Drafft

What Drafft is

Drafft is an offline-first editor for interactive narrative systems and game design data. It organizes dialogue trees, scripts, variables, quests, items, and game design documents in one workspace. The dialogue editor handles branching nodes, choices, conditions, switches, events, linked scripts, and undo or redo. A simulator checks conditions and control flow against temporary state without running the game. Its optional UAF syntax adds structure to plain text. The GDD editor supports Markdown, linked documents, embedded media, and JSON export. Drafft exports structured JSON for game engines and can tailor output to target formats. Projects stay local by default and work offline. Optional collaboration uses a CouchDB-compatible server configured by users, with item locking during edits. An optional REST API works only while Drafft runs with a loaded project. It is paid, offers a seven-day trial without a card, and supports Linux, macOS, Windows, API use, and self-hosting.
