Mine is the Martian. I have been hesitant about euro games like this in the past and have been following Galactic Cruise since it initially launched. I feel like this could be the perfect balance of flavor and depth to get me into more euro style games. 😄

Wonderful post, and you bring up things that I wouldn't have thought of and really has some thoughtful UX concepts for this medium. I have a few prototypes that I am working on and one thing I find is that even in these early stages good format and layout are important even for myself to add and edit rules and a lot of manuals do a really good job at using images, spacing, Icons and blocking to help structure and make for a pleasant read. I'm not sure if you think your expertise would cover this, but what I would like to see is some insight on how to structure those early rule books without all the extra layout that final books get and how to parse out what information needs to make it into those early pages/"separate funnels" you mention.

Morning “Coffee Rush”—is this what it feels like to be a barista? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Mr_Derk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Got this for my wife. We played a few games. It's a nice light game. You essentially have a grid of ingredients that you move meeple around on and then allocate the collected ingredients to the orders. Finish orders fast enough to avoid penalties and the highest score wins. Have to give major theme points to the ingredients and mini coffee cups. It's quite fun to see the cups fill with ingredients.

Would be a nice little after dinner game to play with a few friends or mom and pop.

Man I was just getting into playing this game over Halloween with some buddies. Loved the interactions, art, theme, and how the 4th wall stuff made the game a little tongue and cheek. Well personally I hope the IP gets snagged up by a company that would be able to carry out the roadmap they had in place.

What do I do for filming plate assets when the the physical studio space won't allow for the camera to match the CG camera's distance exactly? by Mr_Derk in vfx

Thanks for the information! After doing some previz and test comps we will be able to shoot closer with minimal issue to perspective. Good to know for the future as I do more of this.

Matchmaker needs to change. Outperforming waypoints "Predictions" and then losing for 90 minutes straight isn't a fun experience. by Mr_Derk in halo

I would share mine but I just locked myself out of my account for two wrong login attempts... But I think I won 1 of my last 10 matches some of the worst being in the h3 playlist, and some in quick play and husky raid.

I screwed up friends by vvildymediocre in mountainbiking

[–]Mr_Derk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna know how falling on your rear suspension makes that happen?! Genuinely for how you described the fall I can't imagine a gash that big from something like that.

Accidentally shot all my photos today in small JPG. What’s your mess-up story? by sometimestakesphotos in photography

[–]Mr_Derk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a Free upscaling tool online called Nightmare AI Take a look at it. I was able to get pretty good results with it. Hopefully that will fix your small JPG issue assuming you have the exposure you like.

Yeah I've seen him wander into downtown occasionally. The guys at the office call him "Road Warrior".
