The author, a game enthusiast, was inspired by playing RPGs as a child to create an interactive storytelling experience called Vonage's Gate using Vonage AI Studio and Messages API. The game follows a "choose your own adventure" style where players make decisions that shape the story's outcome. To create this game, the author set up a database in Notion to store gameplay values and connected it to Vonage AI Studio for data access and integration. The author designed a conversational flow using drag-and-drop nodes, including webhooks, conditions, and actions to connect the database with the chatbot. With these components, players can engage in an interactive story where their choices determine the outcome, showcasing how game development principles can be applied to build engaging experiences without extensive coding knowledge.
