Choose your own adventure

avatar
(Edited)

It is always nice to find something that could fit Hive like a glove. Although we have some games and a couple of big alternative-posting options. I think @liketu, @waivio and @dbuzz are about the only alternative post options there are with @vimm and @threespeak for your multimedia content.

Now I am not the target audience for a multitude of content dapps and maybe I do have the social obligation to possibly use things like Dbuzz more. Especially Dbuzz or 3Speak since I am a Twitter and Youtube fiend.

But this is not about that, this is about a fun little tool that could be a niche addition to the ecosystem.

InkleWriter.com

Inklewriter is one of a couple of open tools to create "Choose your own Adventure" type stories or Interactive fiction.

I know there were a couple of ongoing games on Hive in the past where something like this could work very well. Even better if it had a datastore for participating people.

These types of niche but text content focused dapps are things that could benefit from Hive more than say Video or Image focused dapps could. For the most part Images can utilize IPFS without too much concern but nothing beats free and if a dapp is only utilizing text then essentially the structure can just be built on top of Hive and be deployed without too many storage concerns aside from optimization.

Anyway that is a lot of rambling and means nothing in particular. I do think Inklewriter and possibly the other options are worth playing with if only because you like crafting such experiences or want to tell a story in a slightly different way.

The general experience can of course be replicated on Hive with a little effort. I will attempt this sometime when I am not being useless. Since our comments have links and vary only from posts in that they are linked to one you could approach it the sane way by having your main content start then individual comments linked as options ie: Option 1 or option 2

Or the mental way and structure it so you start from the back working your way to the front which takes advantage of comment nesting and how interfaces tend to display them. ie Start Here

...That is it, just a fun little tool that will take some patience to figure out but there are more options and maybe a post structure for people who want more interaction.

One thing to note would be to remove the domain links from the URL when you copy them 

/apps/@penderis/re-penderis-2022622t222318141z
So you keep everything after the https://peakd.com or https://ecency.com that would be in a standard copied link.

I liked this little tool - it was really a cool experience to read a story on it - it actually made me take my time to read it - because it was like... just so different.

It made me appreciate each section more before clicking the next option.

I'm always amazed that you find these things! heheh i guess "clicking buttons" is like research huh? hehehe

On good days I think clicking buttons could be research butt most days it is idle hands haha. Yeah I think if more quirky tools like this for the content gets integrated somehow the more the experience grows and it is like quoting vs invoice for every 10 or 100 built a couple will become hits and Hive although active as an ecosystem does not quote all that much.

I love it!!! Hilarious... what a great way to reutilise the concept of choose your own adventure on Hive... but as I said to you already...the only thing is... no matter what I do.... I still DIE!!!!! ROTFLLLLLL love the dark sense of humour... would love to see you develop something on Hive with this... I'd be game... and imagine all those contestants taking part in this adventure.... finally getting to the end to be crowned the winner.... and they still DIE😂😂😂 !LUV !ALIVE !PIZZA

Yeah a dapp would be nice because you would have the ability to possibly track people without revealing too much also. Then they die... muhahaha !PIZZA

I think this is pretty cool and gives me lots of ideas, if you can make it that nobody can comment but that's probably not possible, right?

I don't think you can block the comments on Hive unless it is via a dapp specifically built to limit it etc. If you are doing it the way I did now using the post itself then I guess a way to obfuscate choices is to make it only be revealed in the next post. That way no matter which options they choose now the consequence is only revealed next time and you can update the comments with new links once the new options have been posted. !PIZZA

Were you thinking of the Paul and Scooter and Pirate Adventure? Those would have been a lot easier on something like that!

Yes, I think they would be easier once you get the workflow figured out for making them. Maybe you can start a sequel :P !PIZZA !LUV
