Hi, everyone. I want to share with you an open source web tool that I’ve been working on. The focus is on creating interactive content from audiovisual material, such as small websites, narrative games, interactive videos, and the like. The name is TilBuci, and its construction is inspired by editors like Flash, with a similar functionality to CMSs, such as WordPress.
Oh, I’m glad you liked
This is an “after hours” project, so I must rely on a ready-to-use interface library to get the job done (https://feathersui.com/), but I’m currently using it without any modifications, just bare bones, but it does have many customization options.
Hello everyone. There is a new version of TilBuci available with updates to the desktop applications exporter (Windows, macOS and Linux), but the big news is that you can now try the software before even downloading and installing it! For a 7-day trial period, visit:
You will be able to try all the features of the software and export your creations to continue your work on your own TilBuci installation.
Oh, Twine was definitely one of the sources of inspiration. I’m still working on the basics of the software, but I do have some ideas on how to simplify its use for creating visual novel-type narratives. I believe that in the next version I’ll be able to bring a simplified way of creating menus among other more common widgets.
Hi, everyone. A new TilBuci version is available with several new features!
NEW BORDER EFFECT
Images now have a new effect: borders. You can set the color, strength and blur of the borders.
COLOR OVERLAY
The instance color menu now has an adjustment of overlay shapes, such as the traditional add, difference or multiply.
STATIC SCENES
You can now set scenes as “static”. When these scenes are open, TilBuci pauses at the end of each keyframe, not automatically following the animation. This allows greater control of the display when necessary.
CONTRAPTIONS
Version 8 brings a new feature, the “contraptions”, which are tools for simplifying the creation process. Initially, the creation of menus is available, which can be configured from the contraptios right menu and activated through the new contraption.menu command.
NEW COMMANDS
New actions are available for your interactions. For scene display control, scene.nextkeyframe, scene.previouskeyframe, scene.loadfirstkeyframe, scene.loadlastkeyframe and scene.loadkeyframe. For access control, system.visitoringroup. For menu display, contraption.menu and contraption.menuhide. Check out the latest version of the TilBuci Scripting Actions document to see what’s new.
BUG FIXES
The new version fixes all bugs found so far, including color adjustments for visitor input interfaces.
The new version is available from the software repository:
Hi, everyone! TilBuci version 9 is out with some new features:
MOVIE PROPERTIES
There is a new transition method between scenes, “none” (hard cut). In addition, it is now possible to set an animated icon (spritemap) to be displayed while a new scene is downloaded (loading icon).
NEW GENERAL GLOBAL
A new value is available in the general globals: “has the visitor ever clicked?”. With it, it is possible to know if there has been any type of interaction to allow automatic playback of media in browsers.
INSTANCE ZOOM
A new action is available: instance.zoom. When executed, the content of an instance (picture or video) takes up the entire screen while the movie content is paused. Clicking again causes the image to return to its normal size, resuming playback of the scene.
MOUSE OVER ACTIONS
For content aimed at devices with mouse interaction, it is now possible to set actions not only for clicks but also for the mouse over event.
