- | StudyCrafter utilizes the basic concept of storyboarding to create the research experiments. Each experiment in StudyCrafter is a Project. The different parts of the experiment are Scenes. Within each scene, the user can add a layout with characters, backgrounds, and objects. Those assets can then be scripted to allow for dialogue, movement, conditional branching, and layering. Once the scenes are created, you play the project. StudyCrafter autosaves in the background, so there is never a need to save your work. | + | StudyCrafter utilizes the basic concept of storyboarding to create the research projects.
