This week I’ve been exploring Twine, an interesting, expandable, and creative platform that is not only an open-source tool for telling interactions but also for non-linear storytelling. Since I’ve been lost and sometimes depressed for a while now, I wanted to make an educational game on how to find happiness with Explore Twine. I hope everyone can think about what happiness is and how to get it in this process. By choosing to make decisions and answering interactive questions to achieve the purpose of my educational story.

Reflection Questions

What storytelling techniques have you used instinctively, and which ones require more work for you? Which techniques will you focus on moving forward?

I’m made to simplify difficult ideas so that knowledge is easier to understand. I’m trying to generate scenarios and ask questions that will require more research. Additionally, I drew people in by sharing my own narrative about how I came to understand happiness. Improving the capacity to produce stories that are more responsive and engaging, maybe by merging with Twine Meanwhile, I use different colors to show that I use different colors to categorize the components of happiness, which helps people remember and associate them. And I hope that people can associate more elements and possibilities of happiness by going over my definitions. So my twine is more about showing than telling the answer. I ended my Twine by giving the audience a positive takeaway about the emotional development of the answer to happiness.

Conclusion

I enjoyed the experience of creating this Twine. The investigation into Twine as a non-linear, interactive storytelling platform shows an innovative method of tackling difficult emotional ideas like happiness. Through the creation of an educational game that leads players through decision-making processes and contemplative queries, I hope it both clarifies complex concepts and promotes individual involvement with the material. My clever use of color and personal history to group ideas of happiness shows a natural command of storytelling strategies, intending to leave the user with lasting connections. My Twine project is proof of the potential of interactive storytelling in promoting emotional awareness and growth, even as we continue to hone our skills in creating responsive and captivating narratives.
