HeroLand- an adventure built within Storyline (and only storyline)
Nov 03, 2016
Hi all,
It's been an amazing year and with the latest developments from Articulate it's going to be another great one, however I wanted to show you all what can actually be done with Storyline 2 just by itself. This is more of an experiment, but to be honest would (still might) be my entry if there is a Guru challenge this year. But as things might be changing soon, I thought I'd give one last shoutout to one of the best design tools out there.
So here's the link - enjoy!
Sincerely, Rick

Hi Daniel - you need to walk in the direction the flower indicates, (i.e. by clicking the arrows in the same sequence as the flower)
I agree with everyone else when I say this is a masterpiece. The peeps at Articulate should give you a Guru title just for this even if there isn't a competition going!
show us the key?
Wow, this is really impressive. Authoring tools for video games are becoming more popular; I hope this inspires the people at Articulate to build one since they are halfway there!
OMG, the tips! Amazing that this is not only a fun game, but an e-learning course that teaches you how to build something similar! Richard for President 2016 please!
Spoilers for those stuck at the start : Go to the right of the level, get the watering pot, go to the left of the level and fill the pot with the spring water, then water the plant in the middle of the map. When the flower grows, it's petals will play a song. The petals that play each note correspond with the movement arrows you need to hit in the order you need to hit them to find the key.

I have always been a huge fan of your work. You come up with such creative and well-executed pieces, every time.
But this... this is INCREDIBLE! The idea, the design and the execution are flawless. This is Guru Gold.
Well done, I am still playing it, and cannot wait to see everything that's coming!

Water the flower with water to the left of the flower then click the arrow keys in the sequence the flower shows you.
This is simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! A work of art Richard!
I have finished it now. I cannot believe what I just experienced... M.I.N.D B.L.O.W.N
Fantastic work and amazing detail all with one tool, fantastic. This shows talent and creativity at it's best.
Great job Richard... love your attention to detail on the subtle design elements... pace, voiceover choice, title & title sequence, music, concise script,... I could go on... hard work pays off :) Well done sir.
Great work Richard. Congrats!!!
Excellent work Rick, it's great to see Storyline being used so creatively. The bar has been raised!
lovely!
Definitely your finest. I love it! Thanks
Absolutely wonderful! Well done.
Just Fantastic! Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration.
I think you just won Storyline Richard! Absolutely amazing. I'm in awe! :)
This is the best creation I've ever seen in Storyline. Well done!
Astonishing. Marvelous combination of a game and a help for Storyline. Great!!!
Super inspiring. Loved it. You should teach a class just around this project. What a great way to learn how to use SL.
Heroland is a thing of beauty - I am overcome with admiration and respect for Richard Hill. Heroland is a Storyline Master class! What a phenomenal illustration of Storyline possibilities and e-learning development and a totally entertaining and engaging story too.
Richard, even though you shared how you did it, I am totally blown away by it all, from your concept to your execution. I love the fact that you can collect the scene codes and return to the training to access all of your narrated/illustrated tips on exactly how you created the animation for scenes, characters and events.Thank you for sharing it with us. I hope someday to grow to use at least some of what you were able demonstrate in Heroland.
For those who haven't yet clicked Richard Hill's link and taken the adventure to Heroland, stop, take a break and do so. You won't be disappointed.
