TapBot is an open source project to build an immersive story engine. At its most basic TapBot should enable simple narratives or stories with a single-path structure. At the more advanced end TapBot should allow artists to experiment with interactive narratives, multi-path structure, and true player agency.
Immersive story is dramatic narrative for the metaverse, where a player interacts in real time with computer controlled NPCs and virtual environments. Having failed at screenwriting, I've been consumed by the idea of immersive story and how it could just be the killer app of the metaverse.
I'm a social computing strategist by day who spends his free time exploring anything related to immersive story and trying to flesh out requirements for an immersive story engine (TapBot).
