Adam Strong-Morse and Dan Fabulich of Choice of Games LLC for writing text-based, multiple-choice games.
Developing Interactive Novels with ChoiceScript is simple and fun. It's free to use, doesn't require any previous programming experience, and it's very easy to learn -- while also being a powerful and flexible development tool for experienced users with highly creative ideas. ChoiceScript games are published on the web, on iOS, Android and Kindle devices, and even on Steam. ChoiceScript authors earn royalties from their games when published by Choice of Games LLC.

More Admins Needed!
If you are currently developing your own CS game (or have already done so); if you have been active on the official ChoiceScript forums for quite a while; and if you can see several areas for possible improvements / better clarification (or perhaps simply have some ideas for new & useful articles that you'd like to explore), we would be delighted to receive your application to join the Admin team. Please PM CJW or Vendetta on the ChoiceScript forums.
