Wunderverse

I just discovered Wunderverse. Im new to the world of interactive fiction. I tried a couple other apps, but this one is my favorite so far. Its got so many possibilities and the user interface makes the development to intuitive! I hope it continues to develop 🤞

I wanted this app for a long time. For me, the main appeal is that I can write interactive fiction on my mobile device, a strangely deficient niche in the mobile market. When I finally stumbled upon this app, it was everything I wanted, and as an eager creator I wasted no time subscribing to the pro tools. It's still head and shoulders above anything else I've found. My one complaint is that it's so packed with features it's sometimes a pain to account for the ones you don't want. Don't have any use for the player ability to crawl or crouch? You'll have to write something for those abilities anyway, because you can't toggle them off. You can rely on the default, generic "nothing happens when you do this" message, but only if it fits your tone. Want to write a story in first person? Get ready to overwrite every single default behavior that's written in second person. But that and a few other minor quibbles don't change the fact that this is the best interactive fiction app not enough people are using. It depresses me to see the devs crafting such a superb engine and the relatively small crowd it's bringing in. This is the framework of a really wonderful mobile experience, and the only thing it's missing is you. Please have a look. See the potential, and love it like I do. See you in the Wunderverse?

Randomly shuts down at times, refuses to follow some before action commands. The biggest issue is not allowing you to copy and paste nodes/ to remove characters from a mode without deleting them entirely. I honestly feel cheated for buying the pro version. That being said if those issues can be ironed out I could see this becoming an amazing workhorse

I've been using it on both iOS and Mac, and it's so cool to be able to create your own adventures. The rules system and options are pretty amazing, and the developers keep adding new features all the time. I wish there were more stories, but other than that, I love this app! It's a great platform for IF.

The new version of WV has taken it to the next level. The interface is easy to master, and the new functionality gives creators endless conditions and outcomes. I grew up playing ZORK and I’ve always wanted to create a text adventure, but I’m not a coder. WV has allowed me to quickly create and publish without writing a single line of code!

It was actually getting easy to use as I got the hang of it, it was a great game for me to play as a blind person with voiceover. But now, since you updated it, it's completely unusable for me! I was actually getting the hang of using it and had a really good game in progress, but now I'll NEVER be able to finish it unless you can somehow make the app accessible again. Please try at least, I enjoyed making games and want to do it again like everyone else.

Ok, I think the concept is great. I shared this app with many of my friends who grew up with text games and choose your own adventure books. Everything about this app “looked” great except... Unfortunately we were hoping to read/play a few adventures? Um.... we’re just suppose to wait to see “if” someone shares or work/write our own? I’ll keep peeking back in but the cupboards empty???

Wunderverse is a slick collection of tools that makes creating text adventures easy. There’s an early learning curve but I figured out most issues by experimentation and just playing around with the program. I look forward to seeing more adventures by other users. Huge potential for creative expression here!

Wow I was surprised by this app's toolset. A really fun mechanism for visually seeing your stories in action as you create them, as a game! Instant feedback and gratification :). I can see this being a GREAT teaching tool for creative writing / storytelling (learning and applying story components, building suspense, plot twists, character development etc) utilizing game development as the platform. The app lets you focus on your story and characters, building your game experience for you in manageable pieces. It's sure to be lot of fun sharing stories---it not only makes for good practice but also a fun way to get feedback---whether you're a writer, gamer, entertainer. Good to start with the app by checking out the demo stories and spend some time walking through the help tips first to get a sense of the toolset. Then, unleash your imagination and show friends or others in your Wunderverse community what you've come up with!
