Getting Started

Welcome to TLWR — a creative platform for AI characters, scenes, and interactive stories.

What is TLWR?

TLWR is a visual editor + community platform that lets you:

  • Design AI characters, scenes, and world-building assets in a powerful drag-and-drop editor
  • Generate portraits, backgrounds, and visual elements using AI generation
  • Publish your creations to a growing community gallery
  • Share interactive stories that players can experience in a browser

Quick Start

1. Open the Editor

Head to editor.tlwr.app — no account needed to start creating. The editor runs entirely in your browser; your work saves locally.

2. Create your first project

In the editor, click New Project and choose a type:

TypeWhat it is
CharacterA portrait-style card for an AI character with name, stats, and lore
SceneA visual composition — location, mood, characters placed in a setting
StoryA branching interactive narrative with choices and consequences
WorldA container for characters, scenes, and the lore connecting them

3. Add content

Use the Layer panel on the right to add elements:

  • Drag in a background from the component library
  • Add a character layer and use AI generation to create a portrait
  • Annotate with text, tags, and lore entries

4. Export or Publish (Phase 2)

Export your project as a portable archive, or — once your account is set up — publish it to the TLWR community gallery.


System Requirements

The editor runs in any modern browser. For the best experience:

  • Chrome 120+ or Firefox 120+ or Safari 17+
  • 8 GB RAM recommended for AI generation features
  • Stable internet connection for generation (local editing works offline)
