LWAMI4 Mod Poll #13: Readme Preference for Upcoming Release

LuftWolf · 06-17-06, 07:11 AM

I have two ways I can go with the readme: 1) I can list every single change as best I can and try to explain why that is relevant to the player 2) I can write the readme as a guide to gameplay with LWAMI4 and of course highlight the most important changes for the player, while leaving some of the "under the hood" improvements unmentioned.

#1 for me has the downside of being rather tedious. It would read like a traditional mod/patch readme.

#2 leaves me some good room to give the players practical advice, and would be much easier to read. It would read more like a manual shipped with a game.

I think my choice is fairly clear, but I want to put it up to you guys, since we have a mix of people who might want one or the other.

Thanks!

Cheers,
David
