Creator guide
What an interactive film maker actually prepares
An interactive film begins with an original story, but it needs more than a finished script. A player needs moments where a decision has a visible consequence. The strongest starting point is a clear protagonist, a pressure that cannot be ignored, and two or three meaningful directions the story can take.
Yingyou Studio accepts original story material for review, then turns approved projects into a playable web experience with a dedicated sharing link. It is a creator workflow, not an instant publishing button: every submitted project receives a task ID and is reviewed before generation.
Before submission
Build choices around conflict, not decoration
Give the player a role
Define who the player is, what they know, and what they stand to lose. This makes each decision easier to understand.
Choose turning points
Find the moments where loyalty, evidence, trust, safety, or ambition pull the protagonist in different directions.
Plan distinct endings
Endings should reflect choices made along the way. They do not need to be numerous, but they should feel earned.
A practical outline
Map the story before you expand it
Open with a pressure point
In Verdict Live, the player begins with a public verdict already moving against Ava. Starting under pressure tells the player why a decision matters now.
Let choices change the next question
Do not create branches only to multiply scenes. A useful branch changes what the player knows, whom they can rely on, or the risk they carry into the next scene.
Return to the central question
An ending should answer the conflict introduced at the beginning. A smaller number of distinct, credible endings is stronger than many endings with no emotional difference.
Submission checklist
What to prepare
Prepare a working title, a concise premise, the main character and conflict, the pivotal decisions, and the outcomes you want those decisions to make possible. Write the story in a way another reader can follow without needing your private notes.
Only submit material you own or are authorised to use. Yingyou Studio reviews projects before generation, so the task ID is a record of the submission rather than a promise of instant publication.
Publishing
Keep control of how a work is seen
Published works can be public, private, or shared with a password. Public works may appear in the creator gallery. Private works remain visible to the creator, while password sharing gives friends access without making the project discoverable to everyone.
For an example of a finished public work, play Verdict Live, or see how choices work in a mythology setting in Chronicles of a Heavenly Foot Soldier.
