Inkweaver Studio

A visual novel engine that works the way you do.

You've found us early!

Inkweaver is still a work in progress, and we're not quite ready for prime time yet!

You're more than welcome to poke around and see what we're building, but please keep in mind that everything you see (from features to pricing) is a draft and subject to change.

Thanks for being here at the beginning. We can't wait to show you the finished version!

Screenplay, Art, and Code in Harmony

Write in plain language, paint in layers, build with modern JavaScript.

Inkweaver is a visual novel engine that uses text-based screenplays, layered art, and modular plugins to build desktop and web-ready visual novels.

For Writers

Write your story like a screenplay

Focus on your narrative with absolutely no code or scripting needed.

For Artists

Preserve the integrity of your art

Your layered art maps directly to game components, making your art files the code-free source of truth for dynamic expressions.

For Developers

Develop modern visual novel software

Inkweaver's JavaScript plugin architecture is modular, predictable, and easy to reason about.

Your Work Belongs To You

Inkweaver is completely free to use. No licences, no fees.

Publish for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with visual novels ready for Steam and itch.io–or integrate your novel with Unity or Godot.

If your story finds its audience and earns more than $50,000, we ask to share just 1% of that success.
