Arcweave posts Unity integration tutorial

Arcweave published a new Unity integration tutorial series on April 23 that walks developers from first setup to a working 3D role-playing game scene. (arcweave.com) The series is split into five parts: install and set up, demo scene architecture, Arcweave project structure, the 3D demo project, and template customization. Parts 1 and 2 already include video walkthroughs, and Arcweave said videos for the remaining parts are still coming. (arcweave.com) (docs.arcweave.com) Part 1 covers installing the Arcweave Unity plugin, exporting a narrative project from Arcweave, importing it into Unity, and checking that the story runs inside the engine. Arcweave’s Unity integration docs also describe “Export for Unity” and an option to include assets such as images or audio. (docs.arcweave.com 1) (docs.arcweave.com 2) Part 2 and Part 3 focus on how the narrative data moves through the game. Arcweave says the tutorial explains an event-driven setup, dialogue organized by non-player character, global variables, and entry and exit points for conversations. (docs.arcweave.com 1) (docs.arcweave.com 2) Part 4 turns that structure into a playable example. Arcweave says the 3D demo includes characters you can walk up to, conversations that change health bars and environmental effects, and a world that reacts to story choices. (docs.arcweave.com) Arcweave also published the example project on GitHub and a browser-based WebGL build on itch.io. The repository says the demo supports importing Arcweave projects from the web or local JSON, preloaded project support in builds, and runtime narrative updates without rebuilding. (github.com) (arcweave.itch.io) The GitHub readme says the sample works with Unity 6 or Unity 2022 Long Term Support, and that the included plugin can bind Arcweave variables to gameplay systems such as user interface colors, object activation, lighting, particles, and a sword ability unlocked at a story beat. (github.com) Part 5 shows how to swap in new portraits, dialogue triggers, and gameplay handlers. Arcweave’s docs tell developers to place portrait files in Unity’s Resources folder and attach handler scripts to GameObjects to watch named components from Arcweave. (docs.arcweave.com) The release adds to Arcweave’s existing engine integrations page, which lists official support for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot Engine, and custom pipelines through Arcweave JSON and web application programming interface docs. (arcweave.com) (docs.arcweave.com) For narrative designers, the new material is less a teaser than a teardown: Arcweave is now showing the full path from branching story data to a shippable Unity scene, with the project files open for inspection.
