"Choice Matters" is an emerging game genre liked by many. In "Choice Matters" games, players are offered multiple story branches. Choosing option A over B may lead to an entirely different story development and sometimes even ending. The style of "Choice Matters" games varies, for instance FMV (full motion video game), MUD (multiplayer real-time virtual world), but at the core of the games is ergodic literature writing. A writer or more is needed to come up with an extensive non-linear story.
Writing such a game may sound difficult, but in fact you can already start writing some with easy-to-use game engines. These not only help you hold all your chaotic but imaginative thoughts all in one place, but also put them in the right interactive order to publish as a textual game or, combined with graphic, a graphic adventure game.
This time, Game Kitchen invites the mentor Sun Yuqian again. She works with AI to produce fascinating games about our times, but also is self-teaching the older craft of writing. She will teach us hands-on the engine "Twine" - by the end of the event, participants will have collectly produced a textual adventure game.
