I created the file in twine that contains the story, as well as the test story that was made in order to test the functions of twine before I made the actual story. This group project was a personal experience that i can use to showcase my coding skills. In order to program this game properly, I had to use a programming tool called Twine. As this was my first time using the twine program to code a program. As a result, I had to spend some time learning how the program worked in order to translate the story that my partner Justin Brown wrote into the program so that the narrative flows properly. I had to learn how to create transitions from one part of the story to another & how to add sounds & visuals in order to make the story more immersive. I had to de...

As the creator of the game, King of the Shadow Realm, I handled the writing of the story, while my partner, Austin, handled the programming. Austin spent his time learning how to take the scripts I made and separate them into outcomes. I meanwhile worked on two different scenarios that had multiple outcomes. I fortunately had this idea for the game before we went to work on it, which helped speed things along. I worked on what the character's personalities would be, and how they'd interact with others. Having decided that the setting of the game would be in ancient Japan, I had to look up Japanese mythology and see which figures could serve as foils to the chara...
