Riveting read, as usual :)
Arguments notwithstanding my insticts goes with silhouettes.
Reading all this I'm struck by an intense desire for the game to be accompanied by an actual paper book manual. Tiny, like the playdate itself, but well designed, with fun authentic details. Probably unrealistic given the work and logistics involved but one can dream.
Thank you. Well funny you should mention the paper book because I’ve been toying with the idea of kickstarting a limited physical edition that would have proper box like the old computer games, as well as feelies (maps, identification booklet etc…).
This is a tricky one to pull off, but if I was able to find 100 or so backers, there might be a way to finance a very small run. I’m going to study the costs and look for printing vendors and such so by the time the game is ready, I’ll be able to post something here and gauge if there’s enough interest.
