Project Description
I am looking for an experienced developer or studio to build an interactive storytelling mobile app for iOS and Android, similar to Episode, Chapters, and Romance Club. This is a serious project and I am looking for someone who has specifically built this type of app before and can demonstrate a published live example.
What the App Needs:
Story Engine
Branching choices and dialogue system
Save and load functionality
Variables, flags, and relationship tracking
Ruby locked premium choices
Character System
Fully layered character customization for both the main character and love interest
Readers must be able to create and customize their own main character and love interest when introduced in the story
Character creation must be triggered by the author at the right point in the narrative — not forced on the reader at app launch
Expressions and emotion variants
Clothing, hair, skin tone, and accessory layers
LGBT story configuration — authors can set same gender love interest options so the app does not default to opposite sex only
Children and older character variants
Background System
Background library with scene assignment
Scene transitions including fade, slide, and dissolve
Background uploader for authors
Audio System
Background music per scene
Ambient sound and sound effects
Author Tools
In-app story editor
Episode and scene management
Asset manager
Preview mode
Monetization
Ruby and kiss currency system
Subscription tiers
Lucky spin wheel
Daily rewards
UI/UX
Main menu, story selection, library
Character customization screens
Settings, profile, history screens
In-app store
Backend
Custom built production backend — no third party templates
Author portal
Admin panel
User management
