Which recognition manual do you like better?

Post by Tankerace »

Just to get a quick poll. My original design for the manual was each ship class got a page, and the font was fairly big to make for easy reading, so you wouldn't have to squint or look to closely to find information. However, if more people would want, I can redo it into something more traditional, with smaller type, and a different formatting.

So, which do you like. Manual A (as it is now)

Or Manual B (would need to do)

I dont think it really matters Tanker. What format will it be comming out in? It should be scalable to print in any size eh?

You can probably scale it down.... but I was meaning format wise. My Original intent was something along the lines of those early style "flip-book" recognition manuals. Of course, you could probably scale it down if you wanted.

What I was thinking is people buy say a cheap notebook (3 ring binder), put this in it, but instead of reading it like you would a normal book, you flip the pages upwards.... best example I can think of is look at the recognition manual in "The Enemy Below". I'll probably just leave it as is, but maybe reduce the print size a bit.

I suppose.... that since Manual A is already done... I could just transform it into Manual B, and then have both ship with the game, and just print off whichever you like... Sound good?
