What’s New

The Project History is now available for Team plans. It lets you view, navigate, and restore previous versions of your project via a timeline. Each version shows which user made changes, when, and what actions were recorded. Restoring a version is non‑destructive: Arcweave creates a new version so nothing is lost.

Get ready for a fun weekend of creativity, collaboration, and interactive storytelling!

Cohosted by the IGDA Game Writing SIG and Arcweave, this 72-hour online jam invites writers, narrative designers, and interactive storytellers to create compelling, story-driven games using Arcweave.

The Game Writing SIG Arcjam is a 3-day, online game jam dedicated to the craft of interactive writing and narrative design. From Friday to Sunday, participants around the world will collaborate (or go solo) to create a playable story experience entirely within the Arcweave environment.

The jam is designed to empower writers and narrative designers to create new, original portfolio pieces and strengthen the game writing community. It's an inclusive, skill-building, creativity-fueled, and 100% community-driven event, where experimentation and collaboration take center stage.

🗓️ Jam dates: November 21–24, 2025 (72 hours)
🗳️ Results announced: December 8, 2025

💡 How to submit: Build in Arcweave and submit via itch.io

Arcweave's Play Mode can now be embedded directly into any webpage. A simple HTML snippet is all you need. What this means:

• You can place a fully playable version of your interactive project on your website, blog, portfolio, or documentation.

• Readers and players can interact with your narrative immediately, without being redirected elsewhere.

• Once embedded, it stays in sync with your project: updates in Arcweave are reflected automatically.

This is one of the most requested sharing features from our community, and it's now available for all Arcweave users! Let your interactive work live directly where your audience is. 😎

Creating and navigating your projects in Arcweave is now faster and more intuitive thanks to enhanced keyboard shortcuts. You can add new elements, switch between editing modes, and move around your board without constantly reaching for your mouse.

Discover how these tools can speed up your creative process and keep your workflow simpler. Read our docs or click the question mark (?) at the bottom right of your project and open Shortcuts.

We’ve added a new, more direct way to upload assets in Arcweave. You can now drag files from your file explorer straight into the app. This improvement simplifies the process of adding visuals to your boards, reducing extra steps and making asset management more efficient.

Are you looking for some inspiration? We've added two fresh templates to help you get started faster and explore what Arcweave can do:

• Visual Novel Example: Create your own visual novel in Arcweave. Use the Style Editor to shape its look and explore Play Mode to see your story in action.

• Serious Games Example (Cybersecurity Awareness): Create a serious game or training scenario. Set a clear goal, such as teaching cybersecurity, and design situations where players can make choices and see the consequences.

👉 You can find both in the project templates, when creating a new project.
