Walkthrough and Game Guide, for version 0.8.2
I have updated my walkthrough and game guide for 0.8.2. This includes the new Rachel, Cassandra, Lucy and Miss Potts content. I've also included a link to
yuserneim's student guide. The walkthrough and guide have been added to my original post
here, or you can download them directly below.
As always, comments or corrections are always very welcome, so please let me know what you think, or if there's anything else you think should be added. Hope you find them useful!
Future Updates
It's becoming clear that these guides probably aren't as useful as they were. They're too large, and that often means a lot of scrolling up and down to try and work out how to complete the various tasks. (The only way to prevent that is to make them even larger by repeating a lot of the text, which I don't think is a good idea!)
So, now that Altos is about to bring out Chapter 2, I'd like to know what people think. Should I continue to update them? And if so, how should I do it? Should I keep the existing format? Or perhaps split them so that the Chapter 2 stuff is in a separate document?
One idea I had was turning it into an online wiki. That would maybe help reduce the cross-referencing problems, and it means that we could include other content as well, such as Yuserneim's student guide if he wants. However, there's always the danger it would be suddenly banned or something. (I'm aware that this game is very close to the boundaries of what some sites would find acceptable.)
The other option, which I've seen with some other games, is an offline HTML help file (i.e. a zip file with a series of HTML pages). We'd have more control over that, but I'm crap at web design so the help pages would either look as if they came from the 1990s, or I'd need someone to help me.
So what do people think? The walkthrough and game guide are only useful if they actually help people, so what do you think would be best?
