Hello, I'm Steven McDade and my comedy "choose your own adventure" game, Mister Smith & His Adventures, is out now on iOS devices. It was written 100% in Playmaker. What's more, I don't even know how to code, so I hope it proves what can be done by a non-programmer.

This is how Mister Smith & His Adventures came about ...
I was writing TV sitcoms, and although I got a few meetings with UK TV producers (and came very close to getting a radio commission) I haven't made the breakthrough yet. I wanted to get my comedy out there, so I decided to write a game.
There was only the slightest of problems and that was I don't know how to code so I Googled a lot as I wrote the script, coded, did the graphics and, well, you get the picture.
I'm a one man writing team (in my bedroom) who decided to use Unity and Playmaker to make my game. If I can make a game (and get a publisher) then I really think that anybody can!
Any questions, please ask :)

Cheers :) I used ArrayMaker to load in my story file and then just read from that. All the text is rendered with TextMesh Pro.
Trust me, I can't code! There's probably a million ways that I could have done things better, but it works :)

Working on that ASAP. I've got an Android phone... it's a little embarrassing :-[
