What is the Fortune metaverse engine?

Fortune is an open-source metaverse creation engine and platform, inspired by interactive fiction and text adventure games, as well as the metaverse from Neil Stephenson's cyberpunk novel Snow Crash.

Game worlds created share state and data, allowing for persistent player progression throughout as well as co-operative and multiplayer functionalities. Game data is populated by JSON data or built programmatically with the engine API.

Since metaverse data and player states are exportable, tools can (and will eventually) be created to ingest Fortune game worlds into a multitude of other mediums such as a fully 3D and VR-compatible metaverse, or a third-party platform like Decentraland or Horizon Worlds. Players will be able to interact with the Fortune metaverse in different formats and devices, including text forms like Discord or using native graphical applications, with features automatically becoming available depending on the medium.
