What makes StoryStylus great Digital Storytelling tool?

STORYSTYLUS has been nicknamed the “interactive fiction storytelling engine” and it invited everyone to use it for interactive storytelling. It empowers three key-features in this regard: creating branched narratives, crafting “living breathing interactive worlds” and allowing creators to collaborate with artists, musicians, and audiences. This mix of tools is great for visual storytellers with a passion for gaming as well.

The software has broken down story elements into the basic building blocks: people, places, things, events and conversations and this allows every beginner to play vividly with modular storytelling.

  • If you want to transform your short stories, graphic novels or your novels into interactive games, you may use StoryStylus to create Point and Click adventures by uploading your media – photographs or illustrations, sound effects, voiceovers and scores. Customize your game’s theme by designing your own theme templates for your steampunk, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy or horror story games and so much more.
  • As an add-on, you may make Player/Non-Player Character conversations as simple or complex as you want.
  • Creating a world for your players to navigate is as easy as uploading your own maps, photos or 2D/3D illustrations and selecting points to say hey, this is a door. *Knock, knock!* Trigger conversations, travel to new locations, encounter scary beasts!

Being in a BETA stage, the platform keeps on experimenting and collecting feedback while rewarding the users with their own discoveries and upgrades.
