Press Kits

[michaeltlombardi]

As a game developer with a Platen site, I want to be able to draft and share press kits for my work the same way I do the rest of my development so that I don't need to track an additional workflow.

Proposed ideas:

• A page archetype for press kits
  • Should be optimized for SEO/Sharing on social media
  • Should provide a template (metadata, announcement body, highlights, pre-order/mailing list, credits, additional info (related game(s), publisher), additional images.
  • hugo new games/game-name/presskit.md and hugo new --kind platen-presskit press/my-game.md should both scaffold out a markdown template with instructions/suggestions and sensible defaults.
• Useful shortcodes to reduce copy-paste:
  • presskit-announcement - an html section with the pk-announcement class
  • presskit-highlights - an html section with the pk-highlights class
  • presskit-preorder - an html section or aside with the pk-preorder class
  • presskit-mailing-list - an html section or aside with the pk-mailing-list class
  • presskit-credits - an html section with the pk-credits class that can build from data
  • presskit-related-content - an html section with the pk-related-content class that can build from data
  • presskit-publisher - an html section with the pk-publisher class that can build from data
  • presskit-image - an html section with the pk-image class that can build from data or take markdown of an image declaration
• CLI tool and/or Github Action to generate a press kit zip from a press kit
  • Draft once, multi-format output
  • Get something that can be emailed/put on gdrive
  • Ensure highest quality images can be used by press
