Here are a few guidances for your stories:

• ~50 paths is a good length for an episode
• put checkpoints regularly if you’re using “bad end” option in your story
• keep the same style for image generation (anime, digital art, or comic)
• use hotspots for exploration and global choices for dialogue
• horizontal images are best for exploration and vertical for dialogue but you can experiment with different uses
• use locks to reward the player for their decisions
• if you need to go back to a previous scene you have 3 options:
  • if you have only one level of depth → use the Continue option
  • if you have several level of depth → use a link + set alt choice
  • alternatively, you can recycle the original scene to create a new path
• you’re free to write on any topic, you just have to respect what’s stated in our content policy (22.4 on the terms page)
• make sure that the player can never be stuck
