The Starcube Labs Blog

=============================

Writing Guide & Tips

Starcube Labs' blog is dedicated to tips, tricks, and experiences having to do with video game development. The end goal is to be a repository of neat development processes we've all come across as we make our games! The rules are honestly pretty lax, generally any on-topic article can be posted.

That said, here are some quick points about what should and shouldn't be on the blog:

  • Keep it Professional:
    • Not to say that you need to keep it formal, be as informal as you like! Just make sure you'd be okay showing it to your boss.
    • This means no NSFW content, and keeping profanity to a bare minimum, please.
  • Keep it Respectful:
    • This blog is for helping folks out! So broadly speaking, try not to bring anybody down or keep anybody out, yeah?
  • Keep it On-Topic:
    • This bears repeating, this is a blog about video game development processes. The stuff we talk about here generally leans towards being fairly practical topics.

Tools of the Trade

  • Articles can be written by pulling down the Github Repo and adding a Markdown file written in your Editor of choice. A fantastic example would be VSCode (which comes with a previewer), but if you know what you're doing you could do just fine in Notepad.
  • Alternatively you can also add and edit your Markdown files directly in the Github Editor online.
