I have a question for all developers, writers and people who (try to) create a multi path story. I have the outlines for my story set, I have the outlines of each chapter with the corresponding final passage written down. I know where I want to go and what stops I want to have and I have figured out how to deal with the possibility that people select different routes.
Right now I am in the stage or writing many of my passages but I'm wondering if I should first write the most important passages (i.e. write the final passages first. Then the end of chapter passages, start of chapter passages before I fill in the rest in the middle or if I should follow the flow of the game and write new passages while I keep playing/testing the entire game. The game I'm basing mine of (The Good Son [I'm using their code as a template and have been adjusting it to fit my story]) had updates with each chapter being released through time which is making me think that I should write chapter for chapter.
How do you all do it? What can you recommend I'd do? I feel like if I go in to write the first chapter that I might forget something, or that my creativity isn't there and that the story will feel unconnected. I'll continue working on my project tomorrow but I could really use any tips/tricks you all might have <3
