Another Dig Site update...
I know, I know, I should be posting this to my Tumblr blog, but I thought I'd post it here first, as the comment locks are rather restrictive over there.
This past Friday, I'd showed what I currently have off to my mentor, an instructor at my university's closest campus, and got rather positive feedback on it.
He pointed out several very helpful things that I hadn't thought about, like putting the highscores page right in the main menu, some alternative suggestions for handling scoring, several very interesting "bonus/penalty" concepts, and recommended that I write a very simple story to help answer some questions players might have about gameplay, such as "Why am I doing this?", "Am I doing this legally?", and the like.
The story doesn't have to be anything very large, it could even fit on half a page.
Something like "You are an archaeologist at a dig site in [insert area here], looking for relics and artifacts to take back to the museum that hired you." may suffice, though I'll have to think about this for a bit first.
