non-linear stories

Open impronunciable opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

In order to tell non-linear stories users will need to specify how will they jump between scenes. This is my first idea:

  • Add a name or title for the scene: My scene is titled "Lo que el viento se llevó" and it shows an image
  • Add a pointer keyword for images, videos and models: I'm imagining something like My scene has an image located at https://bla.com/bla.jpg that points to "Lo que el viento se llevó"
  • If there is at least a pointer at the current scene, add a cursor allowing the user to jump to the desired scene by looking at it

Another way to do it is just by referencing other scenes by index: points to #1 but it doesn't feel that natural

fwiw I think pointers w/names makes a lot of sense, especially for folks who've used Twine before 🙂

Another syntax for scene titles:

# Intro
This scene has an image

#Outro
This scene has another image to my left pointing to the #Intro

Added a first version that uses the scene index for reference:

my first scene has text saying "intro"

the second one has an image from https://... that links to the first scene
