What's New

The product line formerly known as Worldbuilding Packages has been renamed to Fiction Frameworks across the entire site. The products themselves haven't changed — Maple Creek, Prometheus Protocol, and Shattered Throne are all still the same production-ready creative infrastructure they've always been. The new name just describes them more accurately: they're complete fictional universe frameworks built for writers, not hobbyist worldbuilding exercises.

Every page on the site has been updated to use the new terminology. If you see "Worldbuilding Packages" anywhere, it's a stale cache — clear it and reload.

The site footer now reads "Fiction Frameworks" across all pages.

Behind the scenes, every page on the site is now powered by a custom WordPress plugin that outputs the nav bar and footer from a single source of truth. Previously, each page had its own copy of the navigation and footer HTML baked in — meaning every update required editing 20+ files individually.

Now the nav and footer live in one PHP file. Change anything once, and it updates everywhere instantly. The Login link has been added to the top navigation as part of this rollout.

• Top nav: Pricing · About · FAQ · Login · Join — live on every page
• Footer: 4-column layout — Platform, Fiction Frameworks, Account, Legal
• What's New link added to footer Platform column
• Theme variants for each Fiction Framework (Maple Creek, Prometheus Protocol, Shattered Throne) — footer colors match the page brand

New nav — Login added between FAQ and Join.

New 4-column footer — Fiction Frameworks column replaces the old Worlds label.

The milestone release for beta launch. Three major feature pillars shipped together: the Beta Reporting suite, the Gamification system, and the Knowledge Base. All three are live across every deployment environment.

• Beta Reporting: Full dashboard for beta testers — activity tracking, feedback submission, session logging, and a progress timeline visible to admins
• Gamification: XP, level system, streak tracking, and achievement badges built into the writer workflow. Progress updates in real time as you work
• Knowledge Base: Searchable in-app documentation — article editor for admins, categorized browsing for members, accessible directly from the Lobby

The Author Lobby showing the gamification panel and Knowledge Base entry point — v3.40.0.

Beta Reporting — tester activity and feedback log.

Knowledge Base — categorized articles, searchable.

The platform launched publicly with the core four pillars: Storyverse Author (the production tracking app), Plot & Story Systems (1,000 beats across 15+ methodologies), Fiction Frameworks (Maple Creek, Prometheus Protocol, Shattered Throne), and the Nova Drift interactive universe map.

The marketing site, legal pages, member dashboard, and checkout flow all went live together. Membership tiers — Free, Explorer ($9), Navigator ($27) — opened for registration. Architect ($47) and Master Cartographer ($97) are scheduled for Summer and Winter 2026 respectively.

storyversesystems.com at launch — February 2026.
