Project 1

Interactive "Introduce Yourself"

"Chapter One: Now What?"  —  A branching personal narrative built in inklewriter and ink

A two-part interactive introduction that invites the reader to explore who I am through branching choices. Part 1 was written in inklewriter, experimenting with narrative structure and personal voice. Part 2 expanded the story in ink with CSS styling and ink language features for a more polished, cohesive experience.

Project 2

Visual Interactive Story Adaptation

"Balakanda"  —  A Binksi adaptation of the Bala Kanda from the Ramayana

A pixel-art interactive adaptation of the first book of the Ramayana. The player follows Rama and Lakshmana as they journey with the sage Vishvamitra, defeat demons in the forest, and travel to Mithila — where Rama strings the legendary bow and wins Sita's hand. Built iteratively across three versions in Binksi.

Project 3

Quality-Based Narrative

"Paul Revere's Midnight Ride"  —  A historical drama built in Dendry

A quality-based narrative following Paul Revere on the night of April 18, 1775. The story uses Dendry's quality system to track the reader's choices and shape how the ride unfolds, developing Revere as a character under pressure. Built across two versions with an expanding set of scenes and character depth.

Term Project

Term Project Milestones

Shattered Realm

I experimented with RenPy first, testing how well it could handle the game's visual novel-style dialogue and branching paths. I then switched to Unity with the Inkle plugin, which handled the narrative logic a lot better and ended up being what I used for the final build..
