+# Making a Story
+
+## Setting up
+
+You need these three files to make a story:
+
+- about.json
+
+- story.ha
+
+- characters.json
+
+## Filling out the files
+
+Inside about.json should be the following content:
+
+```
+{
+"title": "My Great Story",
+"description": "please read!"
+}
+```
+
+Change the title and description to whatever you would like.<br/>
+Inside story.ha should be the code for your story, see [the documentation on coding](/docs/SYNTAX.md) for help with this.<br/>
+Finally, inside characters.json should be a JSON formatted object containing all your characters.  See [the documentation on characters](/docs/CHARACTERS.md) for help with this file.<br/>
+
+## Making a story file
+
+A story file is just a zip file of these files, so zip up story.ha, characters.json and about.json into a zip file (make sure these are in the root of the zip file).
+
+## Playing your story
+
+To play your story, simply run cargo run \<your zip file\>
