Interactive Storytelling Summer 2022

Interactive story planning

For now, I am working on my interactive planning. I feel like this is never a easy task to make a story plot rigorous, I think proposal is easy to make but for the planning I think it is very hard for creator to lead a story always on a right track. Now I am trying to come up an idea on how to make the story make sense. My temporary idea is to make a mind map so that I am able to know where I am going to after each step of storytelling, and also it is easy for me to amend some flaws by a mind map.

    I really enjoy your visual demonstration here. I completely agree, planning out the details of your interactive story can be very difficult. Something that helped me is including the options / paths that the player can choose at the end of every paragraph description. Ex: Option A) You walk towards to superhero’s … OR Option B) Hesitant, you keep your distance from these supernatural beings. This allows me to see the specific choices that lead the characters to their particular paths, and can help with having clear idea of the narrative. Have fun planning your story, I wish you the best!

    Hi, i definitely agree with you, i have the same issue. I have a map planned out can help you with laying out different outcomes and to check out if they are reasonable. And then you can make decisions from there. Good luck on your story!
