Interactive Storytelling Summer 2022

Updates & Illustrations

As of right now, I have completed implementing my story into Twine. I included a title and end screen and all I have left to do is to create little illustrations for some parts of my story. There won’t be much art in the story but hopefully, the sprinkle of a visual aspect can kinda spice up my story and keep the players engaged.

Here’s a little preview of what the art will look like. Most of the things I’m drawing are items that you pick up throughout the story. I’m going to stick with the black and white illustrations since I thought that adding colour would take away from the horror themes.

    This looks so realistic! I think the drawings definitely suit the vibe of your story, and it’ll definitely help keep the player engaged. Since you mentioned that players will be picking up items throughout the story, will you have an Inventory passage that players can access to see/use what objects they’ve created? It would be cool to do that using the (if: macro!

      Thank you! I don’t think I will be adding an inventory system since there isn’t much that you can pick up and keep. I should’ve been more specific but it’s more so items that you come across throughout the story that help you escape and clues that go into detail about the plot itself.

      Though, I do agree that having an inventory system for items the player finds would be very cool. I think it would be beneficial for the interactive aspect of my story since my story right now is very text heavy; however, the way I wrote my story, the player does not pick up a lot of stuff and having an inventory system would be a little useless.
