General Discussion / PRINT Guide to Guns of Icarus Online

« on: February 10, 2016, 12:54:44 pm »

Hi people. Dunno if anyone actually read it, but I had to make a guide to Guns of Icarus Online - like, an actual printed book - as part of my school project.

Here it is.

COVER


SKILLS EXAMPLE


SHIP EXAMPLE


GUN EXAMPLE



I still have the source data, in the admittedly unlikely event that anyone actually wants a copy. I'd be willing to sort it out, just talk to me or something.

And Muse, I also have a copy for you guys if you want it.

The Gallery / Guns of Icarus Print Guide

« on: July 18, 2015, 01:15:19 pm »

So, as a few of you may have heard, I'm working on a Guns of Icarus user guide for print. It's my final assignment in a technical communications course. Yes, it's actually going to print. Hell, I'm gonna send it to Muse Games when it's done.

When's it gonna be done? The final due date is the end of August, so it's coming up quickly.

What's the objective of the guide? It's not to tell people everything - that's what the wiki's for. This is a print user guide to people getting started. They don't need to know all the advanced stuff, but they should know enough to get started. You know how new players barely know to use the Pyramidion's front guns as its main weapons? The guide's supposed to fix issues like that.

Okay, so a print manual isn't really gonna fix that. True. The assignment though called for a print manual, and so I'm doing a print manual.

How can you help?
Well, I'm looking for reviewers right now to make sure the stuff I'm saying is at least accurate insofar as a novice is concerned.

I'm also looking for layout ideas.

If you happen to be epic at Adobe FrameMaker, I need to talk to you.

The file's too big to send as an attachment, so I'll need to email it instead.

People who help can, at their wanting, have their name added to it (space pending; will not have more than 1 page for names, after all).

So yeah. Who wants to help me out with this thing?

Gameplay / Airship advice

I'm not bad with flying the Junkers, Goldfish, and Pyramidion after getting out of the novice matches, but I'm really wanting to start branching out into other ships, particularly the Squid, Spire, and Mobula. That said I'm having issues thinking about how to best fly and arm them. I'm looking for suggestions
