GD: Shooting Game Technical Manual (ideas, discussion)

[Randorama]

A little hijacking, my bad.

Who would like a guide that starts from the very basic aspects of "gaming" in general?

I confess that I am having a curious case of writer's block, so whenever I attempt to write about videogames, nothing comes out of my hands and my head. Certainly it has to do with me doing a job in which I need to write a lot, every day (academia).

I can propose you a few topics on which I would be very keen to share:

1. Basics of Visual recognition
2. How to design plans
3. Other (Please propose and I'll see what I can do)

Any suggestions?

I'm loving this topic. Good shit, Icarus.

Rando, I'd definitely read it. I love reading different takes on the "fundamentals" whether I learn something new or just brush up on what I already know.

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but any updates on this?

I see that there's a ver 0.01 of the first section; has that been uploaded anywhere?

Also, disclaimer: knowing how long it takes for me to put together an ST, this would be a very long work-in-progress.

You weren't kidding.
