Welcome to Bonfire!
Bonfire is the ultimate platform for rapidly creating cross-platform interactive experiences.
Designed specifically with storytellers and content creators in mind, Bonfire significantly reduces the time it takes to turn your ideas into reality.
In Bonfire, an experience is known as a Book, which consists of bite-sized “levels” or “scenes” called Chapters. Chapters consist of background geometry known as Maps, with interactive elements known as Sparks. Sparks are the foundational building block of Bonfire and can be anything from a button on a panel to a tree, a Non-Player Character, a sword, a chair… you name it. If it's something you should be able to interact with, it's a Spark.
Books, Chapters, Maps, and Sparks all live as separate files on your computer, allowing for immense reusability and quick customization.
Bonfire comes packed with assets to start your journey, but we don’t expect things to end there. You can quickly import your creations using the built-in Spark Utility or the supplemental Sparkifier app. Pair custom artwork with one of our many Spark Templates to bring them to life with animations, logic, and more.
Don’t see a template that fits what you’re after?
Custom Spark Templates can be made using the Sparkifier App and our Ember scripting language.
Bonfire's intuitive Chapter Tree enables you to craft intricate branching narratives effortlessly in a "choose-your-adventure" style experience.
Go as linear or non-linear as desired, with complete control over what triggers a player to jump from one chapter to the next.
Traits allow you to modify the exposed properties of a Spark with ease.
When you make your Sparks, you, as the Spark Author, control what Traits are shown and what they do.
From paint color to run speed and almost anything else you can think of, you can make a Trait for that, allowing Book authors to customize it per Spark Instance.
Behaviors are broken into two simple categories: Causes and Effects.
Causes are things that Players can do to Sparks (like attack or interact), while Effects are things that Sparks can do in reaction to a Cause.
Create complex interactives by stringing Causes and Effects together in endless combinations.
NOTE: There are also Modifiers: Bonfire-native nodes that allow for changing Chapters, executing Ember scripts, debug tools, and more.
Ember is our runtime scripting language that allows veteran and new coders alike to write code and keep it bound to nodes in the Behavior tree.
This lets you have the flexibility of coding without having to compile and without having to ensure everyone else on your team knows how to code as well.
Today, it has a rather limited set of features, but we will be expanding its capabilities with each update.
Whether you want to play-test your creations or share them with your friends, Bonfire allows you to quickly distribute your content to players across a wide range of devices (currently, only desktop and PC VR, but mobile and standalone VR support will be released soon).
Within the Share menu, choose Debug for testing without sharing or Release to share with the world.
By default, all shared books are publically accessible to all. In later releases, higher license tiers will roll out, allowing you to privatize your creations, monetize them, and more.
Dive into Bonfire and start bringing your stories to life with unparalleled ease and creativity.
