March News Releases

• No news releases for March

CQ StoryHammer game system BETA (v.0.1.0)

• Overall Status: On track for 4th Quarter 2018 release

• Current Milestone: Draft all the sections (Order of production: Setting > Theme > Action > Character > Plot)

• Current Milestone Status: On track for 3rd Quarter 2018 deadline

• March Report:
  This month, production was focused on completing the Setting and Theme chapters of the CQ StoryHammer game system. The plan was originally slated to tackle Action instead of Theme this month, but due to content flow and timing, it was determined that it would be more appropriate to complete Theme before Action, so Theme was moved up in the production schedule.
  
  Setting (including locations, environment and structures) is a huge part of storytelling and the corresponding chapter explains how to narrate and navigate settings throughout CQ StoryHammer games as well as how to create settings using the CQ StoryHammer crafting methodology.
  
  The Theme chapter in CQ StoryHammer might be better named "How to Play" as it includes rules on how to obtain a story, how to narrate a game, and how to start. It also explains core concepts about stories, sessions, and hosting duties. The chapter will probably undergo a name change or two in the future.
  
  You can always see which pages have been updated and when on the progress page at the StoryHammer website.
