%Fungus is a tool which makes it easy to add colourful characters and craft gripping storylines in your game, even if you have never used <ahref="http://unity3d.com"target="_blank">Unity</a> before. Our intuitive interface lets everyone create beautiful story games easily - <b>for free and with no coding</b>!
%Fungus is popular with writers, illustrators, animators and game designers, especially visual novel & interactive fiction authors. Many people using %Fungus are creating games in Unity for the very first time. It is a popular choice for game jams and game design courses.
We believe that interactive storytelling should be accessible to everyone, so %Fungus is <b>100% free & open source</b>. It works great with both the free and pro versions of Unity 3D. %Fungus is inspired by other great open source storytelling tools like [Twine], [Ren'Py] and [Scratch].
The %Fungus community is very welcoming and helpful to newcomers. Many people using %Fungus have never used Unity or even made a game before, so feel free to ask questions on our [community forum]. Helping other people with their questions is a fantastic and very welcome way to contribute back to the community.
We welcome all sorts of contributions to %Fungus. You can report bugs, suggest new features, contribute source code, write an article, help answer questions on the forums or even just tell your friends about the project!
[Dr. Matt Smith] has kindly contributed the written documentation for the %Fungus project. If you're new to Unity development then a great source of information, ideas and sample projects is his [Unity 5.x Cookbook], by Matt and [Chico Queiroz].
[Paul Mc Grath] is Animator / Designer / Film-maker at Whackala. He contributed the @ref tutorial_videos for this site as well as creating the @ref training_course. Special thanks also to [Vicky Lee] and [Coding Grace] who have helped us to organise loads of %Fungus workshops,
%Fungus wouldn't be possible without all the awesome people in our community who have contributed to the project and supported us in myriad ways. Thank you all!
