Twine is nice, and fun to write with. But I had the same problem as you, I always wanted to see my stories as I wrote them. Here are some gorgeous ones to inspire you: [http://outspaced.fightingfantasy.org/SVG\_Flowcharts/main.html](http://outspaced.fightingfantasy.org/SVG_Flowcharts/main.html) - There’s all the fighting fantasy books there, as well as my favourite series, the Virtual Reality (which remind the most of Choice of Games). I wrote a piece of software to help generate these kind of diagrams - try it out if you want, it’s free and at [http://www.crumblyheadgames.co.uk/the-gamebook-authoring-tool/](http://www.crumblyheadgames.co.uk/the-gamebook-authoring-tool/). It’s also rather new, and if you have any issues or ideas for it reply here or drop me an email 🙂 If you don’t want to use it, but you are quite technical take a look at graphviz. [http://www.graphviz.org/](http://www.graphviz.org/). It’s a great piece of open source/multi-platform software that lets you generate graphs/flow charts using a fairly logical scripting language.

You’ll find lots of options and I’m sure you’ll find something that fits the bill! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/flowchart-style-game-design/1187)._
