Writing your story

The story editor, cast, relationships, world and story memory.

Scenes and blocks

A scene is a list of blocks: dialogue (say, think, whisper, shout), narration, backgrounds, characters, music, sound effects, videos, pauses, choices, conditions, jumps and more. Add a block with the + button and drag to reorder.

Choices and story memory

Choices can have conditions and can change story memory — remembered scores, flags and text. Use If / else blocks to react to what the player did earlier. Story memory has plain-language names, so there is no code to write.

Cast, relationships and world

Give each character a profile, a colour, a voice and pictures. The relationship map shows who is connected to whom, and world and lore keep places, rules and history in one place. The AI reads all of this so generated text stays consistent.
