Impacts
Impacts are pop-ups shown to your player within a story.
They can be used for anything from congratulating a player on achieving something, to letting a player know they went down a certain path, or for encouraging them to share a funny moment.
An impact is added to a specific node in the story, and are shown both at that moment, and as a summary at the end of an episode.
Shareable Impacts
If you choose for your impact to be shareable, Charisma will show the pop-up impact at the top of the screen and will then take the last 3 lines of dialogue and compile them onto an image for your player to share directly to social media. You can choose which image will accompany this.
These impacts are really useful for encouraging users to share fun interaction points and spread the word about your story.
To add an impact to your story:
- Click the star icon on the character node where you would like the impact to appear.
- Write your impact. Keep it short and simple.
- Decide if you would like the impact to be shareable or not by clicking the checkbox.
- Upload the background image you would like to use.
- Click save.
