Nothing that specific. I tend to collect all my though snippets, conversation fragments, imagery I'd like to put in, and bits that I wrote but scrapped that might have something worth salvaging, into a big word file, to be sifted through when needed. When I start blocking out the next week or so covered in a new chapter, I just use a spreadsheet, creating some agenda-like blocks for each day, putting in the key events that will happen that chapter, and then filling out the time in between so the story flows from one event to the next and to weave in little side stories and things that strike my fancy. Its a format that works quite well with the day by day format usually encountered in slice-of-life VNs and sandboxes.
Old-school noodle and pen pretty much, ah. I was imagining flow-chart kind of stuff (engineering background, mostly).
Tbh, I did muck about a bit at the start with flowcharts and gantt charts at the start to figure out the correct order for certain events and revelations that all had dependencies on each other. But that was a bit of a pain, really, too many cards and bars floating around. In the end, having a list of events and their prerequisites, and then just shuffling until you have a valid and sensible order turned out to be less of a hassle and a better fit for writing a story, since you don't need to allow for every permutation, just the one that feels right.
No.
You're kinda fond of trotting that one out, aren't you? Well, if you got in on the first book of A Song of Fire and Ice, you could have gotten that newborn human life to get their guard duty certificate and maybe even make manager by now, create some life of their own, and gotten those a good part of the way through high school. And by the time it finishes, your newborn human life might just have carried you to your final resting place already if you don't lay off the fatty foods. Whoop, whoop.
Dude
, You will be going places my man.
Gawd, I miss the old Final Fantasy games... SteamDeck and my (yes, my) ISOs to the rescue..
It is not current. Just not many have been made available to non-supporters and they are not likely to be leaked out of respect for the developer...
