Previously I planned a very simple Visual Novel and started working on it but eventually the project went into hibernation mode and still is asleep. The fun thing about that VN was the choice I was giving the players. One scene would have many elements that would influence the path that player would go down based on their choice. I end up finding a nifty tool called draw.io to visually design the flow of for my story. It's interesting how just having several small elements affecting a scene could lead to such a, pardon the term, cluster****! It was visually impressive to look at the full tree I build for my VN.

My current project is a bit more linear, requiring very little branching but I'm still going to make sort of flow chart to keep track of things. But it made me wonder, for people who have undertake project where there's branching choices with real consequences that change the course of the story; what's your mode of operation? What tool do you use? What's the process you go through so that everything makes sense whether you're just starting your project or you're in the middle or at the end?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
