As someone who has experience with programming, I was excited to try out this new tool and see what I could be able to make it do! My approach for this task was to make a dungeons &amp; dragons-style encounter where they player &#8220;rolls a dice&#8221; to determine the outcome of their decisions. I thought that this would be a great way to leverage the abilities of using a digital platform. Although there were pictures in The Temple of No, I wanted to pay homage to the retro text-based games while focusing on immersing the player in the narrative. As a dungeon master &#8211; I felt like I wanted the story to stand on its own without the help of visual aids, and this is the result of that decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In exchange, I implemented more complex logic and made used of multiple variables, and spent a bit less time on the colors and visuals. Even after spending hours creating and testing this Twine, I still enjoyed playing it from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that Twine is great at pushing the limits of how we can use text to communicate. For example, the animations are a really effective way of communicating context and emotion, and the color and weight can also add additional information for the reader. I found that this reminded me of Cinelli&#8217;s (2020) proposal for additional punctuation and <em>visual inflection<\/em>. These animations allow us to add this sort of inflection to the writing, which greatly assists the reader in connecting with the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinelli, M.
