I have been looking at a few print and play games recently and I wonder:
Is it worth the time to make a black and white version of your print and play game? Simply so people don't have to use a lot of ink when printing?
I have noticed that I hesitate to print out a game if it's a lot of color pages.
At the same time, things usually look better in color, so you would have to make a concerted effort to create a black and white version I think...
Thoughts? Is it worth the extra time and effort? Maybe just start out black and white?
Hey X3M! Thank's for the comment! I must confess, I hadn't thought about people just printing in black and white for the very reason you brought up, printing a color image in black and white or grayscale just doesn't work sometimes (most of the time?)
I specifically made two versions of my print and play games, one with colors, one with shapes. But these are very simple games, not a lot of artwork. I'm not sure what I would do with more artwork intensive games.
I guess I was just wondering if it's a deterrent to people trying out print and play games if they ARE in color and might use a lot of ink.
