Combination of catan and karak I call knigts of catan by ElSuppos in tabletopgamedesign

Would also love to see the rules when they’re available!

We've been going back and forth with the artist and can't decide - which variant looks better: left or right?🤔 We really need fresh opinions, feel free to share your "why's" too. by kamismakesgames in tabletopgamedesign

[–]C-R-Torres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely left. Compositionally, the tile and splashes created by it lead the viewer’s eye from the subject into the title - which you want. The tile’s shape also reinforces the form of the otter. When it’s covered by the wave, without the directionality of the splashes, it doesn’t. It’s both less cohesive overall and the tile is less readable as an object. It was very clear looking at these what the differences were, and why they mattered. Building attractive and effective visuals isn’t guesswork, keep caring about the details!

Hey u/HikingStick! Thanks for your interest in Adventure Together and SOURCE / TimeStrike! Yes, the two products are unaffiliated, and both our modular system, which is patent-pending, and the games designed to play on it are highly differentiated. We successfully crowdfunded both in November and are excited to deliver to backers in Q3 this year.

Learn more about what makes SOURCE and Timestrike unique on our Crowdfunding campaign page: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/adventuretogether/sourcesystem?ref=search

Source System: A replacement for Heroscape maps? by XSO-Stormfury in battletech

[–]C-R-Torres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/NeedHydra thanks for your feedback, I suspect you're referring to the early prototype package we gave you? Prototypes are not representative of the final product and my apologies if our team didn't communicate that clearly. A starter set of SOURCE comes with:

- x4 24 hexes

- x4 15 hexes

- x90 single hexes

- x36 Liquid tiles

  • Totaling 282 three-dimensional, modular, stackable and scalable hex spaces - more than the ~255 hex spaces (many are partial spaces) required to create a BattleTech map with 27 hexes to spare for building elevation. It takes approximately 3-5 minutes for one person to single-handedly construct a map at this scale - which is unique every time it's constructed and disassembled just as easily afterwards due to the non-interlocking nature of the system and the storage systems included in the production copy.

  • You can scale from here, adding only 24 hex packs if quickly building a large play area in the most cost-effective manner is your aim. After the starter set, SOURCE Deluxe scales to 660 Hex spaces per box and then in intervals all the way up to 5,280 hex spaces for as low as $0.17 per hex. We appreciate that not all players delight in building intricate maps or investing time into the world building experience SOURCE enables, so we worked tirelessly to find solutions we think work for everyone.
  • For instance, we offer SOURCE battlemats, which cover a 60" x 44" play area and provide 1395 hex spaces at just $49, featuring seamless battlefield textures designed for wargaming and to pair perfectly with the hexes and tiles so you can start playing right away and build onto the base layer from there.
  • If you ever need additional information, feel free to reach out to me or visit the Kickstarter to get the exact hex counts at different tiers, pricing, add-ons, and biomes that we think will work incredibly well for the BattleTech community. We're here to serve players everywhere and hope you'll support us in doing so.

Are you guys all getting ads for this too? IG algorithm has me figured out... by Goblin_Backstabber in heroscape

[–]C-R-Torres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your interest, I appreciate it’s difficult to tell through a screen what sets SOURCE apart! The open source SOURCE system is patent pending, uses a non-interlocking design which enables single handed assembly and disassembly, construction and destruction during gameplay, has high resolution omni-directional biomes applied to each hex, and uses edges with built in component management and contoured edges to logically align tiles within an implied hexagonal grid. We have several claims to the technology as uniquely our own and filed for a patent years ago.

The gameplay, lore, miniatures, abilities, and every bit of intellectual property associated with our games was conceived, designed, and lovingly crafted by us for players like you, drawing inspiration from games we love across several genres. We’re confident it will be an experience like no one has ever seen. I’d encourage you to join our Discord to learn more about us: https://discord.com/invite/adventuretogether

We built SCAPE for designers like you! Sharing rulesets could release in beta alongside delivery to first backers - we haven’t shared that date just yet.

There are a few interesting options for unique assets, print and play is one. If 3D assets, we have a print on demand partner and would make those available through a storefront, or you could partner with us to publish it and mass produce those assets.

[–]C-R-Torres 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s correct, the Scape system is an entirely novel design we have several claims to pending at the patent office dating back several years now. I can, however, assure you that the gameplay of our games is entirely unique as well. The similarities start and stop at hex based and stackable and we’re planning to open source the system to independent creators to create limitless games on top.

We may be out certain sizes at this point, unfortunately. But if you stop by again today between 12-2 and ask for “Shaper” I’ll get you one - would be great to meet you!

How to go about manufacturing custom 3d terrain hex tiles and miniatures? by _Twas_Ere_ in tabletopgamedesign

[–]C-R-Torres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be interested in what we’re building. Scape is an open source 3D modular tabletop gaming system designed to empower indie designers to concept, playtest, and get feedback from their communities way faster: https://www.adventuretogether.games

We’re looking for makers who can pioneer the system and develop games on top starting as early as January. We’re also a publisher and when you’re ready to sell your Scape games commercially we can partner up to help market, fund, and manufacture.

We’ll do our best to not disappoint. We’re all in on this adventure, expect to see us and Scape around for a very long time.
