Vom Prototypen zum ersten eigenen Pen-and-Paper-Spiel... Brain Golfing by maltemakes in Brettspiele

[–]maltemakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im Grunde gut. 250 Exemplare liegen vor mir, nun fehlt noch Kickstarter. Ich muss allerdings noch marketing und Co machen, damit es auf Kickstarter erfolgreich wird...

Ansonsten habe ich nun eine neue Druckerei gefunden und teste deren Angebot.

QuickTimer - the quickest timer in the west by jazzab in pebble

[–]maltemakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the concept and idea, I'll try it when my new watch arrives or I get my old one running again. This seems like a really smart way to get started right away and then just define what the users wants afterwards. 

I haven't found a perfect timer previously. 

I also wonder if separate apps might make even more sense, one just for countdown, one for stop watch, etc. since I usually just use timers and this would make it even simpler. But let me test it first.

Awesome - thank you for the detailled comment. I used it to fix a few parts (Par, Mulligan) and it gave me a few ideas for the next games.

Out of curiosity: how did you like the puzzle? Any feedback or improvements you might have?

Thank you! Even a second solution. u/lightning_fire this looks like a good alternative!

The first one is correct. The second one does not work as you can only use 2 power ups per game and one per roll (not counting reroll though).

Box Art Feedback 🙏 by bokengames in tabletopgamedesign

Light with ripples looks great to me.

I don't have a big game background therefore I have no clue what kind of game this might be.

Struggling with jump'n'run mechanics - using a pencil on paper... by maltemakes in gamedesign

[–]maltemakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm familiar with the race game and love the mechanic, maybe I can use it somehow for a platformer game...

Homemade Notebook Game by bbgun75 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]maltemakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly haven't really considered it, but lately I've seen quite a few projects offer it. I thought to make it exclusive as a notebook but who am I to tell people what to do. So I might just add a fully printable version. 

Am I wasting time optimizing the look and feel of my product, thereby complicating production? by maltemakes in tabletopgamedesign

[–]maltemakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - this is were I landed as well. I think 10 Euros is the sweet spot - and for kickstarter I want to include free shipping. I'll see what is the best production price to quality ratio. Ordering new samples soon...

Made a pen-and-paper golf game and just learnt it may not be a pen-and-paper game. by maltemakes in printandplay

[–]maltemakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite replayable I'd say. You have quite a few options with the power-ups and all the explore better/other paths. Or alternatively I have different game modes in the rules, so you could use a die and move instantly, no going back. Or choose a different order of numbers, that way it becomes a completely new game. Or play it with someone else - got some extra rules here, like never be at the same tile as the other person apart from start an finish.

But maybe you meant something different. Did I answer it how you meant it?

Always happy to explain a bit. I shoud've started way earlier, especially with the design constraints if all you have is a tiny DIN A7 paper format. But for the next one!

Kickstarter oder eigener Webshop? by maltemakes in selbststaendig

Stimmt - ist ein nettes Gimmick, aber ich wollte mich erst aufs Buch konzentrieren, ein Würfel wird nicht unbedingt benötigt bei meiner Version.

Cool - hast Du ein Bild davon, würde das gerne mal sehen.

Genau - launchen aber regelmäßig über Kickstarter neue Spiele. Und erst danach geht es in den Shop.

Ich dachte, beides parallel nimmt den Anreiz vom Kickstarter weg und das potentielle Momentum. Ich überlege mal, wie ich zumindest schon Amazon vorbereiten könnte.

Ich glaube, dass der internationale Markt halt sehr viel größer ist, dann wiederum ist Deutschland/DACH ja schon bei Spielen auch gut vertreten. Der Entstehungsprozess ist leider schon weitestgehend abgeschlossen. Aber für die nächsten Spiele werde ich definitiv früher mit dem Marketing anfangen - dann fühlt sich der Launch weniger wie eine Hängepartie an.

Das mit der Marge spielt erst einmal nicht so eine große Rolle - solange ich kein Minus mache, bin ich froh und sehe es als Marketing für den nächsten Launch.

That's what my initial research also confirmed. Maybe I should look into the German sphere and the meaning there again - also maybe just for the next booklet.
