Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We just discovered Wunderverse. Im new to the world of interactive fiction. We tried a couple other apps, but this one is our favorite so far. Its got so many possibilities and the user interface makes the development to intuitive! We hope it continues to develop.
All thats missing is it own, Ai that runs natively in the app. Which.. They can obtain for free with most amazing open source Ai models out there metas llama 2, Deep Seek etc. (at the moment we would go with Deep seek, since it can fit on most devices) Then train it to understand everything everything within this app.. Can be done in weeks or less, due to simplicity of this app. Put a text box in the app world editor thats available in every aspect of the app, so we always have direct access to engage the Ai. Butter smooth creative experience. We have a list of design updates and oversights.. That will significantly improve the quality of life of the UX. Ive been working on this list since 2022. Adding illustrations, videos to show the issues and how they hinder UX performance making things take unnecessarily longer times or more laborious than they need to be. We will send that when we finish. That said If we had the revenue, we would had bought this ip, the app, the source code, and then heres how we would put this back out to the market.. After using the free open source Ai training it with everything this app can do, we would then (increase the yearly price to $20-$30) 1. (if financially feasible) add APIs to other popular Ai services, so the app itself has direct access to eleven labs, midjourney, dalle 2, ready player us.. Etc. (if apis charge – dont add them) 2. This allows the creators to generate images & audio directly within Wunderverse app. 3. Also since you the developer of this app, trained your own model and its (running on device) no tokens fees are being accrued. 4. If you are able to add apis that allow access to other ai apps Make sure the access *to that other apps online site.. Via you providing an in app pop up window.. Therefore, you are not charged any fees, the creators are using their own account credentials associated to those online apps, midjourney, eleven labs, chat gpt.. Etc your app stores none of the credentials, all youre doing is facilitating the creator a window from within your app, that provides them direct access to their creative ai tools, online accounts without leaving your app. We think HUGE missed POTENTIAL if this developer leaves this app as is. That would be sad, this app is amazing EXPLOSION capability. Small Recap: 1. TRAIN FREE OPEN SOURCE AI: Use (deep seekr5) it can download onto device, so it lives on device (no tokens generated, no fees on your side) we use craft docs, they added deep seek, we were able to download it onto our device (within their app as a download) now the Ai in their app is running on our iPhone 11 Pro Max chip. (a 2019 phone) 2. MONETIZE: Allow creators to monetize their creations, you take a small percentage (dont be greedy like choice of games) meaning you take less than they do.. Creators will start arriving in droves.. 3. MARKETING, SCALE, USE AI IN YOUR BUSINESS MOVES: If you decide to do any of the moves above, depending on tire speed.. Have a plan to scale infrastructure if that occurs, and get her on marketing. Use Ai tools for everything on tire business end (planning, marketing, scaling) Youre sitting on a uranium ours and dont even know it.
We wanted this app for a long time. For us, the main appeal is that we can write interactive fiction on our mobile device, a strangely deficient niche in the mobile market. When we finally stumbled upon this app, it was everything we wanted, and as an eager creator we wasted no time subscribing to the pro tools. It's still head and shoulders above anything else we've found. Our 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 us 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 we 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. We honestly feel cheated for buying the pro version. That being said if those issues can be ironed out we could see this becoming an amazing workhorse.
We'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. We wish there were more stories, but other than that, we 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. We grew up playing ZORK and Ive always wanted to create a text adventure, but Im not a coder. WV has allowed us to quickly create and publish without writing a single line of code.
It was actually getting easy to use as we got the hang of it, it was a great game for us to play as a blind person with voiceover. But now, since you updated it, it's completely unusable for us! We were actually getting the hang of using it and had a really good game in progress, but now we'll NEVER be able to finish it unless you can somehow make the app accessible again. Please try at least, we enjoyed making games and want to do it again like everyone else.
Ok, we think the concept is great. We shared this app with many of our 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…. Were just suppose to wait to see if someone shares or work/write our own? Ill keep peeking back in but the cupboards empty.
Wunderverse is a slick collection of tools that makes creating text adventures easy. Theres an early learning curve but we figured out most issues by experimentation and just playing around with the program. We look forward to seeing more adventures by other users. Huge potential for creative expression here.
Wow we were 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 :). We 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.
This delightful text adventure experience immediately brought us back to Zork days. The charming illustrations kick off several genres to choose from, which then takes you directly into a story with a few intro descriptors to get you started. Get stuck? Your progress is saved, then find another story to lose yourself in. But the other half of this was almost more compelling for us, the actual creation tool thats built in, allowing you to dissect how the stories it comes with are built. From characters and game logic to a relational map outlining the connections between major elements. Your then allowed to share your adventure with others as easily as any other iOS app. Well done and looking forward to updates as it progresses.
We get lost for hours creating our own stories! Being able to share with others is a great feature on this platform. We highly recommend to anyone. Great app to express your creativity and imagination.
We played D&D and we read those Choose Your Own Adventure books like crazy when we were younger. This app sort brings those two worlds together. We wish they had more stories to play but we guess that just means that Ill have to create our own. Great idea.
We wasn't sure how well a 'choose your adventure' would translate to the digital realm, but we have been pleasantly surprised. The interface of the game makes it quite easy to play. We especially like the ability to write our own adventures. We can create a story and share it with our friends. Keep up the good work. We can't wait to see what additional stories become available.
This app seems to have nearly all the ingredients for a fantastic interactive fiction platform, and we really hope it catches on like wildfire. However, we're holding back on 5 stars for now. The manual is pretty bare bones at this point, which doesn't dissuade us from finding our own way, but others may find this more daunting. The one other thing that we really feel is lacking is community. Now, to a great extent, this is to be expected due to its newness. However, we don't think the real name/email method of sharing is conducive to building a larger community base. We would really love to see some kind of pen name/account option for sharing stories with the public. TL;DR: if this kind of thing is your thing, and you are comfortable playing with software that still needs a little polish here and there, throw your money at this app.
