Concept Art - Space Quest Manual (Patreon)
Content
As soon as I got into the pixel art my immediate thought was,
"How do I make this work for me? How do I apply this?"
Et voilà!
Very exciting. It's going to take a long time but I don't think there's any going back to when the Space Quest Advanced Manual wouldn't include pixel art.
In total there will be three manuals.
1) Basic Manual: "A free downloadable, you can print and play on the same day."
2) Captioned Video Tutorials: "For those like me—who need assists—also free!"
3) Advanced Manual: Included in boxed kit. Color cover. Multiple game/challenge modes. FAQ. Lore. Wordier 100%
I still want to keep the style as simple as I can for that stylish retro look, not to mention it'll be easier to print. But the cover I intend to go all out on.
One setback I've hit...
...of the five original game testers only three completed their game and provided feedback. The rest ghosted. 3/5 isn't bad but I absolutely need more information. It's enough to tweak the basic manual so I guess I'll have that to occupy my time. But still. Frustrating.
I'll make revisions and open it up to a 2nd round of testers. This time my instructions will be crystal clear. My original directions could've been better written.
