Design And Development Of Animation Software For Interactive Storytelling

Abstract

Animation is crucial in producing immersive and compelling user experiences since interactive storytelling has grown in popularity across many digital media platforms. In this work, the design and development of an animation programme for use in interactive storytelling applications is discussed. To make it easier to create engrossing narratives, the programme intends to offer a user-friendly interface, effective animation capabilities, and seamless interaction with interactive features. In order to speed up the production process and provide fresh concepts, this project investigates an innovative method to the creation of animation story content. This study explores the viability of using digital storyboarding as a direct method for story creation and examines its benefits and drawbacks in terms of story development, structure, and its implications for animation education. The results show that the storyboard-driven approach to producing animation content is efficient in both time and effort. For beginners, this strategy works well because it helps with idea visualisation and refinement. Notably, the storyboard-driven approach can be used to develop a well-structured plot. This method's contributions to the story structure are primarily noticeable in terms of the plot, climax, and conclusion when compared to the conventional production pipeline. This paper supports the use of a digital storyboard-driven method for producing animation content. For new animators in particular, it offers benefits in terms of productivity and idea visualisation. The approach has a noticeable effect on tale structure, with an emphasis on important plot components. The conventional method of story development is still preferred by specialists, thus it is important to take into account personal preferences and domain knowledge.
