Creating your first Fortune world

You can use Fortune's online creator to create a Fortune world without having to download or install the game engine or dependencies.

Creating a basic Fortune world with no custom scripting elements or logic is a very straightforward process. See our online web creator here for an editor and preview renderer: https://fortune.day/create.

Two rooms can be linked together via a single prompt in a JSON file. This example also shows how an item can be given when a prompt is successfully entered, and how a room or prompt can require that item in order for entry to be given.

This animated GIF is the results of the JSON game data below.
