What educators say
“Arcweave plays a major role in the success of this year’s game writing course, as it inspires and helps students effectively bridge their creativity and storytelling skills with programming knowledge already acquired in previous courses. This maximizes their engagement while fostering interdisciplinarity—a quality we constantly strive to provide in our curriculum.”
Dr. Panayotis Kalozoumis
Director, Information Technology and Engineering Programs, Hellenic American University
“Arcweave made it remarkably easy for our MSc students with diverse backgrounds to engage with interactive narrative design. Its intuitive interface and clear visual structure supported both teaching and project creation, allowing students to focus on cultural storytelling, logic, and interaction rather than technical complexity.”
Angeliki Chrysanthi
Assistant Professor in Interactive Narrative and Digital Cultural Heritage, University of the Aegean
“Arcweave is both easy to learn and a powerful tool for interactive narrative design. The ability to immediately play the created stories is invaluable. We successfully use Arcweave in our video game narrative design course, where students learn to write stories, design narratives, and then peer-review each other’s creations.”
Raimond Tunnel
Head of the CGVR Study Lab in the Institute of Computer Science
“Arcweave is the easiest (no coding required) to get started game writing tool I know, but don’t let its ease of onboarding fool you, as it’s also one of the most advanced tools as well! There’s a reason I teach it in my game writing bootcamp, why I'm a guest judge for their game jam, & why I recommend it to everyone, because Arcweave is the best & easiest tool to design & write a narrative game, a branching quest, or write an interactive visual novel, & so much more!”
