I used to love fictional writing, but haven’t written fiction in awhile (years, probably).
I’ve been thinking about creating a demo here. Maybe even a full story. And was curious what methods different writers have for writing IF.
Do you write the story first (or at least a chapter or certain path to a point) without coding and then go back and code?
Do you focus on coding first, writing just enough to have an outline, and then go back and “beef up” your writing?
Or do you code as you write (putting equal effort into both at the same time)?
Also, as someone used to writing stories (says choices), how do you adjust your planning/writing process to allow for the choices? Do you create different storylines for different choices? Different ROs? Or is it just a matter of tweaking scenes occasionally? Do you write normally and then go back and identify places where choices make sense?
