Getting Started
There is a lot to EXODE. It may initially look scarily large and complicated – but you really don’t need to know much to start the game. This simple step-by-step introductory guide will lead you through starting your EXODE journey and will tell you what you need to know when you need to know it (and not before). It will be constantly revised and kept up to date. If you see anything that needs correcting, please alert digital-wisdom on the EXODE discord.
The Manifesto
The first and most important thing about any new game is to know what is in the designer/developer’s head. It will tell you what he believes is important, where his priorities are and, generally, which way he is likely to decide when there are multiple options. Conveniently, Elindos has written a Game Manifesto that gives a great feel for where his head is at, what he wants to do and what he wants to avoid. It is relatively short and extremely well written. You should go and read it now before proceeding.
Moving On
Once you've read the manifesto, you can move on to learn about joining the community and the current game status (recommended) – OR – you can DIVE RIGHT IN.
