Let’s Talk About What’s Next For Choices

Hi everyone,

Today, we want to share our vision for the future of Choices, and how we’re investing in the stories you love.

The Vision: More Content, Better Tools

Our investment in Choices content is increasing. To deliver the high-quality stories and diverse representation you expect, we’ve been evolving our internal technology stack and workflows. We’ve reached the limits of what our older systems could do, and are implementing new tools and workflows using our RUN platform to help us create even more incredible characters and storylines.

Traditional IF and "The Power of And"

We want to be very clear about our commitment to Interactive Fiction. The traditional Choices format is the heart of what we do.

• We are committed to continuing to ship traditional Choices IF content through August as laid out in our shared release schedule.

• At the same time we are working in parallel to bring the high-quality visual, customization, and functional IF standards to RUN so we can continue to bring you new Choices stories in the format you love.

• Hero: Homecoming represents an opportunity for us to explore Choices stories in different modals and formats. We’re excited to see how these new ways of storytelling can live alongside the books you already know and love.

Moving Forward Together

We know that seeing change in progress can lead to questions, and we want to be more transparent about our journey, even the parts that are still evolving. We’re excited about the opportunity of building a more robust, dynamic content system, and we’re grateful to have a community that cares enough to hold us to a high standard. We’ve been following the conversations across Discord, Reddit, and our social channels closely, and are committed to keeping this dialogue open as we move into this next chapter of Choices. Thank you for being part of the journey.
