Articy Software Releases Major articy:draft X Update to Boost Narrative Design Workflows
Friday, August 22, 2025
New plugin tools, smarter UI, and expanded developer capabilities enhance how teams build and manage interactive storytelling.
BOCHUM, Germany, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Articy Software GmbH & Co.KG has announced the release of a powerful new update for its flagship narrative design tool, articy:draft X. Tailored for game studios, narrative designers and tool developers alike, the update delivers a wide range of quality-of-life improvements, developer-focused enhancements, and a brand new plugin to prototype voiceovers.
Whether you're starting a new interactive story or returning to a long-paused game project, the latest version of articy:draft X makes it easier than ever to jump back in.
"This update reflects our commitment to empowering narrative creators at every level--whether they're writing solo, collaborating in teams, or extending the tool with custom-built workflows," says Carsten Schroeder, CEO of Articy Software GmbH & Co.KG
Smoother Start: UX/UI Improvements for project creation and import
Creating and importing projects is now more intuitive, with a series of interface refinements that streamline setup and reduce friction:
-- Cleaner Dialogs remove non-essential fields during project
creation--focus on the important bits first, add details later.
-- Smarter Field Validation helps spot errors at a glance with color-coded
icons and clear tooltips.
-- Navigation-Friendly Dialogs guide users through long forms, flagging
exactly where issues occur.
-- Editable Directory Fields let users paste in paths manually for faster
workflows.
-- Streamlined Source Control Management setup for multi-user (MU) projects
now flows logically from start to finish.
New Powers for Developers: Enhanced MDK Tools
Developers building custom tools and workflows can now do even more with improvements to the Macro Development Kit (MDK):
-- Configuration Framework makes creating persistable plugin data complete
with optional UI a breeze.
-- Plugin settings are now housed in a dedicated Plugin Configurations Tab.
-- Quick access to plugin features with Toolbar Extensions that integrate
your tools right into the UI.
-- Expanded Change Detection and Asset Callbacks offer more responsive and
accurate event handling.
-- New property types for Custom Export Settings unlock more expressive
plugin configurations.
Play with Voice: VO Extension Plugin for ElevenLabs
A standout addition in this release is the new VO Extension plugin, allowing seamless integration with ElevenLabs' voice synthesis technology.
Writers and developers can now preview synthesized voice overs directly inside their projects, fine-tune tone and pacing, and guide voice actors with precision--while also having a bit of fun testing out unexpected voice profiles.
Highlights include:
-- Access and manage your synthesized voice library through plugin-managed
templates.
-- Play audio files directly from within articy:draft.
-- Prototype tone, timing, and delivery to reduce re-recording loops.
Further Enhancements
This release also includes:
-- Searchable Dropdowns for easier handling of large template lists.
-- Localization Proofing Support, allowing the same language to be used as
both source and target in the localization export, great for internal
reviews.
-- SSO for Perforce, making logins easier and more secure for large teams.
And of course--additional bug fixes for a smoother, more stable experience. Full details can be found in the official change log.
From UI to plugin architecture, this release focuses on usability and extensibility--helping teams streamline their processes, test ideas faster, and build stronger narrative content. Whether you're a writer, designer, or developer, now is a great time to (re)discover articy:draft X.
