Integration: Arcweave

How it all began

I recently attended the Nordic Game 2024, searching for innovative tools to enhance our engine's inclusivity for all in game development. Amidst the bustling exhibition halls, I stumbled upon Arcweave, which caught my attention.

Chatting with Arcweave's co-founder & CEO, Manos Kalaitzoglou, I was struck by their relatable startup journey. Their story of grit and perseverance resonated deeply with our journey right now in the often-solitary world of game tech development.

Post-conference, we gave Arcweave a try and found it to be exactly what we were looking for - a platform that brings together people from diverse backgrounds such as narrative designers, creative writers, game designers, and those without programming skills.


What is Arcweave

Arcweave is an accessible, collaborative tool for game creators. Develop complex narratives, collaborate with your team, build interactive prototypes, and integrate effortlessly with game engines to enhance your development process.

The integration of Arcweave into the Hology Engine marks a significant advancement in game development, enhancing the creative process for various roles within a development team. Arcweave makes it accessible to writers, designers, and other non-technical team members to be involved in game development, while allowing the content created in Arcweave to be synchronized with the game engine, bridging the gap between narrative design and technical implementation without requiring the narrative designers to code.

What Arcweave offers:

  • Unlimited boards per project
  • Real-time collaboration for editors & viewers
  • Asset management
  • 4K+ game-oriented icons
  • Components such as characters, items, locations
  • Export project to .JSON, fine-tuned for different game engines
  • Web API interface for data updates during game runtime
  • Play Mode for testing the project as a choose-your-path game
  • Compatibility with touch device.
