One of the divergences in API mentioned above relates to static members. The original C# implementation makes heavy use of static variables, but since GDScript doesn't support them, it uses a singleton node called /classes/class_inkruntime instead. This runtime node must be added to the scene tree before executing any of the methods of the GDScript API.
The singleton node is autoconfigured an AutoLoad singleton as long as the editor plugin is enabled.
It's also possible to add res://addons/inkgd/runtime/static/ink_runtime.gd to the AutoLoad list manually if it doesn't appear in the list or was previously removed.
Warning
The singleton must be named "__InkRuntime".
When added as an AutoLoad singleton, the node will remain in the scene tree even when the current scene changes.
