vivdunstan | Twine as a game design tool

Firing up Twine to figure out a plot/geography puzzle/state transition diagram for my current interactive fiction parser game. I don't usually do this but since this will require coding a lot of mini scenes and timed actions in Inform 7/10 I want to design first. Sort of like in pic (not this game).

And several minutes later after updating my Twine version I've made a good start. The Twine plot/puzzle diagram for just part of my new parser game is already vastly more complex than the example in the picture below. I've lots more to figure out before I can start coding it properly in Inform 7/10.

Screenshot from Twine showing a series of linked nodes and connecting arrows between them. Each node shows a location and description, or an action and the result of doing that action. This is a very rough incomplete game design, with nodes including "barrier", "touch the barrier", "into the woods" and more.
