New layout[]
This article needs a new structure, and I have a concept of a possible alternative. I'm posting this here because, well, I was originally planning to do this all on my own, but realized I wouldn't have the time or the energy, so I thought maybe everyone could contribute a piece (or more) to the layout.
Here's my concept:
== Conception == == Backstory and setting == == Plot summary == == Credits == === Voice Cast === === Crew === === Art === === Programming === == Appearances == == Game mechanics == == Marketing == == Response == === Awards and nominations === == Trivia == == Gallery == == References ==

- I'm for it. Not real sure what to do about Backstory and Setting, though--it seems a little clunky to me. Other than that, it's great.
- What if we did something like this?
== Plot == (includes backstory) == Gameplay == == Development == === Crew === === Art === === Programming === === Voice Cast === == Appearances == (what is this?) == Marketing == == Reception == === Awards and Nominations === == Trivia == == Gallery == == References ==

- The format looks odd, imo. A bunch of wiki-based video game articles look similar to the proposed, so I don't see why we should be different. And the new structure doesn't look like as big of an undertaking as you're making it out to be:
- Story section can be shorten down to fit within the "Plot" section.
- Development will include the current "Pre-Reveal" sections information, with some new information.
- The "Gameplay" section can include some reworked bits from the "Style and Genre" section.
