Version 0.6.4 is out!
After a bit of work, a new version of this book is out!
This is more of a maintenance release than anything else, sadly my job doesn't allow for much research and writing.
Let's see what's new:
- Fancy Boxes: Scattered throughout the book, you will find "tips", "pitfalls" and "trivia" boxes;
- Ray Casting: Added a small subsection dedicated to explaining ray casting;
- Engagement vs Fun: Here we tried to explain the fundamental difference between the two;
- Filled out some sections under the "community" chapter;
- Reorganized the "community" chapter, and changed it to "keeping your players engaged";
- Added a subsection about "New Game +";
- Fleshed out the "Mod" subsection;
- New "Grinding" and "Farming" sections;
- Added section on "designing a level/experience" curve;
- Moved the "list of listings", "list of tables" and "list of figures" at the end of the book;
- We have a back cover! (Though it's very rough)
- Reviewed and fleshed out the section on loading screens;
- New sections on gameplay and story flow;
- Various fixes.
There are also some new things for who wants to contribute:
- Now the "make" commands are cleaner and more extensible
- Deleted some raw LaTeX code, replacing it with pandoc lua filters, the final objective would be getting rid of all raw LaTeX code to allow for epub releases.
Thank you everyone for reading!
