MAKE... An Interactive Story with Twine
Thursday 15th February 2024, 1:00pm
In this MAKE session, we will work together to understand the Twine Interface and the basic building blocks of creating an interactive story.
Twine is an open-source tool used for telling nonlinear interactive stories. Widely considered the industry standard for accessible interactive storytelling, whether it's used as a scriptwriting tool in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch or its ubiquitous presence in video game design, Twine’s simplicity and ease of use make it readily available to all levels of storytellers.
The great thing about Twine?
There’s no requirement to understand or write code for you to create these stories.
This MAKE session will take you through the basic building blocks of creating an interactive story. The first half of this session will walk you through the Twine interface, explaining what you need to know to get started on your first interactive story (as well as time to play around creating these stories). The second half of the session will begin to look at ways in which we can complexify our stories, bringing in beginner-friendly coding that can help us tell the stories we want to write.
The most important thing to remember about this MAKE class – it’s beginner friendly, working at a pace that suits its participants.
