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

beautiful
Wow. I hereby bestow the much respected title HERO on you Rick.
I'll one-up Ashley's comment by saying this is the highlight of the month for me. My boss and I have been discussing Gamification lately, and this demo was perfect in proving that we don't need to invest in additional tools to meet our goals.
This is gorgeous! Amazing job!!!
Very nicely done
Wow, this was amazing. I really appreciated all the subtle effects and animations you added. It was also great to that you added the "behind the scenes" ebits of information.
Stunning! Very easy to navigate, very clean and engaging! Dare I even ask how long this took to create?!
My apologies. I am either really not smart or out of some loop.. how do you advance past the first screen? I only see a "Code" area and, if I am supposed to type into it, I don't know what I'm supposed to type. I read the info under the * about "What does this mean?"... sorry. I don't get how to move forward. I am using Chrome.
Hi Paula, I don't play a lot of video games either so no worries. If you're at the very beginning, look for the red button at the bottom right of the screen. Take a look at this short screencast for help.
Consider the Code area as a key. If you have the key of the level, you can just enter it and pass to next one. At the end of each level, the game gives you the key in case you may want to leave the game and play again later. In other words, they are 'save' files, or serve as save files.
Hi Paula, I was stumped for a while (at least 5-10 minutes) on the first screen as well. You have to find the watering can, fill it up, and water the flower. The flower will grow and the petals light up in a sequence which, if you click the arrow directions in the sequence shown on the flower, will lead you to a hidden place to find the key.
Hi Paula,
I admit it took me a bit to figure out too (I don't play any video games) but I was able to notice that there were the little arrows to navigate the little girl around the screen. As for the "code" area I'm not sure I'm clear on what you're seeing - perhaps dropping in a screenshot would help us figure that out?
I see no little girl. :) Just a black screen with text.
Click on the * icon and then YES I understand.
