Creator partnerships and Living Worlds production
Authentic stories need authentic voices. Not consultants. The people who lived it.
We've all seen how representation usually works: hire a consultant, review the script, check the box. The consultant gets paid once. Someone else's name is on "created by."
Every Living World representing a culture or community gets led by a Creative Director from that community—with ongoing royalties and actual decision-making power. Not consultation. Partnership.
We will partner with Creative Directors—cultural storytellers, genre masters, community organizers, and lived experience experts—who will guide the creation of Living Worlds. These won't be consultants we pay once and forget. They'll be collaborators.
Authentic voices lead authentic stories.
Whether you're preserving folk tales from your heritage, exploring disability through lived experience, or mastering a narrative genre—if you have a story that deepens empathy and understanding, we want to help you tell it. Gothic Grandma serves as curator and enabler, ensuring quality and scientific grounding, but the creative vision belongs to you.
From the reading experience to your personal library—this is how you'll experience Living Worlds.
Professional e-reader experience designed for hours of comfortable reading. Elegant typography meets living narrative—text that responds to the world in real-time.
What makes it special: Every word reflects the current simulation state. Emotions influence word choice. Stories unfold naturally, not through branching scripts. 42 languages covering 95% of global speakers, with authentic cultural adaptation.
Discover and manage your collection of Living Worlds. Like Steam for interactive fiction—browse new experiences, track your progress across multiple stories, and access your entire library from one elegant interface.
For readers: Community reviews help you find stories you'll love. Progress tracking lets you pick up where you left off across multiple worlds. Personalized recommendations based on your reading patterns. Seamless updates and new content delivery.
For creators: Fair revenue sharing, full attribution, and DRM protection for your work. Direct connection with your readers through the platform.
Gothic Grandma is built on the principle that technology should empower human creativity, not replace it.
This Calliope demonstration shows the early alpha application—the interface and functionality are real, but the book covers and titles shown are fictitious, created for visualization purposes only. The covers were generated using AI. These do not represent actual products.
When we launch, every MUSE Living World will feature:
Our commitment is to human artistry.
MUSE Living Worlds won't just be our stories—they'll be a platform for diverse creators to share theirs. Authentic representation comes from communities telling their own narratives, not corporations interpreting experiences from the outside.
Creative Directors will shape the narrative, characters, and cultural context of their Living Worlds. Gothic Grandma provides the technology; creators provide the authenticity.
Upfront payment for development work, plus ongoing royalties from every sale. When your story succeeds, you succeed.
Your name, your story, your community—prominently celebrated, not hidden in credits.
