I started work on the manual for GSB today. It’s going to be a pdf that’s installed along with the game, although I am tempted to also make it downloadable before the game is finished, so people can give feedback on the game design.<\/p>\n
The good news is that I now have a list of 16 things I need to get done before the game will be alpha, then I need some alpha feedback and I’ll be looking at beta. Some of those 16 things are pretty big, and will take days, some are small, like doing an icon.<\/p>\n
One of the bigger ones is the manual. It’s surprising how much information I need to put in it to explain the mechanics of the game, without adding lots of stats stuff such as all of the ship modules and race backstories, which I haven’t done yet. I need to polish up the formatting, and get up to date screen shots for it all too, plus spellcheck, check the grammar blah blah.<\/p>\n
Those 16 things do not include graphical fluff and polish which I also intend to get done, but some of that might be done when I’m waiting for alpha or beta feedback.<\/p>\n
It’s good to have some sort of plan for getting from here to release anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
