Meet us at Gamescom and get your special Arcweave keycap to prove it! ๐Ÿ“ Greek Video Games pavilion, hall 3.2, booth A031g #gamescom2026 #gamedev #seriousgames #gamedesign #interactive #storytelling

Gamescom's starting! You there? ๐Ÿ™Œ Come meet the Arcweave team at the Greek Video Games pavilion in Hall 3.2, booth A031g, starting tomorrow! #gamescom2026 #gamedev #interactive #storytelling #seriousgames #gamedesign

โ€œShe already knowsโ€ can read as a threat, a joke or a tutorial prompt. A spreadsheet cell wonโ€™t tell the translator which one. ๐Ÿงญ Arcweave keeps source text, surrounding story flow and review status together, so the scene travels with the line. docs.arcweave.com/project-tool...

Your choice text starts on the board โœจ In Arcweave, a connectionโ€™s label is the text shown on its option button in Play Mode. Write that player-facing line early and itโ€™s easier to spot a vague choice before someone meets it in a playtest. ๐Ÿงก docs.arcweave.com/project-item...

That โ€˜almost readyโ€™ game? Give it a little stretch. ๐ŸŽฎ GWB Game Awards 2026 is open to indie and student games released this year or in development. Submissions close 15 August. Building a story in Arcweave? Perhaps this is your gentle nudge. ๐Ÿงก gameinstitute.tencent.com/awards2026

โ€œWait, which scene?โ€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ Pin feedback to the board instead. Arcweave comments stay connected to the place they refer to, with replies, @mentions and a resolve option when the noteโ€™s done. Less context-hunting. More making. docs.arcweave.com/project-item...
