What's New in CYOA Factory

Lots of new features and bug fixes

User reviews

Great. Until

Love this app. Think it’d be a great tool for others. Till one day the app broke and now when reading a story there’s no text.
Please fix this

Overall, great!

I started using this app about two-ish weeks ago, so I’m still quite new to this. I’m really happy I found this though! It has basically everything that I was looking for while also working on iOS systems. You can create fairly good quality visual novels, with many different genres. There are only a few things that could make this even better.

1. I’d love it if there were more in depth tutorials. When I opened the app it gave me a VERY basic overview, but in the end I still had to look up a tutorial to get the information that I needed. It would be great if you offered tutorials on tags and their usage, battle systems, achievement's, and other complex features aside from the barebones story tools.
2. I’ve noticed that there is a limited size for projects, which means you have to be wise about how much art and sound effects you use. However, it seems that most people don’t use either as the only alternative to this is using URL’s, or they’d have to spend even more time making the art. Although I want to add sound and character sprites, I think it would be beneficial if we could test out how things work before putting in the effort of making all those sprites and whatnot ourselves. My point is, I think this app needs presets, so that everyone has the opportunity to have easily accessible resources for their stories.
3. There is a small glitch where, I would delete some of my downloaded stories, then the next time I open the app and they’re all back. I’m not sure what would cause this, but it is a little annoying. Another feature that would be nice is going to someone’s profile. When I like a game, I want to be able to see what else the creator has made!

Other than this, I haven’t had too much trouble with the app, and it has been a very pleasant experience :)

Can’t create a story

The create story is at the bottom when selecting create story and doesn’t show up on iPhone, can’t scroll down to it either. When I select multiplayer, it lets me scroll and I can see the button to create, but it still doesn’t let me create

Thank you.

This game (if it’s called that,) is confusing
yet fun. But not to confusing. 🙂

Thank you for making this. I didn’t know of the genre (if it is a genre,) CYOA. I’ve seen this style of story, but haven’t made my own like this before. Because of this though, I can. 🙂

h...

now that I've rediscovered this app i can't create stories. will rewrite if things change
