Mission 1 Product

Our final product for mission 1 was an Interactive Fiction we named 'Unusual College Day'. It is a story about an unusual day in college where you wake up, are given an option before leaving the house and then you arrive at college. There you have to go through a series of challenges where it unlocks the last location at the end where there are three possible endings depending on your choices throughout the story.

Coming up with the story line was a pretty interesting and fun experience. Neither my partner or I really had any experience with writing stories or doing something like this before. We didn't let that drag us down and we were coming up with as many ideas as possible and writing them down. At the start we were thinking to go for a more thriller type of interactive story but we didn't really get anywhere with that. We then started thinking about something that could relate to all of us, and that is where we came up with an unusual day at college where we have included quite a few out of the ordinary fictional elements to make it more interesting.

We created the interactive story using a program called Twine. After looking at quite a few programs this was the one we found easiest to use. We wrote up the story into the program with all the 'coding' needed and showcased it during the presentation letting our classmates choose the available options.

Speaking of our presentation. We made a power-point with a few slides to talk about what we discovered about interactive fiction, our process with making an interactive fiction and we included the interactive story itself in the presentation.
