Mortal Kombat

Walkthrough: Before you start playing the game, please make sure to click the full screen icon in the bottom right corner, so that you do not run into issues while playing the game and can view the interactive poster more clearly. On the first page of my game, you will see my poster and a bright red "Start" button. When you hover over the button, you will notice the button turns blue. When you click the "Start" button, it will take you the next page where you will pick your character and fight Scorpion in the first round. Next you will learn more about your character and begin your fight with Scorpion. Each page will give you two options that will make you think critically about which option gives you a better chance to defeat Scorpion. In the end, you will either lose and have to restart the game again or be able to defeat Scorpion and win the first round.

Design goals and process: In the beginning, I was confused on how I will make my poster interactive. I had many different ideas, but decided to create a small fight scene that allows the player to pick a Mortal Kombat character (Raiden, Liu Kang) and fight Scorpion in the first round of the tournament. My goal was to allow users to be able to get a sneak peek of the actual game and learn more about the special powers of some of the characters in Mortal Kombat. I decided to keep my color palette mostly the same in my interactive poster because I wanted the theme of my poster to still give a early 90s vibe, which is when the original Mortal Kombat was released (1992).  However, I did add one extra color into my color palette for my poster, which was dark red (#FF0000). This color was the clickable button that allowed players to be able to navigate through the game and identify which option they would like to choose. This was my second time using Twine, so it took some time getting used to the different commands, but I like how my interactive poster allows the player to think critically about their decisions, so that they can survive and move on to the next round in the tournament.
