Hello Jessie,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your Twine game and was impressed by the creativity and interactivity you incorporated into the story. Your use of choices throughout the story created a more engaging experience for the reader. Your ability to incorporate external sources such as Spotify, Amazon, Scholastic Kids, and YouTube demonstrates your skill in navigating and utilizing digital media. However, I did notice that the Spotify link you mentioned was not working correctly, not sure if it was from my end.
I was particularly impressed by how you managed to learn all the tricks and even incorporated Gifs into your work. This added an extra layer of visual engagement to the story and made it even more enjoyable! In contrast, I stuck with using Bitmoji of myself and did not venture out to try all the new things like you did.
Furthermore, your reflection on your creative process was insightful, particularly your decision to search for sources that worked best for you. Your connections to Bolter’s (2001) ideas about hypertext and the limitless nature of stories across the internet demonstrate a deep understanding of the creative possibilities of digital media.
