We’ve decided to work on making our own prototypes for physical play testing. Many of our cards currently have placeholder art that is not commercially-printable. Rather than having blank cards printed, we’ve chosen to do this ourselves. Once we have some complete prototypes made, we’ll be putting out a call for play testers in the…
It’s been nearly 10 months (I think) since we started working on Diabolical Dave’s Rumble Throwdown. Right now, we’re doing internal play testing on Tabletop Simulator. We’ve had our graphic design team, Owl Ghost, develop card layouts for the three main decks in the game. We have our artist, Giulio Fanfoni, fleshing out the Ring…
After reworking some class ideas for the TRPG/RPCG that I am developing, we decided on a few main classes for people to choose from. These classes are displayed on larger cards similar to those found in Arkham Horror. You can read more about my game and it’s development on my blog: thevideogrant.blogspot.com This particular update…
Got back from the convenience store printer to try setting up a rough look at the game I am working on. Any and all feedback is welcomed as I am sure there are probably other games that have done this before. https://thevideogrant.blogspot.com/2022/04/test-cards-printed-and-initial-set-up.html
Hello BGDL community, My name is Grant Gorsegner and I am an amateur board game designer working on a Role-Playing Card Game called “Illevar.” I publish and display most of my progress on Milanote (link below) and on my personal blog (link also below). I am hoping to get feedback on the project as well…
My first board game design, Don’t Let It Die has been picked up and had its art redone by the amazing Sam Milham. It’s getting a kickstarter campaign that starts up in April, you can follow a long here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/samuelmilham/dont-let-it-die-a-co-op-asymmetric-survival-board-game
In my mind this is an obvious truth, although I could be wrong: New games, like new ideas, don’t really exist. Everything is a modification of something else. The reason I am making this game is not because I think I can do something completely new, but instead that I want to create the game…
So this game has been knocking around in my head for about 3 years now. I have finally had a couple of breakthroughs, I think, that will allow a playable game to emerge. Maybe. I am still stuck on a couple of important aspects, but I thought this would be a good time to reflect…
[This is a re-post of an article I wrote in my game design blog in 2016] I’ve been working on Harvest lately, an upcoming TMG title in the Harbour universe (side note: watch Harbour on season 4 of TableTop with Wil Wheaton!). Here’s the description of Harvest from BGG: Mind the fields of Gullsbottom! Plant and…
[This is a re-post of an article I wrote in my game design blog in 2014]Game balance is tough to achieve. It takes more than a little bit of art, and more than a little bit of science too. Each game is different, and each game requires different levels of balance in each of their elements…
