A Defender's Tale app for iPhone and iPad

A Defender’s Tale is a personalized adventure book for the iPad where you choose your own pathway, collect items, play games, and strive to save the realm.

• You will be written into the narrative as the main character—the hero of a realm in peril
• Customize your companions, weapons, wardrobe and more
• Cautionary tales to teach lessons on friendship, patience, and serpent attack strategies
• Designed with illustration, interaction, and sound
• Invite friends to your story via Facebook or Twitter
• Dozens of potential outcomes

The Story begins in a troubled realm where the once benevolent Prince Nero has developed a sunlight addiction. Darkness encroaches. The seas are rising. It’s up to the Defender to stand up to Certain Doom and give it a swift kick in the pantaloons... because time is running out.

The App is a full-length original book featuring personalization, decision points, illustration, animation, games, sound design, and social integration. The story begins with a questionnaire disguised as an employment application to become the realm’s Defender.

These details then create the backbone of the reader’s personalized story.

The Goal was to create a product that reluctant readers might love just as much as avid bookworms. One of the points of this book is that you can be anyone you want and still reach Happily Ever After...as long as you are reasonably kind, patient, and remember that looks can be deceiving.

The Makers are two friends who wanted to create something they’d enjoy reading too.
