I'm back to working on the POS albatross.
I don't know how to organize it.
1) It could be a collection of bullets. "Here are the 196 thesis that make up good writing"
2) It could be organized via dimensions. Ease of Use, Evocative, Interactivity (and a few misc chapters as well) The major topics then fit in to these as examples/principals of thoise major headings.
3) It could be organized by subject area. Read-aloud. NPC's. Villages. etc.
I'm leaning towards #3. But this means Evocative NPC's, Ease of use NPc's and Interactive NPC's could get three seperate write up. IE: NPC qualitylies are splot between three areas. I'm forcing that example a bit, but you get the idea.
I'm more taken by "how to write with usability in mind" than I am with "how to write NPCs"; it seems more natural that way even though it leads to some disconnect with regard to individual topics. IE: how to write an NPC. Hmmm, maybe a seperate chapter on Putting Things Together for those (few?) topics that work like that?
There's also a subheading relationship I'm not sure how to handle yet. Well, two at least.
Major Heading - Usability
Minor Heading - Scanabaility
Sub-Minor Heading - Terseness
Sub-Sub Minor Heading - Individual common use cases. This room is a , this appears to be ... (which is both padding and not evocative, another mixed case)
The next is getting a bit silly, I think?
Maybe major and minor headings and then a list of topics "the 193 thesiss os Usability-Scanability". Tis gets rid of the sub headings after that point.
idk.
I'm thinking out loud.
