Notes from lecture with Daniel. Not edited.

Some of the callenges:

1. how to balance/combine the use of prescripted storytelling techniques (multiple choice) and artificial intelligence (logic, memory and algorithms.)
2. balance the number of choices
3. what mediatypes/senses to use
4. how concrete/abstract

(book: "The Paradox of Choice", good personal reading, not that relevant in this project)

Chris Crawford: Interactive design
multiple choice stories:
- a.b.c.d.
- a few more options and the treestructure is vastly encreased. much more interactivity, but the quality often goes down, (and cost goes up)
- foldback
- kill them if they stray (not user friendly, cheap in many ways)
- obstructionist stories (sequences, but you have to get/solve something to get to next step)
- combination (most projects tries to combine these, link them together. monky island.)
- linkmeshes
