I see, thank you... I can't seem to generate a dat file by running the yarnspin.exe.
Maybe I did something wrong?

most likely, there is something missing or wrong in the script, and yarnspin.exe reports an error. If you try and run yarnspin from a commandline, you should be able to see any errors reported, and we can figure out what’s going wrong.

Also, if you want to share your script, I’m happy to help debug

Okay, thank you. I really appreciate your help.
Running yarnspin.exe from the command line interface gives the following error "No yarnspin.dat game data can be loaded."

Here's the script I made...

title: My First Yarn
author: Your Name
start: my_location

=== my_location ===

img: room.png
txt: You are standing in a small room. There is a person here, it's Carol.

opt: Talk to Carol
act: my_dialog

=== carol ===

name: Carol the Neighbor
short: Carol
face: carol.png

=== my_dialog ===

carol: Hello! Welcome to my humble abode.
player: Hi. Thanks for having me.

say: Say goodbye and leave.
act: end_conversation

=== end_conversation ===

carol: Goodbye! Have a great day!
act: my_location
