Create a Story Adventure Game with Twine (FoCL)

Work together as we guide you through the steps to create your very own Story Adventure Game on the web with the Twine tool.

You don’t need to write any code to create an adventure story with Twine, but you can improve your stories with variables, conditional logic, images, gifs, sound effects, and video shorts, for a multimedia experience.

Discover how you can use openly licensed images and materials from the University of Edinburgh museum, library, archives, and Media Hopper’s Open Media Bank for your own creative endeavours.

Over the course of the day we will look at the variety of public domain and openly licensed materials on the web that are available for creative re-use, and discuss the ethical responsibilities we as creators have towards those materials. You will be provided with open materials and guided through the different steps available to edit, snip, and embed these into your game.

Play test and provide feedback on each other’s Adventure Stories, and discuss what makes for a great story.

Prizes will be awarded for outstanding creativity!

Lunch, hot drinks, and snacks will be provided.
