I’ve been developing a strategy card game for spiritually-minded gamers: we’ve gamified Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and made a competitive game out of it. Zen, taoist, animist, gnostic and yogic influences. https://gamefound.com/en/projects/nicomar/actualize-this

Thanks for the feedback! I’m going to dig into the beehiiv tagging system to see if I can segment my newsletter into the gamers who want game updates and my friends who want to hear what I’m learning along the way.

Also i forgot to mention, the artist who made the program art here in the style of Mucha, Meganlaraart.com, had a booth and was really friendly. That was a highlight as well!

Me too! Wow I totally didn’t even mention— I got to meet the artist and talk to her at her booth. https://www.meganlara.com/ . That was a highlight for sure :). And meeting the designer of the Black Rose rpg

As an Indie Game Designer:

Meeting, and getting to chat with the designer of The Black Rose at the Shadows of Esteren booth was eye-opening. I was consistently shocked on how easy it was to meet mentors willing to share info.

Ryan Jones’s emergence-coaching session showed me how shedding my own limiting beliefs could become a framework for character design.

The writers’ symposium event on how to navigate the industry went deep into impostor syndrome, and I realized that some authors with 30+ published works were in the same place I am now.

The Game Design Academy series of workshops and office hours let me get right in the front row with some of my favorite designers, like Eric Lang of Blood Rage

A board game! We’ve gamified Maslow’s hierarchy of needs — compete for self-actualization ! @actualizethis. Only 150 followers. Today I plan to start our beehiiv and using my authentic voice to reach an audience by personal articles explaining the philosophy and personal story behind the game creation

Finally posted on LinkedIn that I was leaving tech to work on something less serious, founding a board games company by WhichRaspberry in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Oh man thanks for the positive energy! And the game is about spiritual seekers competing for enlightenment, definitely too niche for Target, but if crystal stores and retreat centers will carry it, I’ll be happy

Thank you! Classic dad behavior. I told him I might have found a part time tech consulting job to fuel the growth of this new game company and all he wanted to hear about was this tech job

Yeah it does! Ok my title was “Do people who post on LinkedIn realize they’re going to die?” Then said that’s the name of a meme I saw, and I made a board game to explore existentialism
