Decker is a free open source multimedia sketchpad in the tradition of HyperCard. A completed Decker project can be exported as a single self-contained HTML file.
Decker uses it's own language called 'Lil' for scripting but it can also function as a no-code authoring system with just the use of the included 'Basic Widgets', such as text fields and buttons for navigation.
The officially supported Decker modules Dialogizer and Puppeteer can be used together to create a visual novel format.
The Twee module introduced Twine integration to Decker along with the new story format, Ply.
