StoriEd Scenario
From EQUIS Lab Wiki
Here is a simple mock-up of part of a StoriEd story.
Contents |
Basic Scene
The scene has a background picture. This picture is static (i.e., does not change during the scene.)
Highlighting Active Objects in Scene
Moving the pointer around the scene highlights those objects which have an action associated with them. Above, the door is highlighted.
Here, the player has moved their pointer over the image of John Brown.
Initiating a Dialogue
Clicking on an active object triggers a dialogue. The scene zooms in to the active object, and a dialogue window appears. Above, clicking on the door has initiated a dialogue asking the player whether they wish to enter the door. The player can answer yes, triggering movement to another scene (presumably inside the building), or no, which will have no effect.
Here, the player talks with John Brown by clicking on him. John asks the player about the money they owe him. The player can respond in any of three ways, each of which will advance the plot differently.
