Interactive Story/Text-Based Game Making Workshop

In this workshop led by Video Game Art Gallery teaching artist Eden Ünlüata-Foley, participants will learn how to use Twine, a simple tool for making text-based games, or in other words, interactive nonlinear stories. Participants learn how interactive narratives differ from other media and work on creating their own. Have fun developing a story while learning how to add static and animated images. No programming experience is required.

Eden Ünlüata-Foley is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and designer based in Chicago. He is currently adjunct faculty at Columbia College Chicago in the Interactive Arts and Media department. His artwork focuses on the formation of cultural identity and its relationship to place, the sense of belonging, and personal stories.
