SUGGESTED GAME WORKFLOW

Try Claude on a small game task

Draft a short quest with one meaningful choice and two outcomes.

  1. Provide the player goal, character voice, world rules, and dialogue length limit.
  2. Ask for a beat outline, then draft the lines with stable speaker and branch IDs.
  3. Move the approved lines into your narrative tool and play through every branch.
Before you use the result

Check branching logic, character consistency, text length, and any invented game rules. This is an editorial workflow suggestion.

An editorial starting point to validate in your own project.
