Game stories can be used to drive the narrative of a story and character development as the Module progresses.

On the Gamification subpage, select the Game Stories tab:

1. You may view Game Stories with or without conditions by clicking the Condition dropdown list.

2. To create a game story, click Add. You may also use Authoring Copilot to Generate Game. Please refer to the link here to find out how to use ACP to generate game stories and collectibles. For manual creation, add the following details:

   1. Game Story Audio - You can choose to add audio to all game stories. To add game story audio, click the toggle for Loop Audio. You may use the default audio or upload your own custom audio.

   2. Title - The game story title will be pre-filled for you as "Untitled Game Story". Change the Title to one that is concise and unique to help you identify the game story.

   3. Description - The description allows you to describe the story, up to a character limit of 2000 characters. You can upload a Audio/Video file in the description field.

   4. Image - This image will be visible as a prompt for the student when they fulfill the required conditions for the game story. If left empty, a default game story icon will be populated for you. You can hide image when it is awarded. You may also use Authoring Copilot to create images under Generate Image.

      • Note: Images for game story prompts will be uploaded with 16:9 aspect ratio.

   5. Game Branches (Optional) - Select Game Choices or Short Response Text and click Add Branch.

      1. Game Choice - Enter an option in each branch. To add more branches, click Add Branch. Each branch is an option for students to select when they are awarded the Game Story.

   1. Click Create to proceed.

   2. After creating a game story, you may click Add Conditions to determine when the game story will appear during the module. All game stories are hidden by default until they are awarded to the students.

   4. You may also generate images for each game story by clicking on Edit, then Generate Image.
