Graphical Representation of Story in Editor

6 years ago

I know this suggestion has probably been brought up before, but I think it would be really convenient if we could see the pages of our stories and how they link to each other in a graphical format rather than the list form they are currently in. If you don't understand what I am talking about, I'm envisioning something like this, which is Through Time's walkthrough. It would have the page names in the boxes and lines between the pages. I know the graph would become very long very quick, and some people might not like that, so it could be something optional that you could switch off in the settings.

Yes, it's been recommended before, and no, we're probably not getting anything like this at any point in the next ten years. There are programs that let you do this however. I've even used MSPaint with some boxes and lines when doing rough planning.

With scripting something like that being generated would be really difficult. I don't anticipate it ever happening.

Twine does this, and I'm working on CYS > Twine export.
