Having built the world’s first system for collaborative film & video pre-production, Celtx has expanded its cloud-based offering with the release of
Gem: a comprehensive interactive narrative design system for games, virtual reality, and interactive media. Powered by Celtx’s collaborative technology, Gem represents an industry first: an all-in-one solution for synchronizing narrative and product design in a single, secure workspace.
Gem utilizes a new sequence-oriented script editor that provides writers with a versatile creative environment for developing interactive narratives. Equipped with a dynamically generated Storymap and unique gameplay-specific script elements like interactive dialog, Gem users can intuitively build complex, decision-based story structures with streamlined navigability.
Gem also functions as a full-cycle production resource. All aspects of a Gem script are automatically tracked in a self-populating catalog. Via built-in .JSON and .CSV export, these assets can be contextually integrated into the development toolchain.
"Gem is a game-changer for writing games.
It makes every part of a game writer's job easier."
