Reflection
To create my Twine game, I watched the recommended video and also viewed additional tutorials from Adam Hammond’s guide. These resources offered essential guidance on the platform’s features, especially regarding adding images and designing the narrative flow. I decided to base my game on spending a day in Langley, the city where I currently live. Before moving here, I knew little about Langley, but I soon found out it is full of fun activities and attractions. I thought it would be engaging and relatable to design a game where players explore a day in this wonderful city. Additionally, I chose this theme because I have lived here for many years and often visit local spots with family and friends, which have provided me authentic experiences to include.
The creation process was more challenging than I initially thought. It took longer than I expected to learn how to embed pictures on each page, which was a learning curve for me. I could have included many more activities, but since the player was only spending a day in Langley, I decided to limit it to 18 passages. Despite this, finishing the game gave me a sense of achievement and satisfaction. It was also enjoyable to experiment with different activity combinations and come up with fun possibilities for the players.
Overall, this project was both a learning experience and a fun challenge. It reinforced the importance of patience and persistence when troubleshooting technical issues. I hope my game inspires others to explore the Fraser Valley region and consider spending a day in Langley!
