articy: draft

Articy: draft is a videogame design tool that’s great for game designers to put their ideas on the screen visually, thus making it easier to transmit their ideas to other members of the development team or to organize themselves.

The application comes with an interface that has been designed with this is mind and that is extremely intuitive and easy to use; the app has been designed so that any user, no matter what their level of programming knowledge, can use it without having to go through complex tutorials.

One of articy: draft's strong points is the possibility of managing a story's characters, the script, and its many possible branches, as well as everything hat has to do with the videogames narrative, in a simple and easy way. What’s even more important, it can all be done visually so that anyone (including the author himself) can understand it just by looking at it.

Now, this is not the only thing you can do with articy: draft. You can also create a type of character sheet (role play style at its finest) to manage each character, design scenes, weapons, objects, or vehicles so as to incorporate them into a data base and much more.

Once your work is finished (or not), you can export all your progress to more 'manageable' formats such as XML, Excel, or Word.

Articy: draft is a tool that has been designed specifically for game designers, letting them put their mental maps onto their computer screen in a much easier way than they could have ever imagined.
