New feature alert: Advanced Game Logic

Say hello to Stornaway's brand new game logic features for Premium, Academic and Enterprise creators. To quote our Head of Product, Gemma: "this is 'either/or' settings but with power."

This new feature lets you keep track of what a viewer has seen or done and then adapts the project based on pre-set variables. That could be having a score that goes up and down or tracking the relationship between two characters as the story progresses. Or simply checking off whether the viewer has seen a specific island.

To find out more, our co-founder Ru is here to take you through >
