TWINE Overview
Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive nonlinear stories. It allows for the author to create a "choose your own adventure" style of story that can result in multiple different endings. Twine stories can be as simple as a text-based tale, or a sophisticated interactive experience with images, videos, sounds and music.
Getting started with Twine
Getting started with Twine
Two Versions (Web or Download) - We will be using the Web Version - twinery.org
Twine saves stories to the web browser's cache. This means that you don’t need to log into an account to use it. However, it also means that the stories you write on one computer will not be available on another computer unless you manually save it.
A Twine story is created as a .HTML file, this is the same file used in a website. If you are including images in your story, you need to link directly to the image location where it's stored online.
Although you can make very sophisticated stories with audio and video, for this activity we will only be creating stories with text and images.
Use the Twine Cheat Sheet (paper or digital version) to help guide your work.
Practice Assignment: Create Your First Twine Story
Here are three sample story texts to help you learn the Twine interface.
Use the text from one of these stories as the base for your practice project. You can choose appropriate images if time permits.
Once you have selected which story you'd like to complete, visit Twinery.Org to get started. Use your Twine Cheat Sheet for help.

hosting our stories
hosting our stories
Because Twine stories are published as .HTML files, we need a website to host our stories once complete. For this purpose, we will be using the service Itch.io
It is a site where people can share games and other types of files they have created.
You can see the GNS Innovation Itch page here.
