Storyloom

In the March 2022 Choices Insider, Pixelberry announced they were working on a new product and encouraged players to sign up for the closed beta test. Players would be emailed if they were chosen for the rounds of closed beta testing, which began on or around April 4, 2022.

Open beta testing for everyone transitioned from November 18, 2022, up to the maintenance on November 30, 2022.

The following information is gathered by beta testers and may not hold true when the app is available to the general public:
 * What sets this app apart from Choices is a currently-unavailable free platform to publish player's own interactive narrative content.
 * The art design is different from Choices characters.
 * Book protagonists are non-customizable and gender-locked, although there are male-protagonist stories in the library. Other characters (love interests) are also non-customizable.
 * Current soundtracks partially reuse older Choices books' soundtracks.
 * Some of the music were carried over from 1001 app.
 * Current in-game currency is "coins" rather than diamonds and keys. There are currently no premium options in the stories, and your coins recharge every day.
 * Some of the MCs have set sexualities. For example, the protagonist in Star Crossed is canonically Gay and the protagonist in Hope to Die is canonically Lesbian.
 * Pixelberry's own stories are shorter than average Choices books, with the shortest number of chapters currently being 3, and the largest amount being 32.
 * Similar to Choices, the stories released on the launch were released all at once. Starting with Heart's Blood, chapters of some books are updated on a weekly basis.
 * Hott House is the first story to have two chapters released weekly due to them being shorter than average chapters.
 * Despite being categorized as "Adventure" prior to release, Fake-Cation is categorized by the writers as a rom-com.
 * On August 5th, Hope to Die was moved from "Mystery" to "Comedy". On the same day, Robots Can't Date premiered and was put under the "Mystery" section.
 * Similar to Choices, a new story premieres once a month.
 * After Robots Can't Date's finale, there hasn't been new books produced from Pixelberry.

Note to editors:
Once Storyloom is open to you, you may add content to the wiki using Storyloom as the preface when adding new pages. Such as:
 * Storyloom/Star Crossed
 * Storyloom/Untamed

Please look at the 1001 app page titles as examples, such as 1001 app/Immediate Attraction, Book 1. Other formatting guidelines should still be used for book pages, character pages, etc.
