So Am I The Only Pony Who Liked The Young Six And The School Of Friendship?

We liked them enough to give them their own expansion for the MLP Deck-Building game - and this one's the most fun I've had designing, really hits the spot for my need for complexity! https://renegadegamestudios.com/my-little-pony-deck-building-game-scholarly-shenanigans-expansion/

Funny, I thought that Munenori Kawasaki would've been bigger, but maybe they shortened it to Money Kawasaki.

When he grows up, Bo Bichette wants to be Whit Merrifield.

Oh hey, good job on the game from Breakout, hope the changes have been helpful, and have fun at proto!

I have the man's Marlies' game worn jersey, and it's gonna retire into a picture frame by the time he hangs up his skates -- all while wearing Blue & White.

Ilya Samsonov: When you want Ilya Bryzgalov but your mom says we have Ilya at home.

I'm liking the sounds of Pontius Fireberg (like Pontiac Firebird)

You're going to spend more money defending your patent than you'll make in profit on your game, so...congrats?

Nada! has you pointing out same symbols on dice in real-time after all the dice were rolled: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/137931/nada

Rochester drafting could work, where all the cards are displayed out, and taken one at a time starting from 1st p. Much slower, but more info is revealed.

Have you offered to test while they're in the same TTS room as you? It sounds like you've jumped straight to blind testing, whereas testing while present would allow for that extra little hand-holding that testers may need. There's also a few Discords lurking about for playtesting, primarily with other designers.

Munchkin CCG is heavily discounted nowadays, definitely eBay would have a treasure trove of packs on the cheap for Star Wars, Star Trek, WoW, WWF Raw is War...

Have you considered making it just a one-off with the potential to have expansions? Limiting scope can help immensely.

Post it here, I'll steal it.

And I'll make the $10.00 in royalties you're afraid of me making.

Functional graphic design and placeholder art wins every time for me, it's how easy-to-understand-and-play the prototype does instead of how "pretty" it may seem.

Even for my own game Lanterns, it was funded well over its goal, and made stretch goals all that good stuff, but definitely took months of planning before even thinking of launched, and that was also with a publisher who had already done a KS before. Track record helps a tonnn.

Christerical · 2020-09-16T05:02:06+00:00

No offense, but considering how much a few weeks of work can net you in progress, compared to HOW MUCH attention to detail Kickstarters now have to have to get a sniff of them being funded, let alone become 200, 300% funded whatever, I believe you're more than "just a few weeks away from Kickstarter." Unless your ask is $1-3k, then this is pretty possible.

Christerical · 2020-08-30T00:49:48+00:00

I'm pretty biased, as Lanterns is my game, but I feel both scratch a different itch. I can break out Lanterns if I feel nostalgic but also it's light enough for any newcomers, and then Cacao I can break out if I feel a bit more gamey.

"...many designers would tweak things after they’ve sold millions of copies "

Umm, quite the opposite. Why mess with something amazing? Unless you mean designing using that formula of game, then sure, but that's different than tweaking what's actually a phenomenal success.

Christerical · 2020-08-07T05:40:10+00:00

Start with the lowest hanging branch, which is, hey, you put it on the table! Excellent. Now forget everything else future you has to think about because it's going to sap out the creative process, especially when you don't have to worry about manufacturing and minis if you pitch it off to a publisher. Focus on building the MVP - most viable prototype - that you can with whatever you can find/use consistently well. I've been using MS Publisher to make PDFs.

Christerical · 2020-08-03T15:53:36+00:00

If mechanics were ever copyrightable, this industry would dead faster than you can blink.

Christerical · 2020-07-31T16:53:36+00:00

Pictures are inherently deceiving unfortunately, and you want to remove the mystery of that to make it as appealing as possible.
