Design docs, dialogue graphs, tasks, milestones, playtests and your game’s items, linked to each other. Self-hosted, on your own network, bought once.
Objects: your game’s data, inherited from parent to child, linked to everything that mentions it.
Design docs: write together, and @mention the items, enemies and levels you’re designing.
Graphs: dialogue trees and quest flows, with the speakers and objects they’re about.
Task boards: plan sprints with points and people, and drag the work along as it moves.
Calendar: a rival launches the same day as your demo, so Qwest suggests the week before.
Assistant (optional): chat with your whole project as context, on your own key.
Playtests: open a round to players and read their feedback as it comes in.
Games in chat: type /spin, /zones, /potato and more to settle who takes a task, together.
Instead of six tabs that don’t know about each other
One Qwest projectYour items, enemies and levels are objects that inherit from each other. Design docs and dialogue graphs mention them, and every object shows everything that talks about it.
Lists, cards, points and people: the board you’re used to, with the docs and objects each task is about one click away, and milestones that say if you’re on track.
And if you like to spice it up a bit, try Deck mode: each person draws a weekly hand of cards from the board, sized to the time they have.
The assistant reads your docs, graphs, objects, tasks and playtests, so it answers about your game, not games in general. It’s 100% optional: one checkbox turns it off, and it runs on your own key.
Tools come and go, prices go up, accounts get closed. Your design docs shouldn’t go with them.
Run it on a studio machine, a NAS or a small cloud box. Your docs and builds never sit on someone else’s servers.
Qwest runs fully on a server your team is connected to, even one that’s never published to the internet: a studio network or a VPN.
A year of updates is included. When it ends nothing stops working: you keep the last version, and renew only if you want what’s new.
Every release brings new features and bug fixes. A year of them comes with your license, and renewing keeps them coming. Stop, and you keep the last version you got.

If someone on the team can set up a game server, they can set up Qwest. Or let us host it.
No. It runs fully on a server your team is connected to, like a studio network or a VPN, without being published to the web. The license is activated once over the internet, and that can be done from another device.
Nothing stops. You keep the last version you got, and can renew whenever you want newer ones.
No. Indie covers the whole studio, however many people work on the game.
No, it’s 100% optional: if you don’t want it, it’s one checkbox away. If you do, bring your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, OpenRouter, xAI, DeepSeek, Groq or any OpenAI-compatible provider. Nothing goes to a model you didn’t pick.
Yes: the hosted Free plan runs one project for up to 3 people.
The whole team, one price, yours to keep.
