Thanks for the comment! Yeap, everything is free and rather easy to put together. The ONLY thing that might be slightly complicated (at least on the version I was using last year when I made mine) is to embed images which had to be using html code. There was no convenient INSERT IMAGE button yet. But even that is just a matter of using tags and putting the image files on the same folder as the interactive book so it's not that bad. And for publishing (with images and everything) itch.io is fantastic, just upload all your stuff in a single ZIP file, and if your main file is named index.html, everything just works instantly on the web, for free and not having to deal with nonsense like hosting. It's quite appealing!

It is so easy now·a·days!

Your're quite welcome! =)

They were quite fun. Like prehistoric portable websites.

@@JCRandom Yes, something like that!

Thanks for the comment!

@@JCRandom Is there any way I could get a glimpse of the source file? I am very curios how you made one of the pages in twine >.< ! Fingers crossed

@@BCardician of course, here is a google drive link to my all my source code, drive.google.com/file/d/1iyGvE6_m6PdI2DfTop8gsP-BN2KH479H/view?usp=sharing You should be able to download that and import it in the IMPORT option of the LIBRARY tab on the web version of twine. (I think, I haven't used it in a couple years, the site looks WAY fancier now) The only part that will not work are the images since I added them after exporting the final file for uploading to itch.io

@@BCardician if you have other questions, we can talk over on twitter, might be more convenient that comments here on youtube! twitter.com/jcporcel

Cool. That way it's not cheating like my story that always ends the same!

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope it inspires more people to make their own stories!

@@JCRandomYou pointed me in the direction of Twine, which I had never heard of. I’ve been concepting a CYOA picture book for young children. I think Twine will simplify the process greatly. I’m really grateful! ❤️

I used "Chapbook" since back then it's layout looked very similar to the Choose-your-adventure books. The other formats were way better in terms of options and things you could do, but since my story was very simple I went for looks over functionality. And yes, knowing a bit of html and css is always useful when it comes to Twine, since twine stories are just fancy webpages. All the buttons colors and other special formatting was done using CSS, which is not that complicated.

Suerte!

Yes, the images are the only part which is a bit complicated. I haven't used twine y over a year, maybe it has some better tool now, but back then I had to insert html tags to add images like . It's not too complicated in retrospect, but there should be a button or something to add this things....

I published mine on itch.io/ It´s free, customizable and very convenient. You can even sell your stuff if you like to.

@@JCRandom Perfecto, gracias :)

It depends on the story format you are using, but in SugarCube you can add html tags like , and put image.jpg on the same folder as the html file that twine exports. Or directly link to an image on the internet. I used Chapbook, which didn´t have that many html options but it uses embed codes like this one: {embed image: 'cave.jpeg', alt: 'Cave entrance'}, and that will place "cave.jpeg" (which can be any image on the internet) in that page. Here is the details of how to do it on chapbook: klembot.github.io/chapbook/guide/multimedia/images.html I used chapbook because I liked the layout which was very clean and very similar to and ordinary ebook-like, but if it comes to ease of use and options, I would go with any other format, probably the latest version of SugarCube. It does need a bit of html knowledge, but its quite simple to copy/paste from the manuals, just like I copied all the embed instructions from the chapbook guide.

No, the link is the same and the comic is up. jcporcel.itch.io/work-at-home-simulator

@@JCRandom thanks. that was truly excellent. I'm guessing it doesn't allow you to add audio though?

@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Whatever you can add to a web page, you can add to a twine story since they are just html.

The ONLY thing that is slightly complicated (at least on the version I was using when I made mine) is to embed images because you need a some html code. There was no convenient INSERT IMAGE button yet so I had to use html tags to add images and put the image files on the same folder as the interactive book (or upload the images to some other website and link directly to those).

@@JCRandom can you do a tutorial on this please?
