I got a bit whacky and did mine in rendered 3D, then went "hey, if I can do this in 3D as a still I can make it an animation", which was an absolute stroke of genius...then realized that CHYOA doesn't support most formats other than GIFs which eat some of the video quality because of the limited colors they have. RIP.
Surprisingly, it actually worked pretty well because the usual problem with a GIF is that it's a laggy motherfucker, but since you're pairing it with a written text that should take people a bit to get through you buy time for the content to load so long as you don't go overboard. I'd love it if imgbox videos work (maybe they do? I need to do some testing sometime) or modern formats like html5 since they'd be lightweight with a higher frame rate and better quality than a gif, but gotta deal with the hand we've been dealt.
