How are everyone's mysteries going? We are halfway through the jam, and I cannot wait to see what everyone is working on!
Personally, I am in the process of finishing mysteries for the new supplement that I will be itch-funding (coming SOON I hope!).
If you have any questions about the process: mystery writing, layout, setting up itch pages, feel free to leave your questions here!
ack! sorry, itch ate the notification for this question it would seem!
I know you are already done and released, but in case anyone else sees this:
My tip, as a person who is bad at layout and pays other people to do layout, is to keep it simple! Simple and clean is always, imo, the best way to go. Try not to split sections over pages if possible, because that helps readability and accessibility (but sometimes that just isn't possible, so don't fret too much).
Include symbols for the cards where you can, because I find that helps reinforce the correct suit.
But importantly, have fun and don't stress about it too much. If the layout is clear and easy to follow, you are doing fine!
I just discovered this jam, and Paranormal, Inc., and wanted to hop in! I'm hoping that I'll be able to get my mystery done on time, but there's a good chance I can do it. I'm really having to change up my usual mindset of coming up with a culprit/cause first, so that the players can come up with their own solutions, but I'm liking the creative freedom that allows in the roleplay!
I'm still in the brainstorming phase, but I am planning on starting writing very soon. I'll probably start by making up a cover page once I settle on an idea; that always inspires me to keep working when I start to lose focus.
