Codex's Heretic
Yeah, I've finally managed to release this, now with 200 pages and featuring over 100 games: https://crpgbook.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/crpg-book-preview-2-1.pdf
I originally had promised this for last month, but a few issues appeared, as I posted on the book's blog:
I'm still fixing some issues, like typos, my inability write 'amount' correctly, the description of a few screenshots, a few format bugs and the NEO Scavenger review, which mysteriously vanished in the æther somehow, but the rest should be okay.
Hope you guys enjoy and thanks for everyone who contributed. If anyone wants to help the project, here's the list of games that still need a review: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t-49SyrsdP0M5re68sDH9cB2MrPqVKwQQiFF_54VibI/edit#gid=0
Now I can finallyrest for a while reply to all those PMs and e-mails that I've neglected...
I originally had promised this for last month, but a few issues appeared, as I posted on the book's blog:
I apologize for delaying it so much. As you read on the last update, I had created a “few 5-year summary” pages to split the reviews and give some context of what was going on around that time. They were mostly finished, but I couldn’t get them to feel satisfactory and keep delaying the preview to re-write them… after a while I got a bit burned down and was going nowhere, so I decided to shelve them for this update (I’ve kept only one, as a prototype). However, that meant I was suddenly 20 pages short, so it took me a while to fill that blank in with more reviews.
Another factor that delayed it was my big mouth. The whole P.T. & Konami deal in the last month led to a lot of debate about gaming history, and I just couldn’t keep my mouth closed, so I went and wrote A LOT about that in a Gamasutra article.
Regardless, this release marks about 50% of the book being done AND released, which feels great. The feedback for the 100-page preview was great, with over 32k downloads and a lot of e-mails, and I hope everyone enjoy & comment on this preview as well. There’s still a lot of work ahead, but it should go smoother from now on.
