Greetings Adventurers! JOL Studios is very glad to make its biggest announcement since our early days here on Steam as a Steam Early Access title. We are talking about: User Generated Content (or UGC)! We've been teasing and hinting about UGCs for Just One Line since the beginning but today we want to give you a little more details on what you can expect from them. As of 2018(*), you -Adventurers- will be able to exploit the Steam Workshop for:

Quests: create your own adventures and have others have fun playing them as well!
Skins: create new textures for weapons and armors in the Armory.
Variants: create new 3D models for weapons and armors in the Armory.

About Skins & Variants: we will publish brief technical guidelines to help you create contents the right way. Your content will be voted by the Community and the most unique and upvoted will be included in the game.

About the Quests: you will be able to create your own stories. This will be possible thanks to a software we call Quest Editor! This powerful tool will be feature-complete as the one we currently use to create the main quests but it will be much more user-friendly and it will come with a set of new features specifically designed for the Community... Get ready to share your adventures with all the Adventurers in the Kingdom! You will be able to:

Create brand new stories.
Make up your own characters: tustworthy allies or fearsome enemies?
Write about new and extraordinary locations.
Create events for the player to take part in.
Choose what to check when branching your storyline (attributes, relationships, race, background, gender, etc!).
Choose the consequences for the player's actions!
Add traps, fights and (de)buffs!
Link your quest(s) with other player's quests or with your previous quests. Create follow-up quests (or prequels).
Make the game remember about specific events during your quests.
Set a privacy level for each quest you make. This will let you choose whether to allow other players to reference your quest or not.
Use an in-tool feature to play-test your quest long before submitting it in order to fix bugs and make sure it is fun to play.
Create alternative stories (branches) for already published quests.
Tag and filter quests by genre/setting/age rating/language/etc once they hit the Workshop.
Lastly, you will be able to submit the quests to the Steam Workshop of course. The best and high-quality quests -by JOL Studio's approval- will be added to the game and the Community will be able to rate them.

The best thing about the Quest Editor is that it will be completely free for anyone with a Steam copy of the game! Last but not least, content creators may even make a profit out of their Steam Workshop items. Before we sign out we would like to talk a bit about an upcoming patch. We are going to release a big content update in the near future. You can definitely expect it to be big, it will be a Time Rift update (3 quests) + Quest Pack (2 new quests), and it will include other contents as well, so... stay tuned! Lastly, JOL Studios is going to participate as exhibitor in Modena Nerd 2017, an Italian trade show taking on September 16-17. Be sure to follow us! For the time being, this is all, Adventurers! If you want more details please visit our Community Hub or come and join our Discord to have a chat with the devs! - The King's humble servants. (*) Early alpha releases might come before.

Just One Line is a fantasy RPG gamebook-like indie game heavily focused on choices and their consequences, in which you may compete with other players in an interactive online leaderboard.
Create different adventurers by choosing their races and backgrounds and embark on a variety of epic quests: each adventurer will progress by increasing his/her renown and relations with the factions of the Kingdom thus unlocking new races and backgrounds for your next playthroughs.

Even though the core game experience is a text-adventure 2.0, anyone, of any age, who likes fantasy RPGs or books should give it a try. In fact, Just One Line has many great features appealing to a broader audience:

CHOICES MATTER
A lot of games say so, but a few truly mean it. Most of the quests in Just One Line are linked together and have different story paths according to your race, background, attributes and, more importantly, choices made in previous quests.
ENDLESS GAME EXPERIENCE
The video game itself is a framework upon which countless quests may be created and played. By exploiting user generated content and partnering with writers, Just One Line could potentially provide ever-growing contents!
YOUR ADVENTURER, YOUR STORY
Create your adventurers as you see fit. Start by choosing a race and a background, follow up with some aesthetic customization and finally shape him/her into a valorous hero or a ruthless villain. Their morality and honor changes according to your in-game choices.
WILL YOU BE THE BEST?
When you resign your adventurer you can compete with other players in the online leaderboard to be the most renowned/good/evil/rich(/whatever!) adventurer of the Kingdom!
HIGH REPLAY VALUE
Each quest has choices, or even entire story paths, only available after certain conditions are met and/or depending on previous quests’ choices! Every time you play with different adventurers, the story changes.
ALL ABOUT IMMERSION
We feature a unique set of locations with a fancy toon graphics and a mesmerizing OST to aid your imagination when embarking on epic quests. You will be amazed!
SHORT STORIES, DEEP STORIES
We believe that wall of texts are not needed for engaging desktop players. Quest telling is rich and thrilling yet not too darn long.
INNOVATIVE YET CONSERVATIVE
The concept of our game is a breath of fresh air! However, you can expect everything a role-playing gamer has come to know and love: races, classes, skills, magic, powerful weapons and armors… Oh! And dragons, zombies and pirates too!

Early Access Features

3 Races out of 4.
6 Backgrounds out of 10.
10 Quests and counting.
Online leaderboard.
23 Armors.
29 Weapons.
29 Potions and Trinkets.
Two languages: English and Italian.
More to be added later

The main focus of this Early Access is to increase the game longevity (please also read the Early Access section above): the quest pack will be expanded as the game development goes by. User created quests will be added via Steam Workshop to a separate set of quests.
About the plot: Even though the game will feature a main story, it will only emerge as more quests are added to the game. The main story is already referenced by other quests in the game at the moment. Eventually, one or more playable quests about the main story will be added to the game; until then, the players must think of the quests as tasks -or help requests- from the people of the Kingdom, each somehow linked to many others (by cause-effect relationship) sharing the same game lore and background but not the same main story, as a traditional gamebook would. The adventurer is not (yet) a "chosen one", but rather a lad/lassie seeking his or her fortune!

Performance Notes

Just One Line is in development and undergoing optimizations. As the development continues and the community gives us feedback, performance will get better. The game suffers a slow one-time initial loading on mechanical hard drives.

Please Note

We are not planning to and will do our best to avoid game saves to become incompatible over time or to wipe the online leaderboard. Should it be the case, we will give the users prior notice and try to work out the best solution possible to avoid any unexpected data loss.

Quests already shipped may be updated in the future and the prerequisites/choices/consequences in newly added quests may depend on those updates. This could result in some "plot inconsistencies" or minor issues if playing with adventurers created before given updates.
