Here's something new that just launched.  Looking forward to trying it out tonight.

What is articy:draft?

articy:draft is the first professional tool for story and game design that's tailored to the specific demands of non-linear storytelling. It is the breakthrough tool for story-driven game projects, drastically increasing productivity and joy of use throughout the entire production. With its graphical flow visualization, articy:draft lets you compose interactive stories with great freedom of action for its players and at the same time keep track over dramaturgy and player experience.

Hi,

 nice indeed!

but only windows!?! too bad... can't really understand why it's not cross platform to begin with...

I guess, the best move you can make is to contact them and ask their plan on unity integration, this is certainly something they are already working on actually. Once they have a plugins that work with unity, playmaker could come in and for example create the game logic flow for you to hook up to. That would be of course incredible! especially with clients always willing to have a input, they would design the story, and you build the surrounding bits.

very impressed by this, tho the fact that it's windows only is not really good...

bye,

 Jean

Lots of potential but in that price range it's definitely something I could live without.

yes...

 I contacted them tho, and they do have a plugin that apparently could work within unity to have access to the project, so the difficulty would be in creating the fsm programmatically, something difficult with the current api.
