Cake Bake

This interractive narrative was designed to be a fun cooking experience with cute aesthics while also exploring deeper themes of friendship. You, as the main character, are meant to overcome the assigned characteristics of poor time management and perfectionism which serve as obstacles in this experience. The goal is to make the decisions that will help you successfully bake a cake and make it to your friend's birthday party on time in order to save your friendship, which has struggled as a result of your mistakes in the past.

I designed this game as a graduate student at Ball State University for my EMDD course. I built this interractive narrative in Twine, and it was my first experience coding. Throughout this process I conducted usability testing with classmates and received feedback from my professor on weekly iterations, which I then used to continuously improve technical and narrative aspects of the project. I feel that I have gained the ability to code successfully at a beginner level while also improving my skills at applying interactivity to stories with consideration for theoretical concepts.
