Twine (Harlowe) Template

This is a basic Twine template created using Harlowe 3.3.7. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

The template is simple, but offers enough to get started with Harlowe:

• Game save option (only one slot);

• Game load option;

• Restart option;

• Character customization;

• A basic inventory system;

• Ability to add in-game credits;

• Option to add your social media or other external links.

FAQ

Is there an autosave option? 

No, there is not.

Can I dynamically change the theme from dark to light? 

You can do this in Sugarcube, but not in Harlowe (at least to my knowledge).

Can the user change the font dynamically? 

Again, no.

How much HTML and CSS knowledge do you need to work with the template?

I think you should have some experience with HTML and CSS, but everything is pretty self-explanatory.

Example of using this template can be found here.

WHY HARLOWE?

As explained on this page: “Harlowe is the simplest story format, it has been designed for beginners with limited (or no) programming experience”. This is the very basic setup that someone will probably need when taking their first steps with Twine. I have tried to comment what each line of code in the files does, but let me know if anything is unclear.
