Arcweave
What it is
Arcweave is a collaborative platform for creating and publishing games, training scenarios, and branching narratives. Its node-based editor lets authors map story flows with reusable character, location, and item components. Narratives can be played as choice-based games, checked for logic issues, and shared as playable links that run on any device. Teams can edit at the same time, exchange comments and replies, and manage roles and permissions. AI tools include a text generator, design assistant, and text enhancer. Free plugins connect projects with Unity, Unreal, and Godot; real-time sync and localization support are listed for each. Projects can be exported as JSON, CSV, XLSX, Markdown, or PDF. The REST API provides read and write access to project content on Team workspaces. Arcweave offers a free Basic plan, but it is limited to three projects of up to 200 items each and cannot be used for commercial projects. Paid plans start at $15/mo (annual).
