Frequently Asked Questions

Question: "Are any plans for a mobile version of the app? The harahel cyoa itself is playable on Android but dunno if thats viable for the cyoa maker itself."

Answer: "Yes. It's a bit more work, but if the app gains traction and people want it, it is something I would like to create. I think the player/library portion of TLoH would be beautiful to have on mobile. I don't think the editor would be a comfortable experience on mobile so I might just skip over that half."

Question: "Okay, question on how colors work: does the prefab become a new base layer, such that editing the colors on the resulting choice in the cyoa will double-down on the color? That is, if I want the choice's color to match the prefab, should the choice's individual color settings be set to white?"

Answer: "The prefab acts as a holder of defaults. You can change the colors on choices to whatever you want after assigning a prefab to them. And if you hit the reset button to the right of the individual properties, it will reset it back to the prefab default. That should work for most properties. Not just colors, but text too.

Now here's the neat part, when you updated a property on your prefab, that change should propagate to all choices which are using that prefab, and have said property set to the prefab default."
