An Ocean of HTML

My job is worldbuilding. Well, that’s not quite accurate. My job is recovering the world as it was in the age of sail.

For the past year my job at RRCHNM has been to write my own game, “Learning the Ropes”, using a free, open-source program called Twine. The platform allows users to write create-your-own-adventure-style text-based games using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Before pitching my own game, I spent a year revising another Twine game: “Gaming the Great Plague”. These are a part of the RRCHNM Games project.
