The Process\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Being very new to hypertext writing and HTML, I initially tried to create my game entirely on paper. However, as the complexity of my story was increasing, the limited affordances of a pencil and eraser quickly became apparent. Thus, I was forced to switch to the computer, which became my ‘clerk’ helping me to externalize my thoughts in “symbolized concepts” (Englebart, 1963, p. 6).\u00a0 Not only I was able to focus on little steps without having to remember every iteration I already had written in my game, but due to the permanence of the computer text, I was also able to test-run, revise, and edit the game as many times as I wanted. It is hard to argue with Englebart (1963) that such use of technology increased the level of the information I could handle, shortened the time, and thus, turned me into an “augmented” story designer.<\/p>\n

I wrote a game about myself and the choices that I make every day, representing these choices through hyperlinks. Twine makes these choices visible to myself, the author, and you, my reader, who is invited to take a journey into that space (Bolter, 2001).<\/p>\n

The Game<\/h3>\n

Readings, assignments, deadlines – they are a part of every graduate student’s life. Many struggle with balancing school, career, family, and self-care.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What choices would you make if you were a graduate student? Try the game to understand what choices and decisions students face. There are several options, but only one path leads to the successful completion of the game.<\/p>\n
