Story Machine Product Information

Story Machine ð4" Documentation is a no-code 2D game engine designed to simplify game creation and empower storytellers. It provides a visual, drag-and-drop interface to build top-tier 2D adventure games without writing code. The engine emphasizes a direct visual grammar, quick scene transitions, AI-assisted prototyping, and a lightweight runtime with a focus on ease-of-use and rapid iteration. Story Machine is currently in private beta and invites creators to join a community around its development and future projects.

Overview

  • No-code, visual grammar-based 2D adventure game engine.
  • Drag-and-drop editor that removes programming barriers.
  • AI-infused tooling to generate art for prototyping or production directly in the engine.
  • Quick Mask tool to extract and composite images into scenes.
  • Snapshot-based transitions for smooth scene layout changes.
  • Runtime environment designed to be fast, stable, and backward compatible (no regression guarantee).
  • Browser-playable demos to test games instantly.
  • Community access via Story Machine Discord for updates, sneak peeks, and free games.

How it works

  1. Assemble game logic visually. Use a direct, visual grammar to arrange sequences of actions and game states without writing code.
  2. AI-generated assets (optional). Generate AI art for backgrounds, objects, or characters by describing the scene or concept; the engine selects appropriate AI models and services automatically.
  3. Background and assets. Use the Quick Mask tool to remove backgrounds and seamlessly composite assets into your scene.
  4. Play in browser. Click to play a game made with Story Machine directly in your browser.
