Articy:Draft 3 is a unique and powerful game design tool (we covered all the way back in 2016) that recently released a very robust free version. Articy:Draft can perhaps best be thought of as a hybrid of Microsoft Project/Visio specifically for game developers. It can be used to model gameplay flow as well as conversations, inventory, characters and more. Better yet, there are plugins for popular game engines including Unreal Engine and Unity, enabling you to use Articy:Draft 3 as a data management tool of sorts, where game designers define properties in Articy, which programmers can that access in the game engine.
