In the first week of October, we'll be opening the StoryNexus creators' tools to everyone. More about that in a moment - but some data first...

We expanded the StoryNexus beta three weeks ago from dozens to hundreds of invites. In those three weeks we've got to

...529 user-created worlds

...82 of those worlds have at least a few hundred words of content

...31 of those worlds are at least minimally playable

...11 of those worlds have gone public and are in community playtesting.

And, of course, we have Cabinet Noir: Persons of Interest playable now, plus Silver Tree, Winterstrike, Unseen, Larkland and the Downside in development. We'll also be announcing another Failbetter project in the near future. Meanwhile, as you've seen, we've been squashing bugs and adding features at quite a pace.

Onwards and upwards, then! Two dates for your calendar -

First week of October - we're opening the creators' tools to everyone in the first week of October (just after the look-and-feel release)
Third week of October - we're turning on monetization for selected creators inMore information on that - and the release we're calling THE MEMORY - very soon.
