This was quite an interesting project to make for us. We made an entire little scripting system from scratch to let our writers be able to create the entire story directly from json files with simple yet powerful logic. This made our project actually be almost more of a game maker in itself than a game for us coders! We even created a complete documentation and script validation for this so that anyone can make their own adventure or add events - for a gamejam! Has anyone done that before?
You can easily make your own events, planets and ending conditions by just creating simple json files and put them in the Data/Story/ directory and they will be loaded automatically. If there are any parsing errors you will get an error message with the details of the error when you start the game. If the game boots up fine, you are good to go and your story content will appear.
If you do manage to build any events, we would happily add them to the game, just post them here after testing them! :)
