The Horror of Mistvale Hall was written using Wordperfect. In addition to the MS itself this includes story notes, chronologial and narrative outlines, and other supporting documents. Upon completion the MS was imported into LibreOffice Writer and the paperback and hardcover editions created. Body copy is Times New Roman and the title font is Rakkas, a Google font designed by Zeynep Akay.
Three distinct covers (eBook, paperback, and hardcover) were created in GIMP. Vector elements (typographic and glyphs) were created using Inkscape. Rakkas was again utilized for the title and author text. The subtitle font ("A Jonathan Quint Adventure") is Futura. The back cover copy is Times New Roman.
The eBooks (Kindle and EPUB) were created by importing the MS into Kindle Create. Kindle Previewer was used for initial proofing. The Kindle App (desktop and tablet) was utilized as well in the proofing stage.
Maps and floor plans were created using Inkarnate.
All files were versioned using Apache Subversion.
