# merino

 

Merino is a narrative design tool that lets you write Yarn scripts inside the Unity Editor, built on top of [Yarn Spinner](https://github.com/thesecretlab/YarnSpinner) and [Yarn](https://github.com/InfiniteAmmoInc/Yarn) (a [Twine](http://twinery.org/)-like script language)

**NEWS, 21 Dec 2021: with the full release of Yarn Spinner 2.0, I've decided to archive this repo. The editing experience in VS Code has become much better: [the official YS extension](https://github.com/YarnSpinnerTool/VSCodeExtension) has node map and basic syntax highlighting + there's a fantastic [YS language server](https://github.com/pappleby/YarnSpinnerLanguageServer) that gives you autocomplete and interfaces between Unity C# and Yarn scripts automagically. Thanks to everyone who supported this project! You should now use the VS Code tools instead haha**

**NEWS, 23 Feb 2020: Merino is currently NOT compatible with recent updates to Yarn Spinner (v1.0+)... I'll update it after Yarn Spinner finalizes a lot of stuff, but in the meantime, it doesn't make sense to try to hit a moving target... sorry!** ... see https://github.com/radiatoryang/merino/issues/39
