Adventure Awaits

Strategy

I have created one previous Twine in another course, so I knew it would take me a while to create something but I find it such a fun process that I decided to take on the optional challenge (challenging for me). I did refer to my previous Twine to remind myself of some of the basic coding strategies, and I also referred to the Twine cookbook if something just didn’t seem to be looking right or I wanted a certain font, colour, size, etc. of text. I find I use the test from here function ALOT, and will copy and paste codes to other pages that have turned out the way I want it. The cookbook and Twinery forums seemed to be my go-to and were often very helpful.

I wanted to create a mini adventure, including a few things that I am passionate about (traveling, adventure, and the outdoors), while being creative and of course, a little silly – hoping to get a few laughs out of participants. I began with a plan on paper; how the story would begin, explained why there is an adventure and the general layout of what each adventure would entail. I chose to keep the layout similar between each adventure, I thought it would be more pleasing for the viewer and of course because of time constraints. I was hoping to find more images that went together but this proved to be a difficult task and I decided to keep the images simple rather than mismatched and clunky. 

It is a little frustrating WordPress does not have an easy solution for embedding a Twine story into the blog, I messed around with plugins for a while but was (very) unsuccessful. I feel like there is always more I could do, but alas, I just needed to finally move on to different tasks (both academically, professionally, and personally).

I hope you enjoy 🙂
