I'm designing a "Choose Your Own Adventure" styled game app. Once I finish deciding how the app will work, I'll write around x (perhaps ten) stories with all their branches, then hire / work with someone(s) for the illustrations and programming. Accounting for the planning fallacy, I expect to finish designing and writing by sometime in Summer 2013.

Have you consider becoming a writer for choice of games instead of developing your own platform?

I did not! In fact, I posted here precisely to hear such a concern. However, I have now considered it and think what I'm designing would provide more value and better attract players as well as consumers; I think my business model is superior to theirs.

If you don't mind answering on a public forum I'd be interested in knowing how you plan to do so. I've played several choice of games and have been pretty satisfied with it.
