Shred Nebula Design Documents

CrunchTime Games has released the design documents for Shred Nebula. For anyone interested in creating games for XBLA, PSN or WiiWare, this is a pretty good look at what a game maker has to do.

Anyone not in the industry but interested in the business aspects should check it out.

I don't know much about the game, but the documentation is definitely good. I can honestly say that the docs give me a good idea of the game play (from a development/pitch standpoint). It was good enough to get me to try the game, which was released this past Wednesday.

Initial impressions are pretty good. The design docs say this game was influenced by Asteroids, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't fashion the basic controls more like Asteroids (rotate left/right, accelerate based on where you are pointed).

Overall though, it's definitely worth checking it out on XBLA and I have gained tremendous respect for any company who is willing to share documentation info like this. Thanks!
