So...Twine. Hypertext stories with divergent paths and multiple endings are really fun. I still remember when I had those actual physical books where you could follow different paths and get different endings by simply turning to different pages as instructed. Honestly, they were some of my favorite books from my childhood. I delighted in trying to work out all the possible endings and always had a lot of fun doing so.
So with Twine, I felt strangely nostalgic. However, I was also very excited. I love the idea of writing my own story with a complex diverging path that people can spend hours exploring. In fact, I began this assignment at around noon and have been playing around with Twine for about 6 hours now. In that time, I wrote and discarded a lot of ideas and ended settling on a simple little story for now.
If you're curious to check it out, I've actually embedded the story into a blog post! Just look for the Twine label on my main page. Give it a play and comment on this post with your opinions about it!
