Well, this is a gamechanger. Definitely going to try this in my city. storycity.app brings the spirit of adventure and the fun of storytelling into one cohesive experience. Here are the few things I loved: - Unique concept - Wide range of story templates - Spoiler mode A few observations: - Overall brand identity might look outdated to some, just an observation. I could be wrong - Safety, how would Storycity ensure the locations and adventures are safe to pursue. I am sure, you guys have thought about it too. Keep up the good work guys. @emilycraven @justinkhan @brettludwig Full tweet here: https://twitter.com/GrowWithTLP/...

@justinkhan @brettludwig @tlpeter Hi TL can't thank you enough for the in depth dive you did into the product thank you, thank you, thank you, for this glorious feedback! Would you mind if Justin reached out to you to get your specific thoughts on which UI/UX piece you'd specifically like to see improved? Would really appreciate it. As to the safety side of things - At the moment we are personally reviewing every story that comes through our system but that isn't long term sustainable as we grow. So we have started developing a system similar to what Niantic use with Pokemon Go where you leverage the community knowledge of the area, gamify it a little, to get their input on what locations may/may not be considered safe and then providing suggested changes back to the creator after enough input (say 15-20 people giving their thoughts).

Hello Product Hunt! I'm Brett Ludwig, CTO at Story City. I'm thrilled to share our latest achievement with you - the Story City Creator Tools. Developing these tools was quite the adventure in itself, filled with coding marathons, brainstorming sessions, and a fair share of head-scratching moments. But every challenge faced was an opportunity to learn and improve, pushing us towards a result we're incredibly proud of. These tools are a canvas for your creativity, an opportunity to bring your city and stories to life. Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or just starting your journey, these tools are for you. They're user-friendly, fun, and just waiting for your creativity to bring them to life. So, dive in and start creating - your stories have the power to move, entertain, and inspire. Can't wait to see the amazing stories you'll create. Let's get started! All the best, Brett Ludwig

Hey Product Hunt! Justin here, Head of Product at Story City. Really looking forward to hearing your feedback on what works, what feels sticky, and what you’d like to see on the platform in the future! Some uses we’ve see so far from early users include: - Escape-room owners who want to expand their offerings in a cost effective way that doesn’t take up their real-estate - Non-Profits wanting to fundraise or tell the story of their impact - Business Improvement Districts wanting to get more foot-traffic past their businesses - Cities wanting to revitalize downtown cores or lead people to newly finished infrastructure and parks - Festivals wanting to augment physical experiences with more long-running digital ones that are available 24/7 during an event (and can exist beyond the event as marketing for the next year) - Game-writers or theatre makers who are non-technical but want to experiment - Creators who want to create interactive versions of their content (eg. podcasters who want to offer an ‘experience’ version of their episodes - think following Serial journalists through Baltimore during the first season! Or perhaps behind the scenes film tours, or literary tours of their book series) Some things we have in the pipeline for development over the next 12 months: - Analytics: so you know how many people move from view, to purchase, to completion - Unfurling Social Sharing and Deep linking: So people can easily spread the word about your experiences and you can link directly to you specific story via marketing collateral - Improved Searchability & Discovery: Making stories searchable by their tags and genres and cities - Push notifications: So users who played one of your previous experiences can discover your new releases - Universal Stories: The ability for creators to make a story that can be placed in any city using similar landmarks (a town hall, a park, a post office etc), and for an adventurer to place stories in cities that don’t have any bespoke experiences yet. I’ll be here answering questions so feel free to drop me a line! Cheers! Justin

I love the idea! one feedback is the colour scheme may not be working for you, some of the gray colour and text font makes it feel like an older website, a few design tweaks will help make it pop

@mel3kings really appreciate this feedback. We haven't done a full art/ui pass on the creator tools like we have with the app as we wanted to get the functionality/ux right first but appreciate it's beta state could hurt first impressions. Thank you for taking the time to go through them and please let us know if you have any other thoughts!

@mel3kings thanks Melchor! As Emily said this is without a graphic design pass just yet. You can see our brand colors and design on the adventure app itself (Story City on Google Play / Apple App Store), and we're going to be incorporating those into our Creator Tools soon here. Appreciate the feedback!

This is a really awesome Idea! Just a tip I would really work a bit on design colors and logos to make it look more modern because it seems like an old used that is not used anymore Hope you get my point but the idea is Great I think it will go well :)

@dlexk Many thanks for dropping by with your feedback, really appreciate it. Just wanted to confirm if you were talking about the design of the creator tools, or the design of the app? Or just branding in general? On the creator tool side we definitely want to do a UI art pass of our creator tools which we've held off on until we got the flow/functionality right (part of the reason for doing this launch to grab that functionality feedback!). But we're definitely making that a priority!

Discovered these legends years ago - while they were between events Adore their concept. As a Creative it inspired my ideas - and thank the Cyber Goddess I joined their email list. 1. Forgot the email, I was sent, to be involved with them as a Creative, the other year (and you are not forgettable - my brain needs a massive de-clutter/de-frag) - 2. Emailed me yesterday and led me to Product Hunt. Hope to see you @AdelaideFringe 2024
