Creating Games in Storyline

Keith - Link isn't working for me...I get a circle with "!" in the middle, as if it is trying to load the training, but it is not working...really want to see what you've done!

Hmmm...I'm not sure why Jonathan. Brian, it looks like you were able to access the link? Any ideas?

Very nice, Keith.  Thanks for sharing.    Ditto what Brian said on the design.

Link works for me - but I'm not very good at telemedecine, but like the design!

Love that, Keith! Thanks for sharing it! If you're able, feel free to attach the story file for folks who would like to take a look under the hood.

I'll definitely do that. I need to clean it up a bit first but then I'll post. Thanks for the great feedback everyone.

Very nice, Keith. I really like the look of it and the sound effects are perfect.

Cool demo, like the choice of avatars.

Very cool!  I love all the variables and how they flow through the entire game.  Awesome work.  Can't wait to get started with Storyline.

This is awesome! Nice work. Can't wait to see the story file.

@Jonathon, it only worked for me when I entered through the blue spoke (beginner)

What did you end up using for your leaderboard, Keith?

I'm lucky. I sit next to a Javascript/PHP/MySQL developer who helped me out.

I executed javascript on the submit button using this javascript.

var player=GetPlayer();

var nameValue = player.GetVar("Name");

var scoreValue = player.GetVar("score"); var sessionValue = Math.floor(Math.random()*9999999999999999999999999999);

var url = "YOURURL

username="+encodeURIComponent(nameValue)+"&score="+encodeURIComponent(scoreValue)+"&session="+sessionValue;

window.location = url;

Maps, sliders, quizzes, custom avatars... oh boy you got a lot of great ideas going!

Great job Keith!  great design and engaging - so important!  I am sure your learners will be grateful.

Wow Keith! This is fantastic. I would LOVE to get a peek under the hood. This is so timely - I am developing a review game now for a larger set of lessons. This is WAY more than I hoped to build but I'd still love a look at how you've achieved this. Congratulations!

Kevin,  so I can forecast how long it takes to "do" a game like this in Storyline, how long did it take you to get this game out?  Please include the time developing the concept, graphics, gathering all the assets together and then putting it here in the forums.

Thanks,

Robin

P.S. It is brilliantly executed!  Bravo

That's a tricky question Robin. I wouldn't say I planned it out too well since it's a new software and I was just trying things as I went. I changed concepts several times. At one point I had it to where the user could choose the routes they wanted to play. So rather then start at the "blue" route the user could choose to play all 4 routes or just 3 or 2 and so on. My testers felt that was too confusing so I dropped it and made it more linear.  I also started to include questions that utilized the avatar more in different scenarios but quickly realized with all the links that it would be much too long of a process.

Long story short now that I'm more familiar with Storyline's features and if you're more organized then me I  would say it should take a few weeks.

If there were a way in "question banks" to eliminate a question once it's been answered it would have definitely sped things up.  I've tried to upload the project file a few times and I keep getting a server error. I'll upload it as soon as I can.

Thanks again everyone for the comments. 

Very Nice Keith, thanks for sharing.  I dig that funky music

Nice. Easy to get going. Like the tracking with the map, lots of engaging elements for sure. Well done sir.

Hats off Keith! Well done and nicely played with the Javascript. 

Here's the project file.
