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.
