Ink Journey is a location-based writing application I am currently developing for mobile.
Discover stories, notes and journal entries left by people in the local area or write your own and place them on the map for others to find.
Engage in Events that take you on a tour around the city with many interesting narratives (both factual and fictional) to discover as you go.
For this independent project I’m using Unity (C#) to develop the app.
The App uses the Google Maps API in order to track the users position and the position of story entries, which are stored online and accessed by the application.
Users can add themes to their stories which currently changes the background and music that plays alongside the story, however I will soon be adding fonts and an AI Text to Speech feature that will read out the text in real-time. Users would be able to choose a voice they think suits their story and it’s theme.
