For the first true prototype of the module, we are given the choice of application to create a prototype that fits around the theme of ‘Fragments’. I decided to do a quick Google search for the definition of fragments and they are defined as separate or broken pieces of something, like a memory or pieces for example.
I decided that I was going to make a simple prototype using Twine based around this concept and made the game about dreams and how they are disconnected from each other, sort of like how it’s fragmented and such. I made sure to research the concept of dreams before starting to make the base prototype in Twine, using some of the tricks I had never used in the engine before. The video below the link is where I stored all of the citations and references I have used to support the prototype, as well as a general walkthrough of the whole prototype. The Door Image seems to not work, but it’s just a prototype. Not everything should work as intended.
