It's almost exactly the same as writing game scripts/storylines and also overlaps with interactive fiction (which sometimes needs a knowledge of programming to accomplish the end results.) This is a kind of fiction that MUST have an outline to work. I'd think any resources that are targetted toward developing stories for video games would be helpful. Here's something similar to the outline I worked on (and now can't seem to find)
