Abstract
Authoring for Interactive Digital Storytelling (IDS) requires reasoning in formal paradigms which has proven to be a difficult task. One of such paradigms is the narrative act, understood as “actions on actions”. We compiled a catalog of narrative acts and made it publicly available as an online interactive visualization tool. A preliminary evaluation deemed this ‘living’ tool as useful for inspiring authors of IDS systems.
