I have decided to use Twine to make my digital text for my final project. I have always enjyed choose your own adventure type stories, and have wanted to create one for a while. I also think Twine provides an interesting way to add history and context to a story, similarly to the way Wikipedia articles link to ones with pertinent information. This is the main reason I chose to use wine, because it is an aspect of the platform that is mostly impossible to do in a tradtional text, though it is possible to do a similar thing with footnotes. I have also decided to make a fantasy story, since it is the genre I have always been the most drawn to and a lot of my favortie gitial texts are fantasy video games such as Baldur's Gate, Skyrim, and God of War. I think fantasy works especially well with Twine since when introducing a character or important item, I can add a page explaining the history/background of it. Because of these inspirations, I aim to create a sort of RPG type story where the reader takes on the role of a character, and hopefully get immersed in the world. I am also interested in Twine's ability to code things into the story, though I have not looked into that aspect of the program that much yet.
