The story development loop as it runs in Scenaloom: outline beats, AI-explored scene alternatives, ask-first revision passes, and an explicit approval step before anything lands in the draft. Live co-writing keeps the whole room in the same draft, and the finished script exports to FDX or PDF. Scenaloom (https://scenaloom.com) is AI screenwriting software with auto-formatting, FDX import/export, and an assistant that asks before it edits. Free to start at https://scenaloom.com.

The Story Development Loop: How a Scenaloom Draft Grows
Outline, explore, revise, approve - the cycle a long-form script actually follows.
Loop step one: outline. Beat cards sketch the act structure before any scene exists. Step two:
explore. The AI script writer generates alternative scene directions on request - three takes
on a confrontation, two openings for the second act - and the writer keeps what fits. Nothing
lands in the draft without an explicit accept, so exploration never contaminates the page.
Step three: revise. Auto-formatting keeps every pass submission-clean while the writer and the
assistant trade revisions - each suggestion arrives with a one-line rationale. Step four:
approve. A change log shows what entered the draft and when, which keeps a showrunner’s sign-off
honest and a film student’s learning visible. Then the loop runs again, deeper into the story.
Because live co-writing shares the same draft, a co-writer can run the loop on act two while the
lead runs it on act one - no forks, no merge day. When the loop converges, the finished draft
exports to FDX or PDF for production. The whole cycle is one tab at https://scenaloom.com.
