Hi everyone!

Thanks to all your comments, I’ve been working hard to improve the general suite. Here is a breakdown of what has changed:

Homepage Catalog

https://godungeon.com

  • New Homepage: A centralized place to discover all stories.

  • Enhanced Info: See descriptions, covers, and ratings at a glance.

  • Save for Later: Add stories to your list to play them directly in the engine.

  • Discovery: Sections for “Most Recent” and “Popular” stories.

Player

https://play.godungeon.com

  • New Menu System:

    • My List: View stories you’ve added from the catalog.

    • My Stories: Access all your own stories (published and unpublished). Perfect for testing before you go live!

    • Catalog: Browse all available stories in the community.

  • Login & Sync: Added login functionality to sync your progress and access your stories anywhere.

  • UI/UX: Added Light/Dark theme support and general UX improvements for a smoother experience.

Builder

https://studio.godungeon.com

  • Publishing Info: You can now add Genre and Language to your stories.

  • Full Image Support: You can now upload covers and images within your stories (images for items coming soon!).

  • Story Metadata: Easily manage covers and descriptions.

  • Deep Linking: When you publish, you’ll get a direct link that takes readers straight to your story’s first page in the player.

Note: GoDungeon is still in Alpha, so you may encounter some bugs. Any feedback is incredibly helpful!

Hope you like it! Let me know what you think.

I made a story. How do i run it? Do i have to save first?

Also, i had to type in the node id to make connections, this is annoying. Is there a way to click on nodes to connect them or a way to draw a link between them?

You have two ways to play your story:

  1. Save your story, go to the player, and then you can find your story in My Stories. In this way, your story is private.

  2. Save and then publish the story. In this way, the story is available for everyone in the catalog on the player.

I know type the is a bit annoying.

I’m currently working on the drag feature, it will be available in the next few days.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply!

If you have any other requests, I’d be happy to hear them and evaluate adding them.

I want to build this tool based on users’ needs, so every suggestion is valuable

Is GoDungeon like Eamon?

Maybe they are simular because both have an rpg layer, but the core is different.

In godungeon you don’t have a single character that you gear up and take to different adventures, but every story is a indipendent book with his statistics, his environment and rules. Nothing is shared between the stories.

Think of godungeon stories as interactive gamebooks with the addition of dice challenges for specific choices.

You can try one of the stories available on the catalog to understand what is godungeon and tell me what you think about the comparison.
