If your game had a box, what would the 'back of the box' description of story and gameplay be? would you just have a description of the story? would you just list the features? would you do a split of both?

I would do a split. My game focuses on story, but I have also created several features that are not part of the basic game system. I would want people to know they are playing something different from many of the other RPG's out there. Not to say mine is better, just that it will be a quality game.

Actually, I'm kinda thinking of making "boxes" to show off with the game (I know Dave Carter does the same thing).
Anyway, it'd be like other game boxes, with a short description of the game, a small list of features, and 2 or 3 screenshots.

I might give a bried synopsis of the opening story, but my game doesn't have a lot of story to tell at the start. And I wouldn't want to spoil things by telling any more of the story than that. I'd probably list a few of the gameplay features and show some screenshots for most of it.

I'll get back to this idea as I get farther along in completion. Perhaps I'll even set up a "back of the box" and post it on my website once I get to that point.

My game box would be solid black. On the back of it it would say something like "START A FIGHT" in light orange or something. I'd also have some screenshots below that. It's probably a good thing I'm not in marketing.....

It's probably a good thing I'm not in marketing..... The halloween game... Actually, that simpler approach with those colours would definitely stand out. Might not be as bad as you think.
