I've tested all the “Story Formats” (which are like rendering engines) and not one of them supports images out of the box. It mainly has to do with serving images from an HTML file without an HTTP server. Hacking something I can make a temporary HTTP Server with

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Which would open a server at port 8000, I can make it display an image. So accessing http://localhost:8000 you'd be able to see the game. But this is only after you exported the game to a file. Needless to say coding it would be painful.

A solution is that we could just ditch the idea of images. Alternatively we could use a game engine and not necessarily make it a web application.

Oh, so it seems I did things wrongly, As @npch stated in another issue if we don't put the data in an assets directory it's going to work.

Also note the the image, audio or other file would need to be copied in the {Documents}/Twine/Stories if a contributor wants to see/hear them while contributing.

There are definitely approaches that are more accessible for text-editing / git-like approaches!

We settled on Twine.
