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:
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| Character | A portrait-style card for an AI character with name, stats, and lore |
| Scene | A visual composition — location, mood, characters placed in a setting |
| Story | A branching interactive narrative with choices and consequences |
| World | A 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)
