Best Practices

Transitions

When the story moves to a new place, we create a transition to inform the player. We can choose from any one of the following, depending on the story context.

• Banner: Used for room-to-room movement.
• Wipe: Clear the screen if you are traveling to a very different moment.
• Time: Used for representing exactly how much time has passed.
• Beat: Represents a short time skip; a beat of time.

Your set needs to be listed in the Asset List. Using Background or Location button will automatically add the background you select to your Asset List for you.

Banner

Using a banner effect will cause the Story Name of the new Background to display across the screen when the reader changes location. This can be useful for visiting special places, or a place of enough importance that you’d like to call the reader’s attention to it.

The text on the banner will be the same as the Background’s Story Name.
