Tiivistelmä
The idea for this Bachelor’s thesis sparked from the notion that digital games and other audiovis-ual forms of entertainment have superseded the reading of books. This made me think about the ways how we could make written stories more appealing and interesting, especially for younger generations.
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to design and develop a prototype of an application that would combine novels and games in an inspiring and exciting way to raise the popularity of the written story and to introduce a new member to the family of interactive fiction applications.
The work began by looking at the past and present forms of interactive fiction. Analyzing their core features and combining their strengths and weaknesses with the ideas and visions that I had in my mind lead to the concept of the IFA. The concept was refined to a functional and technical design, on which the first prototype was based on.
The results of the prototype were promising, although many areas of improvement were discov-ered during the development process.
