Miksi Early Access?

We believe the best way to build a tool that truly serves narrative designers and game developers is to develop it alongside the community who will use it. Early Access allows us to gather feedback on the visual scripting interface, workflow, and export features while they're still being shaped. Your input on node types, connector logic, and integration priorities will directly influence the tool's development. This collaborative approach ensures we're building features that solve real production challenges rather than what we think developers need.

Miten kauan Early Access -vaihe suunnilleen kestää?

We anticipate approximately 12-18 months in Early Access, though this timeline may adjust based on community feedback and the scope of features we develop together.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The Early Access version provides a solid foundation for creating branching narratives with HTML and JSON exports, and we're actively expanding from there. Our primary focus is building direct integrations with Unreal Engine, Unity, and Godot, which will allow you to seamlessly bring your narrative work into your game projects. Beyond engine integration, we're working to expand the node library with more sophisticated conditional logic, variable systems, and narrative structures that handle increasingly complex storytelling scenarios.

We envision adding collaboration features that let teams work together on large narrative projects, along with a template system for reusable narrative components and common story patterns. We're also planning comprehensive debugging tools to help you trace narrative paths and catch logic errors before they reach your game. We aim to include performance optimizations, quality of life improvements, and extensive documentation with tutorial projects as the tool matures. The exact priority and implementation of these features will evolve based on how you use the tool and what challenges you encounter in production.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version is fully functional for creating and exporting narrative systems right now. The visual node editor provides an intuitive interface where you can drag, connect, and organize narrative elements to build complex branching stories. You can create dialogue sequences, player choices, conditional logic, and manage variables to track story state. The HTML and JSON export system is complete and ready for production use, generating standalone interactive narratives that you can share or embed.

The desktop application runs smoothly on Windows with a modern interface built on industry-standard technologies. While the core experience is stable and usable for real projects, you may encounter some rough edges in the workflow or discover missing convenience features that we're actively addressing based on user feedback. Think of it as a reliable tool that's still being refined rather than experimental software.

Hinnoitellaanko sovellus toisin Early Accessin aikana ja sen jälkeen?

We plan to gradually increase the price as we add major features like engine integrations and advanced export formats. Early Access supporters will benefit from the lower initial price and receive all future updates at no additional cost. The final price will reflect the full feature set and integrations available at launch.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We're building this tool in the open with the community at the center of development decisions. We maintain a public roadmap where you can see what we're working on and vote on which features matter most to your workflow. Development updates go out regularly so you can follow along with progress and understand why certain decisions are being made.

We run an active Discord server where you can report bugs, discuss feature ideas, share your narrative projects, and talk directly with the development team. For users who want to go deeper, we offer early beta access to experimental features before they're publicly released. We actively track feature requests and respond to suggestions about new node types, workflow improvements, and integration priorities. Your real-world experience using the tool in production will shape where it goes next. When you run into friction points or discover missing capabilities, those insights directly influence our development priorities. We're not just building a tool and hoping it works for you—we're building it with you.
