Game logic/level design software (flowchart?)

by Mark Mo · in Artist Corner · 09/15/2008 (4:35 pm) · 1 replies

Not sure if I am using the correct terminology, but I am seeking a software tool that will allow me to "whiteboard" game logic in an easily readable "Visual" format. I have looked at Video Game Designer Pro, but it "seems" to be nothing more than a bulleted list of design topics.

I suppose an example is in order.

Opening Scene (question 1): Avatar Asks "How May I help You"

Answer A: "Tell me what services you offer" - go to question 2
Answer B: "Never Mind" - go to response 1

Question 2: Avatar Says "We offer the following items" - display clickable list
Response 1: "Have a great day!" - Exit conversation bubble

Clear as MUD?

If you after a program for creating diagrams such as flow charts or UML diagrams (or any kind of diagram really) try

Dia

its open source and free.
If you're after interactivity you'll probably need to use something else.
