So you play video games and maybe you are so good in them. Maybe you thought about video games, but the task seems a intimidating. If you have some ability to write and store a large amount of information organized and you may want to try writing Guide your own game. Here are some tips to help you write terrible video game guides.
If you are interested in continuing to make games video, but do not know where to start writing a guide to the players is an option good first step. It gives you a good understanding of gameplay games and how they are structured. You do not have to be a great writer to create a great guide, but you must know some rules. It will also give you insight and experience to make your own games in the future.
Decide what type of game will guide you write
There are many different types of guides and the first thing you must decide what type is that you 'll write. There are four different types and the first type is the walk-through. This is the most common type where you guide the player through a series of steps in the match. This could be a complete guide or just a guide to some part or Quest. The second type is the character guide, which explains many different skills, options and capabilities of a specific character type. The third type is the beginner's guide that helps beginners familiarize themselves with a game, how it works and how the interface works. The fourth type is a performance guide that helps players achieve certain levels and goals in a game.
Once you've decided which type of guide you write you need to get into step The most important process you need to start a notebook and take notes. You could have a great understanding of the game, but your reader does and not when you write your guide you may leave out small details that are simple for you, but are not known by your audience. Take lots of Detailed notes and never make assumptions about what the reader knows your guide. If your guide will be long and complex, you may want to use flow mapping techniques to help you understand the choices and decisions are taken in the match. Flow Charting is an excellent way to manage tasks complex with many decisions.
Get a second opinion
Another important thing you must do when you write a guide is to get an unbiased opinion from someone else. This can be a friend, colleague or even someone anonymous 're on a forum or website. The important thing is that you have the person actually trying to use the guide without giving you advice or hints. This person will provide feedback and advice on the sections that were difficult to understand or that does not seem to make sense. Take into consideration all information to be the most important part of the process. It is easy for you to go through your guide, after all, you do not write it. But another person going through it did not have the same understanding as you. So get feedback and make changes that would clarify things for others players. One important thing to consider here is that if you have to explain anything to the test user guide of your blind, some something must be fixed in the guide. We need to be completely alone and understandable without having to explain something. You will not be able to explain things to all your readers right? If your test reader has any questions, you should write and post your answers in the written version of this guide.
Some Latest tips
You should always write spoiler alert at the beginning of your guide or at different subsections. The reader knows that you will solve very specific problems and tasks in the game. Some people like to solve problems for them, but many players like the challenge to figure some things by themselves. Writing spoiler alerts you give your reader the option and control how he or she plays the game
If you try to guide your first game, you should consider making a small. Challenge yourself to only a small portion Game, or only a certain task or Quest. This will help build writing skills and help you avoid the discouragement of not finishing guide. Writing a great guide can be a daunting task and it may be easy for you to renounce it. Start with a short guide and fill so you get the satisfaction of having carried out the project.
Chances are that you are very passionate about a particular video game and you have much knowledge about it. You probably enjoy playing the game a lot and writing a guide for players that you can show your expertise and even more pleasure in helping others play. You do not need to be a great writer to put together a great guide, but you do not need to follow some simple rules: keep the information organized, communicate clearly to your audience and ask someone to test your guide blind, attentive to all your comments are given.
