Hi there, As someone who has made a few little tiny Choose Your Own Adventure games, I would like to offer my input. I believe making a Choose Your Own Adventure creator with an audio interface may actually be easier depending on how much you intend to limit people. If you intend to create games that resemble the old-style books, then it would simply be a matter of creating wizard that tells users to put in, for instance, a starting wave file, then asks them how many choices are given for the player's first decision. The creator could specify a number, then add wav files that would basically be the text of each choice being spoken. The creator would turn those ino a menu, so the player could use their arrow keys to cycle through their options. Once an option was selected, the corresponding file could be played and so on and so forth, always with the possibility of an ending. Now if you want to take full advantage of the fact that you're using a computer instead of a printed book, you'll have additional features to worry about. Random events, variables, that sort of thing. None of my adventures are long, but they all demonstrate things you can do with a computer version of that kind of story that you can't do with a book. You are welcome to use those as reference material if you like. Simply hop on over to http://www.brandoncole.net and click on Program Stoof. Yes, I said stoof. I'm actually a very weird person, and it is reflected in my web site. Heheh. Anyway, enjoy.
