Creating a text adventure game is no easy feat. It takes a lot of time, creativity, trial and error. The key to creating a great game is putting yourself in the player's shoes and making sure there are plenty of fun twists and turns along the way.

I decided to keep my game simple and tell a linear story. I used a web engine called Twine (twinery.org, an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories) to help generate the game's storyline, and I adapted the script from a Bulgarian fairytale ("The Most Precious Fruit"). But things didn't always go smoothly. When the python script started generating the wrong messages for players who strayed from the script, I tried to find solutions on StackOverflow, but it was all too complicated for me.
