I still have to adjust to the documentation of SugarCube and Twine in general. I haven’t had … Continue reading “Lee Prototype #2 Update”

Courtney’s Finalized Concept

What is your project idea?  My project idea is conceptually clear to me. I want to address the lack of transparency that many social media platforms and big tech companies are lacking with the general public. I feel that it is very important for tech companies to be held accountable for their actions, but they … Continue reading “Courtney’s Finalized Concept”
