How do you get the images to work
If you're clicking Play or Test inside the Twine application, you won't be able to see the images from there, but if you use "Publish to File" and then open the resulting .html file in your browser, you should be able to see them that way.
ohhhhhhh, thank you!
wait that doesn't work either
Weird, thanks for letting me know. Is your index.html file in the top level of the unzipped game folder? The template .zip should be extracted, then any playable files saved in the same directory where you see the "images" folder. You should see "images" and "index.html" next to each other when you open the template folder. If it's not able to access those files locally, they won't be visible when testing.
Oh, I figured out the problem! It was looking for the images directly in my downloads folder for some reason; if I copied the folder from the extracted .zip folder straight to my download folder then the images load!
