Posted on October 25, 2006 by Susan

INTERACTIVE FICTION: Book and Volume

Posted on September 26, 2006 by Susan

Well here am I, feeling perky and adventurous, and I amble back into Nick Montfort’s Book and Volume.  Where I left off, I had all the original tasks complete but evidently missed on picking up some new ones as well … Continue reading → Continue reading →

INTERACTIVE FICTION: Book and Volume – Lure

Posted on July 17, 2006 by Susan

Just when you’re about to give up, something draws you back to the game.  With me, it may be my absolute obsession to leave nothing undone.  A fool’s dedication, but satisfying in some small way. And reward for the effort … Continue reading → Continue reading →

INTERACTIVE FICTION & NEW MEDIA: A Revelation

Posted on July 12, 2006 by Susan

All sorts of breakthroughs in writing and in reading these past few days, but even more in understanding and more than that, in further questioning. Separating myself as a writer from the reading, yet that is contradictory to the very … Continue reading → Continue reading →

LITERATURE & NEW MEDIA & STORYTRON: Attitude

Posted on July 11, 2006 by Susan

In learning new media methods and means via both background technical aspects in order to write to it, and by addressing it as a reader, I am beginning to suspect that not only writer consideration of the diversity of potential … Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA & STORYTRON: Discoveries

Posted on July 7, 2006 by Susan

First, on Facade:  Just another little experiment with the program, that of minimalizing interactivity–totally against the purpose of the piece.  Responded to questions from Grace or Trip, but with basic yes or no answers.  At the first sign of the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

STORYTRON & WRITING: Character & Resolution

Posted on July 6, 2006 by Susan

Though I’m not quite ready–and neither is the SWAT program–I’m going to follow a suggestion made and enter the characters and storyline into SWAT and use them as the learning base.  It may provide a more intimate and focused grounding … Continue reading → Continue reading →

INTERACTIVE FICTION: Book and Volume – Progress Report

Posted on July 4, 2006 by Susan

STORYTRON: Frustration

Posted on July 4, 2006 by Susan

This part of the SWAT progam, getting used to the decisions and menus and buttons and what they represent, is likely the most difficult; especially with this, what one would assume to be the simplest part: Putting together two actors … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA, IF & STORYTRON: More on Story

Posted on July 2, 2006 by Susan

One of the things that is helpful in mixing media forms and exploring them simultaneously is that it focuses on the means and method and necessarily questions the purpose. What then, is the lure of the story in text only … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA, INTERACTIVE FICTION & STORYTRON – Reality & Interactivity

Posted on July 2, 2006 by Susan

Posted on June 29, 2006 by Susan

Maybe it’s me, but I find that while the tutorials and informaton on the Storytron site do explain things pretty well, I need additional right-at-hand condensed notes. I did make a manual up for all Storytron info, but in addition, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

STORYTRON: Learning and Story

Posted on June 28, 2006 by Susan
