HeroLand- an adventure built within Storyline (and only storyline)

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

Well done Richard! I'm stuck at the flower. I already watered it and it's just playing musical notes over and over. How do I get the key? : )

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!

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.

Richard:

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.

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.
