Upcoming learning/teaching resources for Twine (Summer and Fall 2023)

YouTube series

For the last month or so, I have been adding videos to a new series on Twine 2.6 (now 2.7) covering general Twine concepts and those found in each story format on YouTube. This work continues a pattern of a new video series on nearly every major version of Twine – I missed 2.4 – starting over a decade ago.

Along with each video, I have also been writing material. My hope is have a Harlowe-centric eBook out in the next few weeks, hopefully mid-August, with SugarCube and Chapbook eBooks to follow. (Snowman will, eventually, get its own eBook as well, but I need to do some code work first.)

New Grim material!

For those educators with more advanced students, or those wanting to use CSS more with Twine stories, @Grim has also posted about a new series of upcoming templates on their Patreon. I know many people have taught with, recommended, and even cited their work in the past.

Maybe Twine Cookbook in print form this year!?

I was also updated the other day on progress toward a print and PDF version of the Twine Cookbook. I am no longer involved in that project, and have no other news than that to report, but for those thinking about the Spring 2024 semester or projects, I’d say keep an eye out for, hopefully, news or the book itself over the next several months.
