TilBuci

TilBuci is a free, open source tool to create interactive content. From a visual web interface, you can gather your media, texts, and all content in the form of interactive "movies" that can be exported as websites, embedded via iframes, made available as PWA apps or even as mobile and desktop applications.

You can use TilBuci in the cloud from a web server installation, as a portable desktop application for various systems, and also as a WordPress* plugin.

Multiple forms of interaction
Navigating content created in TilBuci can be done in various ways, including using mouse, touch screens, keyboards, or even game controllers. It's even possible to set different graphics for visual feedback during navigation.

Tools for creating interactive stories
TilBuci has several features that simplify the creation of narrative stories, including a dialogue creation tool, the decision flow, the inventory management and the card battle system.

Accessibility
To broaden the reach of content created using TilBuci, the tool has several accessibility-focused features, accessed through actions. The first is the application of color shaders, not to "correct" colors, but to improve their perception by people with color vision deficiency. A second feature is the focus mode, designed to reduce the activity and saturation of colors in less important elements on the screen. Finally, TilBuci has an action that sends a descriptive text that can be captured by the page where the content is included, and can be used, for example, by screen readers, such as sign language readers.

QR code support

TilBuci natively supports QR code reading. This feature simplifies the creation of content that visitors can locate using printed codes. You have a code generator in the editor interface, and reading can be done both from within your exported content and using mobile device camera apps.

Web and desktop software

TilBuci is a web software with several multi-user features for collective creation. However, there are cases where local use by just one person may be necessary. With that in mind, we now have a desktop version, presented as a portable software that can be copied to your computer or even to external drives, without the need for installation. The portable version is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS (x64-based architectures). Note that when performing in this way, TilBuci's server functions, such as visitor identification (login) or cloud data storage, will not be available, but creations made in the desktop version can be easily exported and imported to a server installation in the usual way.

TilBuci is also available as a WordPress plugin, integrating functionalities from both software programs. To learn more and see the installation steps, visit https://plugin.tilbuci.com.br/
