I'm not sure if this belongs here or on the game thread... because it's about games, but also a writing question. Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place.
Anyway, I know it's ridiculously hard to get a video game made, but I've been toying with the idea of writing one just because (and my husband is studying video game design, so you never know). But how is it done? The best way I can think of is an enormous flowchart, or maybe a giant map with corresponding flow charts based on location. What kind of format is normally used? I think it could be a really exciting project.
I'd either like to write an open world game or a straightforward action/adventure.
Is there anyone out there with game writing experience? How do you go about it? Even people without experience, any ideas on how it could be done?
