Tesha's Lorebuilder - Free Cyberpunk Writing Suite

NEW!! - IMPORT FROM OBSIDIAN / EXPORT TO PDF!

Tesha’s Lorebuilder is a free offline cyberpunk worldbuilding suite for writers, GMs, game developers, and creators who hate subscription tools.

It is designed to streamline the process of building any lorebase imaginable while cutting out one of the most annoying parts of worldbuilding: constantly having to search for assets on your own.

This was created because of my general distaste for a modern day software landscape filled with subscriptions and boring interfaces that lack the interactivity I need to be motivated to use it every day. Now, instead of bouncing between Obsidian, image searches, spreadsheets, folders, maps, music, and paying money for half of it, Tesha’s Lorebuilder gives you one private desktop workspace where you can create, organize, visualize, and expand your world without breaking your focus. (Or your wallet.)

Create character profiles, manage factions, map relationships between key figures and groups, build linked location entries, track story beats, organize reference notes, create portraits using the included graphics library, design world maps, build branching timelines, listen to music while you work, and keep your lore connected easily and quickly.

Features include:

• Free. Fully free. Forever. No subscription model. No forced payment. No locked features. Never will be.
• Offline Desktop Workflow. Built for private, local worldbuilding on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Export and import from JSON to store your lorebase anywhere and easily share with others.
• Animated Reactive UI: Gone are the days of dead, boring software. Feel your lorebase through reactive UI animations, background music, sounds, and immersive UX designed to pull you inside the world you are building.
• Full Customization: Change color schemes, pin entries to the home screen, create your own soundpacks, set overlays, adjust visual behavior, and shape the workspace around the way you write.
• Character Grid: No more boring lists of characters. View every character at once through a game-like character selection screen.
  
• Mapper Module: Create visual relationship maps connecting important entities, locations, characters, factions, groups, and more in an interactive interface.
• Cartographer Module: Create island or region landmasses using an animated designer, then place points of interest across the map to serve as your world’s game map, story map, or campaign map.
• Portrait Creator Module: Create your own portraits directly inside the app using an included graphics library, reducing the need to hunt for outside assets every time you need a character image.
• Timeline Module: Create branching timelines with visible event links. Visualize multiple possible event paths, alternate outcomes, or track the actions of multiple characters across the same timeline.
• Music Player: Listen to music while you work on your lorebase. Tesha’s Lorebuilder comes with a pre-included pack of free music created by DavidKBD.
• Automatic Backups: Keep your lore safer while you work. Manual backups too.
• Linked References: Link references between entries so characters, factions, places, stories, notes, and events stay connected instead of rotting in separate files.

Who This Is For

Tesha’s Lorebuilder is built for Dungeon Masters, game developers, writers, worldbuilders, campaign creators, or really anybody like me who struggles to stay motivated while writing. I made this for you at no cost.

Enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Android version coming soon.

FAQ:

• Q: I'm running a potato. Can I still use Tesha's Lorebuilder?
• A: Yes, though you will likely have to use a minimalistic theme like the Retro theme and disable tilting in the application settings to reduce frame impact. Tesha's Lorebuilder uses a lot of interactive and 3D elements which can negatively impact the performance of some very low end devices. I tested this on an ROG Ally and an old Linux Laptop with no issues.
• Q: What is this software built with?
• A: Tesha's Lorebuilder is built on an Electron wrapper and utilizes React and Three.js for its graphical capabilities as well as a proprietary in-house sci-fi interface API developed by yours truly.
• Q: Will there be more features?
• A: Yes. Our module system allows me to easily develop and release new features without affecting your existing lorebase, as well as allows features to be toggled on and off to ensure this is not just Tesha's Lorebuilder, but yours as well. Over the next few months, this software will evolve into a powerhouse for game developers and gamemasters alike allowing for things like live session tracking between players, the ability to allow your players to connect via their phones, and much more.
