Flowchart style game design

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 - 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/. It’s also rather new, and if you have any issues or ideas for it reply here or drop me an email :slight_smile:
If you don’t want to use it, but you are quite technical take a look at graphviz. 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.
Finally, you can do a web search for mind-mapping software. Organising your thoughts is a similar technique to writing a multi-choice book. You’ll find lots of options and I’m sure you’ll find something that fits the bill!
