Treasure Hunters Learning Game
Before I officially became an ID I worked in a job that encouraged self-learning and would give us time to take e-learning. One of the e-learning I became focused on was PowerPoint. This led to me making games in my free time one game was a Pirates adventure that I repurposed to be a trivia game for learning a new process at work. This was long before I became an ID but was laying the groundwork for this path. When I became an ID I was introduced to Storyline and was told it is PowerPoint on steroids. For my first couple week I was encouraged to play around, watch videos, come here and look at what other can and have done. I took that time to remake the game using Storyline and enhanced it with branching options. This is the result after those 2 weeks. I really wanted to see if my PowerPoint skills and translated to Storyline and see how I could push it. I thought I would share it and maybe inspire others I have been by this community.

Hey AndrewBlemings- ,
Thanks for the feedback. The sharks is not where you need to move the ship, you are more just trying to survive until land shows up in the bottom right corner after a few seconds then you click on it. I may have to go back and double check how I worded the instructions on that one.Thanks. Nothing on the screen seemed to respond to my input though so it's the metaphorical "surviving" that I'm unclear on. I get that the sharks should somehow be avoided but the ship doesn't move so every time I loaded it, all I could do was wait for one of them to run into it. What controls should the user be using on that slide?
Just moving your mouse around the screen/ocean avoiding the obstacles until the land shows up after a set amount of time.
A fun concept. I wasn't able to get past the sharks, however. I'm clearly clicking on the right ship since the minigame begins, but there's no indication in the course how to move the ship. I've tried clicking and dragging, pressing WASD, and pressing the arrow keys. Should ship movement be intuitive?
Thank you for sharing this idea!
