I wrote and directed WE KNOW THE DEVIL and HEAVEN WILL BE MINE. I also wrote for NEON WHITE and I currently work at game company doing game things.
Going to start writing a script where should it be?
Lawful Neutral: Scrivener
Lawful Insane: composed in a text editor with nested folders and Yarn/Ink syntax
Ascendant Nirvana: Handwritten in a physical notebook
Ancient Greek GameDev Punishment : Google Sheets
writing directly in the Notion knowledge base went from Chaotic Good to "the thing that the This Is Not A Place Of Honour markings were trying to warn about" overnight
I love notion[BEFORE THE FALL] for notetaking, design docs, moodboards, but I've struggled to write directly in it for some reason! I think composing in a web page just will never sit well with my brain
yeah I've been doing it in the app version (previously notion, now we're trying clickup as a replacement) just to avoid the distraction of having all my other tabs there. still not sure if this is the process I ultimately want to go with, though... maybe one day I'll get to see my dream of actually have a bespoke editor for every project that actually delivers on everything I'd want
I really want to invent Scrivener, but for Narrative Design...a far off dream
scrivener rules as like, a Final Gathering Place of things but truly nothing beats the classic of bad handwriting on good paper. what is the point if you're not scribbling illegible 3 am notes on like midori or tomoe river paper!!!
i started my tabletop game in google sheets and i'm still paying for it like odysseus at sea for ten years before he gets to go home (finish making the game)
I went from Notepad++ to Ghostwriter. I like the ability to write in markdown.
Sheets is bad but Docs is much worse, especially when your game director chooses a game font without smart quote glyphs
