9.3 Implementing Multimedia with AdventureBuildr

AdventureBuildr simplifies the integration of multimedia elements into your interactive novel:

Images

  • Upload images directly to nodes to illustrate settings, characters, or events.
  • Use lightbox effects to allow readers to view larger versions of images.

Audio

  • Add background music or sound effects to nodes for greater atmosphere.
  • Use conditional logic to change audio based on the reader’s choices.
    • Example: Triumphant music plays after a successful battle, while somber tones accompany a loss.

Video

  • Embed videos within nodes to depict dynamic events or flashbacks.
  • Example: A video of a crumbling bridge adds urgency to a choice about crossing it.

Interactive Maps

  • Use images or graphics as clickable maps that readers can explore to navigate the story.
  • Example: A town map with clickable locations like the marketplace, tavern, or castle.
