articy:draft 2 SE introduces the all-new document editor, allowing you to write living design documents like system design and game mechanics documents.
Everything in articy:draft SE‘s documents is connected to the powerful cross-referencing system at the core of articy:draft SE. Just link to the other elements in articy:draft SE for quick access from your documents.
Include images conveniently - they will be kept up-to-date in documents when you change the source file.
Write dialogue as quickly as in FinalDraft® with script formatting while actually producing game-ready data, ready for localization and voice-overs.
The powerful text formatting options added for the document view are also available for other texts in articy:draft SE, including text in nodes, entities and location descriptions.
You can now also include links in your texts. Just drag & drop an object onto a description text to insert a link. This link will stay intact even when you rename or move the source.
Export your texts to Microsoft Word®, and all formatting and linking will be preserved.
Enable spellchecking and rest assured that your texts are typo-free. Download new language packs and choose from a selection of more than 25 languages. Let articy:draft SE fix your typos, with smart correction proposals.
With the new “Excel roundtrip” you can export your data to Excel, do your calculations and re-import the data back into your articy:draft SE database. Balancing values just got a lot faster!
The new Location Groups allow easy editing of multiple objects in the location editor. And the Calculated Asset strips let you customize what they contain (and automatically display) for each object type.
And, of course, articy:draft 2 SE includes the new in-app tutorial.
