Abstract

In our previous work, we have experimented with branching narratives in cultural heritage, seeking to validate the efficacy of such narratives in this context and identify best practices in their creation. In this work we present the Story Maker, an authoring tool designed as a result of an iterative co-design process with heritage domain experts. The tool is situated within the domain of Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) authoring tools and was created to support both the design and the production of multimedia rich interactive narratives. We briefly present the motivation for the creation of the tool and describe its main features concluding with the future directions of our research.
