To be successful in game development, it’s important to map out exactly where you want to go and what you want to do. There seems to be a lot of design-related posts in here, so I would say everyone should give Video Game Design Pro a shot. It’s a design documentation tool used to help guide users through the process of creating their designs. http://www.thecorpament.com/downloads.html

Personally, I wouldn't pay $150 for something like this when Notepad often gets the job done. When I need version history, I use SVN. Flowcharts and UML are nice, but hand-written design documents are fine. Lists and tables are interesting, but you can easily make that sort of data with plain-text, OpenOffice, or HTML. Sort of nifty, but no thanks.

I visit a few different game design forums and this is either a bot or a person spamming their product everywhere.

it is. when companies do that stuff. it makes me Leary about other ethical practices.
besides, there is a writing tool called WRITERS BLOCK(i just started writing a novel about 6 months ago) and I use it. It very awesome for brain storming, topic/idea sorting, etc... Very very configurable and you can try it free for 15 days. i bought it. it can color code my text boxes. So i can keep my yellow for "brainstorm ideas", green are my characters notes, "red" is for bad ideas that i have throw away and light blue for my time line and white for my main topic that i am working own.
just google it. i dont know the URL.

Yeah, that works pretty good too! Only problem is sending your ideas to other people if you're like me and don't have a scanner. I suppose you could type it up later and use the notebooks as drafts. :D

Quite frankly, Corpament should consider their product a failure if:
1. They have to use a spambot to advertise it.
2. OpenOffice (which is FREE) -- with it's plethora of writing, drawing and chart making tools -- can do a better job at project management than their $150 program.
Back to the drawing board, guys.

This isn't the worst spam I've read recently. Compared to "The Beatles caused the disintegration of mankind," a length discourse on how John Lennon is the Anti-Christ (an argument that is not only 40 years out of date but also ridiculous), I think it rates pretty lowly on the "you-are-a-time-wasting-lunatic" scale.

Quite apart from anything else, it's not _nessecary_ to plan a game out in it's entirety. Granted, it is more or less a requirement for modern projects, but some of the greatest games ever made were created using an evolutionary design process.
