So as someone starting out with IF I was wondering how other people go about organizing their writing and design.
At this point I’m going about things kinda like this:
General Outline (Goals/Maps/Major Plot)
Coding of Map and Objects Prep for Puzzles and Mechanics
More Detailed Writing for Plot and Discriptions
Implement Descriptions and Scenes
Polish and Testing
Here’s a post I wrote a while back about general process, and here’s a pretty detailed description of how the puzzles and geography evolved in my game Bronze.
Postmortems on specific games can also be a good place to look. Some places to start finding those are on ifwiki through a keyword search or from the Craft page.
Thanks.
I had read the making of bronze when I was doing my initial run of reading through the documentation. Looking forward to reading through the rest. The reading list expands!
