EDIT: Livestream is over. You can catch the replay here. A few other things not mentioned, so I will throw them out for curious folks.

StoryTeller is ActionScript3, built in Flex. It makes use of the fantastic as3isolib. It’s packaged and distributed as an AIR Application. Never doubt the power of Flash. =)

I’ll be doing a livestream today at 2:30 PM. In this livestream, I’ll be demonstrating our tool StoryTeller.

StoryTeller is our toolkit for Emerald Kingdom. I have said many times, you don’t really “write an MMO”….you write tools to create an MMO. StoryTeller is our tool, and our take on how to create worlds. StoryTeller will eventually be Open Sourced, and available to everyone. Combined with our server, SWFConduit (which is already Open Sourced, you can find it here) it will allow people with creativity to develop virtual worlds and games without necessarily needing a programmer, an artist, etc. While those things are surely helpful, they shouldn’t be a an insurmountable barrier to entry.

We here at Double Cluepon think there are a great many creative types who would be doing more in the gaming sphere…if they had tools which allowed them to express their creativity. It’s our hope that SWFConduit and StoryTeller will eventually allow people with creativity to worry less about needing a programmer so they can focus on creating. We are not looking to re-create other servers or other tools. We’re looking to demystify some of the more technical back end elements that keep people from creating…and do so without needing a small fortune to do so.
So, while StoryTeller is still in development, and rough…it’s stable enough that we are using it to create the Alpha world of Emerald Kingdom. That said, we also feel it’s stable enough to show people who are interested in what we are doing. While our developers are working on the Alpha client for the beginning of Alpha Testing….now is the time to give you a peek into our world.

See you there!
