Creating Games in Storyline

May 04, 2012

Hey everyone just wanted to share this new game I created using Storyline. I'm loving the software. The ability to add variables and triggers is a great feature.

It's called "Hub & Spoke" and was created to help people learn about telemedicine.

Keith,

Thanks for sharing the project file, I'm just beginning to dig into it.

I'm actually quite curious how you created that button with the right arrow in slide 1.2. I can't figure out how it's done - am I missing something in SL? The built-in arrow icons are tiny...

I'll add my praise to the list, Keith: WOW! Really nicely done; an elegant and fun sample. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from it!

Do you have a screen shot of what you're talking about?

This button - I still can't figure how you customized it:

Looks like a black button, with "Insert > Shape" (white) arrow, with an applied "Inside Shadow" to me....

Thanks guys - I just recently learned how you can use the edit states to combine shapes, so I hadn't thought of that. Will make my buttons snazzier going forward! Thanks both Bruce and Keith.

Hey Adam,

Thanks. The graphics aren't from scratch. I used to be more of a purist but have come to my senses that it just takes too much time. Most of the graphics are stock images that I've manipulated in Illustrator. So I would say, "kind of...".

Hey Mandy,

Like many things with software, there are several different ways to achieve the same outcome, but to do this I suggest watching the tutorials on triggers and variables. When I have some time I'll try and create a screencast. Thanks for the feedback.
