DevLog #1 - HacknPlan for Shadow of the Moon (Apotheosis Studios Indie Game DevLog Intro)

Apotheosis Studios Indie Game DevLog #1. We have been working on Shadow of the Moon for a few months now and using HacknPlan daily. For those who are unfamiliar, HacknPlan is a unique game production tool which bring game design documentation and project management together to provide a systematicway of organizing, planning, and tracking the progress of game development. 

In addition to our specific trials and tribulations of Shadow of the Moon (and of the Indie Game Dev grind in general!) we also want or Indie Game DevLog to share our experience of HacknPlan with other game devs so they could learn the strengths and weakness of this tool. Even just using it for a few weeks we have found some helpful customization which we hope will assist others as well.

Baby Freya and Shadow of the Moon

Despite the newfound groggy-eyed joys of fatherhood, I have still been hard at work not only on RUNE's sequel (Oath of the Apprentice), but also on an exciting new Indie Video Game project called Shadow of the Moon (which takes place chronologically between The Rune Chronicles books 1 and 2). I'm so excited to tell you about this game I'm shaking... Or is that the coffee which is currently keeping me awake?! The world may never know...

For the past few weeks, I feel like I have been in a mental daze as I’ve watched RUNE’s official release date quickly approach. This emotive state of tense anticipation--filled with excitement, fear, and hope--is now coming to its apex, because after so many long months of waiting, the physical copies of Rune of the Apprentice are finally being shipped out!

“Stone has crafted an exciting fantasy epic set in a mysterious world of intrigue and adventure. Intricately written and populated with characters we not only root for but also deeply identify with, Rune is constructed with tangible enthusiasm that pours from every page. The flowing prose is experienced rather than read—and done so with vivid clarity. I’m highly anticipating the next in the series!” —J.F. Dubeau, author of The Life Engineered and A God in the Shed
