March 3, 2006, Newsletter Issue #70: Writing Style for Games Manuals
Tip of the Week
Although generally a manual should be written in a formal, step-by-step way, games manuals are often written in a lighter, more informal manner. All useful information regarding technical issues must be included, of course, but the manual can also include topics such as storylines and character synopsis, and writing styles such as humor, slang, and contractions. However, please note that even with all of this informality, you still want the manual to be easy to follow, quick to use if the user needs a question answered, and fully edited in terms of spelling and grammar.
