What Is GameBoard, And What Is Its Purpose?

GameBoard is a Game Planning Plugin that allows developers to easily store and share ideas that they have with players that they collaborate with, without the need to ever leave studio or use an external Project Manager. Each idea can be created, removed, and edited within the plugin’s UI, and Ideas can also be sorted through via the Plugin’s Search Bar.

What Makes This Plugin Worthwhile?

When using external project management services, it can sometimes be time consuming, needing to constantly flip back and forth between studio and the external service, and it can also be a bit of a hassle, communicating with fellow developers to decide on what project management service to use, and then setting up the service for the game. By the time you have the external project manager set up, the genius game ideas that you had thought up at the spur of the moment have already vanished. This plugin completely removes that issue, because all you need to do to use it is open the game in studio, toggle the plugin window, and add a new idea.

FEATURES

Feature	Purpose
Item List	The list containing each idea that you have created.
Item Creation Menu	A Menu that allows you to easily add new planner ideas.
Search Bar	A Search feature, designed to allow the user to filter through ideas using keywords within their titles, descriptions, tags, or list ranks

Potential Future Update Ideas

* The only thing that might be added eventually is the ability to link planner items to camera positions or instances within the game, allowing the user to teleport their camera to a certain location via a button press on an item, or to select a certain object via button press on an object.

Is there any font customization or themes that users’ can use to make the plugin custom?

[Bettercat4 (Lynxmountain)]

no, i didn’t add any settings menu or anything like that to it, so it is currently just limited to the font i used for it.

if there is enough interest in that being a feature, or if the font that I used is too disliked, I could add some customization maybe.

Also, I thought about the addition of the themes, but at that time I was more focused on making the plugin functional, and because of how it is made, it might take a good chunk of time to add now, which Is a bit of a hassle, since I have already started to move onto another project which I made this to help me with.

Hey man!

Love the work, I made that game planner a long time back without any bigger ambitions and mostly as a test project as it was my first plugin. You don’t have to credit my plugin

Sincerely yours,

Small Plugin Update - Version 1.2

• Slight modification to how the plugin automatically chooses ranks when creating a new list item
• previously the plugin checked for the item rank with the largest number and then added 1 to it, but that caused issues if you wanted a really low ranked list item, such as if you added a list item with a rank of 100, but didn’t have 100 items, the plugin would automatically fill in the next rank as 101
• this issue has now been fixed, the plugin has been updated to use the first open number that is above 0, so if your item rank list is something like {1,2,3,5,7,9}, the plugin will now autofill with a 4 instead of a 10.
