I'm currently in the middle of writing the story for my game and I'm wondering how other people write stories:
What's your approach when writing a story for your game? Do you just wing it or plan out as much as you possibly can?
What do you start with, making up characters or do you come up with the story first?
When it comes to characters, do you write your characters while having a specific appearance and gender in mind or is the look of the character secondary?
Do you follow a certain structure when writing? 3 act structure for example.
Is there anything specific you need to keep in mind when writing for a specific genre?
Do you put game mechanics first or do you finish writing your story first and then come up with game mechanics such as puzzles, chasing, RPG elements, etc.
Do you write your story while working on your game with RPG Maker or do you copy paste the finished script later on?
It feels like I could go on with my questions forever, but I hope you catch my drift.
I would like to know what the writing progress is like for other people.
