#PuzzleDependencyChart
One of the (if not THE) most useful tool for designing adventure games: The #PuzzleDependencyChart. Don’t confuse it with a flow chart, it’s not a flow chart and the subtle distinctions will hopefully become clear, for they are the key to it’s usefulness and raw pulsing design power

“The only modern program that does this well is @omnigraffle.omnigroup.com

OmniGraffle is built on top of the unix tool graphviz. It’s a nerd level 8 program, but it’s what I used for DeathSpank

I could spend all day long talking about #PuzzleDependencyChart. Yea, I’m a lot of fun on a first date”
