Dublin Twine & Jam was an event on November 24th 2013 where we shared food and made Twine games. We had a great turnout for the day and created loads of games (loosely!) based on our theme "Flirt" combined with the randomly chosen participant twist from the day of "Land Before Time".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twine & Jam is a unique, one-day event open to everyone of all backgrounds, interests and experience, where we'll get together to write pieces of interactive fiction using Twine.
Do you like writing or telling stories? Maybe you might even want to make a Twine story entirely from pictures or sound or vines? Then come! We'll be on hand to introduce you and show you the ropes in a few minutes. Cost of admission? Simply bring some food with you for people to share if you can, so we can enjoy a lunchtime feast together. If you make it at home, even better! We'll also have Tea/Coffee & additional food available.
We are currently full up to capacity, but if you would like to be added to the waiting list, then click the 'Booking' button to the left. The theme for the event is: 'Flirt'. So let that simmer and think about ideas for the story or the game you'll write. An additional twist to this theme will be announced on the day itself to keep things interesting!
The event will start at 10am, kicking off with an introductory workshop, and writing will end at 6pm when the stories are uploaded online for you to share with the world. After that we'll close with Twine Tasting where we'll play each other's games and people will be invited to give readings of the work they just made, possibly even controlled by the audience. And then to the pub if you want!
Thanks to SixMinute for letting us use their lovely office space at 68 Pleasants Place D8 for the event. It will all be taking place on Sunday the 24th of November 2013 as part of the celebrations surrounding the Irish Independent Games event State of Play who are kindly officially sponsoring the event.
Here are some great articles and Twine games so you can learn what all the fuss is about in the meantime:
- Selection of 2013 Twine Stories
- More Twine Stories
- Creation Under Capitalism
- Anna Anthropy and the Twine Revolution
- A Story about a Story about Stories
- Twine, Creativity and Freedom: The Leo Loikkanen Interview
And some great learning resources if you want to get a head-start:
- Twine download
- Anna Anthropy's Twine Tutorial
- Porpentine's Twine Resources
