Adventure game advice - would love your thoughts

Hi Victoria. Would you feel comfortable utilizing a combination of variables and state change triggers to adjust the properties of each slide? That way, you won’t need to create multiple paths - just one that “updates” according to the avatar chosen initially.

I agree with Daniel. I will use variables to have different avatars navigate the same common slides for different paths. From a maintain view, if there are adjustments you don't need to duplicate again and again. And of course the file will be smaller then. 

Try not to duplicate, it duplicates the changes you make during review. Use variables to track and control navigation.

The approach to states and variables in Daniel's example seems like it could be a perfect solution for this adventure game!

On a related note, something that might make setting up the right branching even easier is a new Storyline 360 feature we just released today: conditional triggers with alternative actions. Here's a bit more info if you're interested.

Oops! I did begin playing around with a version which (I hoped) would take advantage of master slides...but I abandoned it pretty quickly. Must have forgotten to bring that initial content back from the master slide. Sorry for the confusion.

Attached is the version I thought I sent over originally.

Thank you, Daniel, Joanne and Phil! Ok, that settles it. No duplication, just variables it seems. I am assuming what it looks like is if Avatar1 is selected. then jump to slide 16, if Avatar2 is selected, jump to slide 17 and so forth?

OK, update on its way! I can't wait, @Bianca Woods!
