ABSTRACT

Our next intermediate project is an interactive story. Here we’ll make a picture book–style story, but we’ll be using animations to bring it to life. Importantly, we won’t just make a single story; we’re going to include user input so they can drive the path the protagonist takes through our fantasy story. Here we’ll be engaged in telling the story of a wizard caught without his magic wand and having to wander through a fantasy world without the use of his magic. Can he make it safely back to the castle? The user will have to make the right decisions, with multiple possible endings to the story. In a little over one hour (for adults), we’ll build out an interactive story with multiple scenes and characters, user input guiding the flow of the story, and multiple animations bringing our story to life.
