Description

Every Ovout game ships with an in-game guide for the player, in three languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese, and that same guide also feeds a web wiki. Instead of keeping several copies by hand, I write it once and the rest comes out on its own.

The guide is written in Markdown. gen-guide turns it into an intermediate representation, and from that come the in-game guide and its text files. gen-wiki takes that same representation and builds the wiki pages. gen-recipe draws the recipe images from the game’s data.

It all lives in a monorepo of internal packages published on GitHub Packages, and a generator sets up every new project with that structure from day one. Animal Armor+ and Magical Helpers are already built with it.
