About

Backlight Gem is a comprehensive narrative management solution tailored for interactive storytelling in game development. It combines intuitive scriptwriting tools with branching, scalable narratives, automatically generating a clear data model to support voice-over and localization processes. The platform features a screenplay-style editor, allowing writers to craft stories seamlessly, while its dynamic data modeling extracts script information in real time to inform the development pipeline. Gem's collaborative environment enables teams across design, audio, production, and localization to work together efficiently. Its REST API facilitates integration with existing game development tools, ensuring that narrative elements are cohesively woven into the overall design. By providing a centralized hub for narrative design, Backlight Gem empowers creators to focus on storytelling without being hindered by technical complexities.

About

First Read is a voice-profiling development platform for professional screenwriters. Through a structured interview (roughly 30 minutes), it maps a writer's creative instincts, then evaluates their work against those personal standards at every stage of development, from concept to production draft. Unlike AI writing tools that generate generic text, First Read leads with evaluation: feedback grounded in the writer's own creative values, not universal rules. The platform covers the full TV/film development pipeline, exports to industry-standard FDX format, and includes document generation for pitch materials filtered through each writer's Voice Profile. Free 7-day trial, no credit card required.
