In short, I highly recommend this software to anyone who is serious about making a video game. That said, here is my explanation as to why I say that. making a video game is not easy. You have a lot of tasks that need to be thought out and features to develop. In steps Articy:Draft 3 a tool that allows you to create your virtual world in one piece of software for export into you game engine of choice.

Now if you are like me and bought the Articy:Draft 2, you may ask yourself why upgrade? My answer, it depends upon your technical specs you want to get out of this software. Do you want to use XML and Excel or Word? Well then there isn't too many reasons why you would want to upgrade. Otherwise, I would upgrade as the JSON exporter alone made the choice for me. As a game developer, I needed JSON in order to read the exported documents in my proprietary Game Engine. The other upgrades are nice ease of life features, but the ability o produce JSON documents and the ability to make plugins was my deciding factor and I'd bet many other people made the same conclusion.

Also, a side note, I highly recommend you look into the voice over plugin for anyone who is working on a budgeted game. If you plan to add in voice acting, this is a great way to make sure everything is nice and easy to use for the people you hire to do your voice overs.
