Having decided that you want to get into transmedia and write a transmedia story, where do you start?
Well, I’d recommend that you start with what you know and branch out from there. But knowing where and how to branch out means considering the type of experience you want to create.
There are five simple questions to ask yourself:
•What is the story I want to tell?
•How will I deliver the story?
•What kind of audience participation do I want or need?
•How will audience participation affect the story over time?
•How much is based in the real world vs a fictional world?
Introducing Empires & Interconnections, the newest edition in the award-winning History Adventures digital book series, whose accolades include a 2019 Horizon Interactive Award for Best Education App.
This fully interactive, animated digital learning product represents a fresh approach to history education, designed for today’s digital generation.
History Adventures: Empires & Interconnections (1450-1750) combines the latest in mobile entertainment with the power of narrative design—bringing the pages of history to life.
An Age of Exploration, Gunpowder, and International Trade
During this period of colossal change, from 1450-1750, the world got smaller. The age of exploration, gunpowder, and international trade took hold, like never before. Epic empires expanded, and followed trade routes–as European nations battled to control as much of the world’s wealth as possible. The dark side of this explosion of wealth and consolidated power and influence, meant enslavement and ruin for some, as Europeans unknowingly brought diseases that killed millions and meanwhile initiated the gruesome, inhumane Atlantic Slave Trade. Some nations remained autonomous and isolated, such as the Tokugawa of Japan–but this took huge effort to throw off this tide of increasing global interconnectedness.
For Empires & Interconnections, we have developed 6 new characters–each of whom confronts the core question: how to deal with this tidal sweep of rising empires, will they fold into this interconnectedness, or will they somehow resist?

Luis Felipe Gutierrez, Spanish Conquistador, the New World (Modern Day, Peru), 1537 CE
"He was strolling through the jungle; he had to reach the other side of the mountains. Luis knew that he faced a long journey to reach the last outpost of the Spanish Empire - at the edge of civilization, where the map fell off into legend. It was the Anno Domini 1537, and Luis Felipe Guiterrez had arrived in the New World the year before, sent by his majesty Charles V to help his fellow countrymen complete the conquest of the land we now call Peru. The world he encountered now was nothing like he'd expected..."

In the interactive system of an RTS; a player encounters 2 primary types of narrative spaces:
• Cinematics
• Gameplay
The Cinematics acts as choke points, that is, all players must pass through it in order to advance. During a cinematic sequence, the Data (as presented) is fixed, that is, if the total sum of cinematic content within an RTS were to play out in succession the narrative would be rendered linear, and non-interactive, becoming then some form of machinima.

MASSIVE Lore Project! "Legacy of Light and Shadow": *34 to 35 New Schools* and *70+ New Characters* for Kivotos. (868-Page Report)
Fan Fiction
*🚨 LINKS TO THE DOCUMENT ARE IN THE FIRST COMMENT! CHECK BELOW! 🚨*
Hello everyone! After an unbelievable amount of work, I'm excited to share a massive conceptual lore project I've created for Blue Archive with the community. The project is titled *"Legacy of Light and Shadow,"* and its goal is to expand the Kivotos universe with extreme detail and structure.
The work contains: * *34 to 35 New Schools,* each with its own philosophies, departments, and clubs.
* *More than 70 New Characters* (with detailed designs, personalities, and dilemmas).
**Dozens of new plots, events,* and detailed side stories. * A *secret origin story* for the Halos, Sensei, and the very existence of Kivotos.
My primary goal in creating this was to demonstrate my **skill level in narrative design**, which is why I **already shared it with the Nexon Games development team.
** I hope the most dedicated lore fans enjoy it, give me their feedback, and perhaps get inspired to draw or design the emblems for some of my 30+ new schools and 70+ new students!

Thank you for your time and patience. I look forward to reading your theories and seeing what inspiration my project gives you!
My language is Latin American Spanish. When I finished my project before the translations, I realized I'd written 868 pages. (My goal was 1,200 pages, but I got tired and rushed it before they could add more to the main story and lore. Still, I did a great job.)

Presentation:
This is a story born of love, pain and hope.Inspired by Blue Archive, it was written from the bottom of my heart, as a tribute to the characters, their silences, and their untold emotions.
It is not official, nor does it seek to alter the canon. It's just a voice... that wanted to offer something to this very special world.
Thank you for reading these pages.- With affection,
A person without a halo.
This is a Dark Lore suggested and created by me, I apologize for the inconvenience.
