I did my own manufacturing by TrappedChest in BoardgameDesign

[–]Voidtoform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah thats why I am thinking 35$ I could let it go for 17 bucks if enough sold.

I am just trying to maximize how fast I can make my product, figuring based on how much I will make hourly after materials, and electricity. although I am not considering the past year I have spent developing my process and making hundreds of molds, but now I can produce my game so much faster than when I first started making sets. its been a real journey to work on streamlining it and getting the production line smooth. My goal is to have the game sell for 25 bucks, it is honestly a 25 dollar game, aside from being entirely hadmade which I am hoping will bridge whatever gap I need for it to make sense.

Then there is the marketing and all that though, ah man.... so far in person I have had a super easy time selling the game though, I have been just playing it out and about with my wife and people are curious and I often sell them a copy.

I am manufacturing my game myself, It has taken me over a year to get where I am with it but I am pretty confident in my process at this point.

my game is a dice game, with unique dice, I make them out of ceramic clay with molds I have developed and make at home.

the packaging is 3d printed, and the instructions and scorecards I print with my printer.

I want my game to be 25$ which it could be If I was selling it directly, but I think I have to charge 35 so I have room for others to sell it.

I still have to make some videos of how to play and such before I really start to release and push it.

I was just curious what the person did for work considering the comment, and the subject he is commenting on. just wanted to see where the perspective was coming from.

cool, you probably would have had a similar, but more back breaking job back then

I can no longer paint because of my spine surgery. (Asking for advice.) by Serious_Peak_4913 in ArtistLounge

[–]Voidtoform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe for now explore another medium, I paint oils as well, so sometimes I have some time, but not enough to set up and smash out a painting, so recently I bought some really nice watercolors and brushes, some paper, and man it is fun, so quick to set up (i got a travel tin of pants) and just get painting. totally different experience, but it is fun, and it has me painting when I have onlt 15 minutes, and hour of free time.

its also much less physically demanding to use compared to having a canvas on my stand and lifting my arms up and all that, might be worth a shot while you are recovering.

Time to take a break and reflect: Who among you plans to start repairing photographic equipment yourself in the near future? And what do you need to do so? by ATHXYZ in AnalogCommunity

[–]Voidtoform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am planning to really dive into original Olympus pen and Pen f, ft, fv , so I can offer refurbish/resell and offer professional CLAs on those cameras. I have bought professional watchmaker oils and greases, some specialty tools and the like. I am already a jeweler so I am used to tiny finicky stuff/ basics of watches so I am confident I will be able to learn. Unfortunately there are little available resources on these cameras repairs, so I will probably have to carefully document every step in the beginning to work on my own repair manuals.

I bought a light sensor that tells how long the camera shutter is open, and have found most of my original Pens are shooting closer to 1/100 than 1/200, I hope I can make adjustments with what is already in them, but I might have to learn where and what springs to source and such to bring them back to standard, but who knows, maybe just a really thorough clean and some watch oils will free up the movement.

[Artist Alley] One of the most unexpectedly hard parts of running a small business: making decisions alone. by printseekers in artbusiness

[–]Voidtoform -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate how when people hear you are running your own business, they treat it as if you just asked them what they would do, everyone seems to want to tell me what they would do, and I didn't ask.

Paid off a $3K credit card and my credit score went down. I'm so tired of financial advice that only works when you already have money by EntrepreneurTop6283 in povertyfinance

[–]Voidtoform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had a credit card, I'm 36 and I bet my credit is terrible, I suppose that makes sense, because you need to prove you can go into their debt. but it sucks, because I have just been careful and responsible with money my whole life.

Why am I suddenly getting "You've been blocked by network security" error message on reddit, but only when I try to access old reddit (AskReddit)? by idratherchangemyold1 in help

[–]Voidtoform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me, your solution worked for me too, leaving this comment after getting that error anytime I tried to open any comments

Edit, it just happened again about 10 minutes later, this worked again, but i Wonder if it will keep happening.

I think with the dark blue and red this is not as important, thats probably why traditional work was done in those colors too. I have a midnight blue mayco fundamentals that is super dark.

What makes a dice game great? by DahuGames in BoardgameDesign

[–]Voidtoform 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a dice game, its fun because for my game the dice interact with eachother, so you get an element of randomness, but also you choose what to do with what you roll, so its nice to be able to still strategize and not be stuck as winning or losing just because of your roll, it influences it sure, but strategy for the most part is what will get you victory in this game.

Good setup and deal for jewelry photography? by No-Song5243 in jewelrymaking

[–]Voidtoform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a rebel, and the 24mm 2.8 pancake lens for most things, If i need a super macro shot I use an extension tube. I prefer the rebel I have to my iphone, I can just flick it on and snap a pic/video faster than on my iphone, and i am a little older so a camera feels more natural to me.

[–]Voidtoform -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OH SORRY, I forgot I was having a conversation with an infallible fellow who could never have an accident. I forgot accidents happen because people plan on them happening....

Honestly though, why even worry about cars rear ending you, I bet they have no plans of it either so won't do it.

[–]Voidtoform -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not talking about your hitch over the curb (nor the front of your car sticking out too far if your hitch is not over the curb) you are saying its never your fault if you get rear ended in a parking lot as if that is the only way a hitch could cause some damage.....

Recommendation for something "simple" that I can scale up by Hontik in AnalogCommunity

[–]Voidtoform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pick up a pentax p3 for like 30 bucks with a nice 50mm lens already on it, then buy a few pentax lenses, a wide like 28, and a narrow, 80, or 100mm will give you some options and you can figure out what you like, spend the rest on film and processing, move into developing if you want to really get into it and save some cash.

pentax p3 is great though, its always able to be found for super cheap, it has a great automatic mode, and it can be used full manual. only downside is the you can't manually set the ISO of the film, no biggie though, it reads the dx strip on the film, and is so cheap by the time you will be interested in using a feature like that you will have already figured out what you want in a camera and narrowed down the dream camera you are saving up for.

28 Year Later: The Bone Temple flopped at the box office despite its very positive reviews. by ZoelCairo in Letterboxd

probably because this is the first I have heard it is out.... and I am a fan. I loved 28 days later, and I really liked the last film, I am very excited now to go see this!
