Hi! Thank you for putting in the work for a free IF tool <3 I don't know how possible it is, but a Linux version would be awesome!

I adore this engine. The way the UI is designed is great, the way things are structured just feels really great to use. I'm a big fan, even as a beginner. I have a few requests, however. I'm not sure how possible some of these are.

• Sounds/Music? Having ambience or sound effects would be very fun.
• NPCs as distinct entities. You can have characters appear in descriptions or printed text, but nothing you can interact with or keep track of as a solid object. If possible, NPCs could have a series of responses, or can give/receive items or something.
• Aliases. The ability to have an alternate name for a command, room, or object.
• More specific requirements for commands. For example, being able to choose two objects and combine them into a different object. Or making it a requirement for the item to exist if using a pickup command. Commands that can only be used on specific objects.
• The ability to use special text in descriptions. For example, making a pickup command that displays "CURRENT_ITEM was added to inventory." and have CURRENT_ITEM be replaced with what the item would be. Stuff that would allow for some more dynamic descriptions or effects.
• The ability for the player, NPCS, or objects to have variables? In particular, to allow a player NPC, or object to have attributes/stats, to keep track of the number of interactions, to keep track of money or score, stuff like that.
• The option to have the list of commands instead display a single command (such as 'Help') that can be used to see the full list without cluttering the main screen.
• More options for customizing the UI of the exported game.
• Buttons maybe? Quest or Twine, for example, have hyperlinks where the player can click and automatically move to the room or like, click the text of an object and see some of the possible commands. Probably difficult to add, but it would be neat.
• Exporting to .exe is one of the reasons why I really love this engine, but I'm curious if its possible to have the engine export a version I can run embedded in an HTML5 game so that I can have more control over the UI and whatnot. I know this is probably a longshot.

I'm excited to see how this engine develops in the future. It's honestly one of my favorite tools I've used-- I just wish I could use sounds!

Silent triggers? I noticed there's no way to use a trigger without having a message announcing something happened.

Sorry if this is too much, but the ability to change the color settings as an action, so that you can change the name colors based on the area the player is in would be cool. Also a way to exclude items/objects from being affected by a Command, so that you could make it so that a player couldn't drop certain objects or pickup objects unless they've done something else, stuff like that

Not exactly a feature request, but I've started using Storage objects as NPCs. They have their own distinct color when they're in a room, and they can hold items which is neat. Usually what I do is have a trigger on entering the storage that removes the basic storage commands and instead add commands like 'Speak' or 'Trade' so it feels more like an interaction. It's a good system for anyone who is thinking of adding NPCs using this engine!

Plus, maybe this could help with the development of NPCs somehow? I'll probably have to replace and remake them when the actual NPC objects eventually come out, but for now I find using storage objects works well. Maybe when NPCs are first added they could just be a clone of the Storage object and then improved on later? I dunno, spitballing here.
