no boring place to be published i guess.

cartooning as a hobby :o... i really love your work man!

I used to dabble in cartooning in another life long ago and still consider myself to be a decent artist... but you really have got it.

is there a web site or gallery somewhere in which i might view more of your toons and other works?

Just the small gallery in my profile which needs updating. :oops:

fine stuff :yeah:

get to work on that SH5 manual for us Torplexed!

illustrated of course.

Aye-aye Captain! :salute:

All right, make it in recycled paper and go on with the 300+ pages of detail, history and tactics :rock:

I'm sure we'll get the same rubbish that we got with SH3 and SH4 (you know, "oh sh!t, only one week before release, we better start the documentation").

Does anyone remember the Microprose manuals from the 1980's? Now they were manuals. :up:

No staples! When I made kitty litter out of the SH4 manual the staples ruined my shredder. Sending Ubi the bill...:D

Perfect manual guide: - short historical description - description of management - tactical and strategic notes - advices for new players - equipment's parameters (to compare) - advantages and disadvantages of systems - "how it works" (how game calculated results) I purchase SH5 by internet with PDF guide but only price will be less than box version...

It does seem a shame that documentation frequently seems to be an afterthought when it comes to software development.

But as a counter point, I once worked with this guy who would never read any computer game manual until he played it for at least 6 months. Then, after reading the manual, in his own words - "It was like getting a brand new game!"

A very strange individual. But I wonder in the computer gaming world (not just sims) how many customers actually RTFM?

I would imagine that in the Simulation community, it would be pretty high, but in other games??

Judging by the existence of this Forum, I would suggest that like most male humans, RTFM is the last thing anyone does until they hit a problem they can't solve by button mashing.:DL
