The Making of Beyond Solo - A Solo TTRPG Journaling Game

Creating Beyond Solo The development of Beyond Solo, a solo TTRPG journaling game, involved careful planning and decision-making to create a seamless and immersive experience for players. This developer log will delve into the technical aspects of the project, discussing the tools and techniques used to create the digital PDF copy of the game.

Design Tools and Techniques When creating Beyond Solo, our team leveraged various design tools to produce a visually appealing and user-friendly PDF. We chose Adobe InDesign for its advanced layout capabilities and integration with other Adobe applications like Illustrator and Photoshop. This allowed us to create stunning visuals, consistent typography, and an overall polished look for the game.

Digital Interactivity We aimed to make Beyond Solo a dynamic and engaging experience by incorporating interactive elements within the PDF. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro, we added form fields, buttons, and navigation features, enabling players to efficiently input their journal entries, access different sections, and navigate through the game with ease.

Optimizing for Accessibility Accessibility was a crucial consideration during the development of Beyond Solo. To ensure the game is accessible to a wide range of players, we used Adobe Acrobat’s built-in accessibility features, such as adding alternative text to images and using clear, legible fonts. Additionally, we optimized the document structure and utilized clear headings to enhance the reading experience for screen reader users.

File Compression and Optimization To provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for users, we needed to ensure that the final PDF file was optimized for size and performance. Using Adobe Acrobat’s optimization tools, we compressed images and removed unnecessary elements without compromising the quality of the document. This resulted in a smaller file size, allowing for faster download and loading times.

Final Thoughts The development of Beyond Solo focused on creating a visually appealing, interactive, and accessible solo TTRPG journaling game in a digital PDF format. By utilizing the capabilities of Adobe InDesign, Acrobat Pro, and other design tools, we crafted an immersive experience for players, enabling them to embark on a personal journey of growth and discovery through the world of solo TTRPGs.
