Build Your World with Books, Chapters, and Sparks

In Bonfire, your interactive story is a "Book," composed of bite-sized "Chapters" (levels or scenes). Each Chapter is built on a "Map" (background geometry), populated with interactive "Sparks." Sparks are the core interactive elements, from buttons and trees to NPCs and interactive objects. Customize your world by using a wide array of sparks. Bonfire architecture's emphasis on reusability and customization makes it easy to build games.

Expand your interactive world by importing custom assets using the built-in Spark Utility and Sparkifier app. Combine your artwork with our diverse Spark Templates to bring your creations to life with animations and logic. Want even more control? Create custom Spark Templates with the Sparkifier app and our Ember scripting language.

Create Branching Narratives and Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Games

Bonfire's intuitive Chapter Tree empowers you to craft intricate branching narratives in a compelling "choose-your-own-adventure" style. Design linear or non-linear pathways, controlling precisely how players transition between chapters. For indie game developers who wish to create decision-driven games, Bonfire engine is the perfect starting point.

Customize and Personalize with Traits

Easily customize Sparks by modify their exposed properties using Traits. As a Spark Author, you define which Traits are available and how they function. From color to speed, Traits empower Book authors to personalize each Spark instance within their interactive experiences. Bonfire allows you to focus on what is important: storytelling.

No Coding Required: Create Dynamic Interactions with Causes and Effects

Bonfire simplifies interaction design with Causes and Effects. Causes are player actions that trigger responses in Sparks (e.g., attack, interact). Effects are the actions Sparks perform in response to a Cause. String Causes and Effects together in endless combinations to create complex interactive scenarios, all without coding.
