Having not seen a single playable or screenshot or whatever, I can definitely say the idea does grab me. There was another game called Cart Life that won a bunch of awards that I think plays on the same idea but in a more subtle way - you play a guy…
-
A quick but significant update: A while ago I entered Cartel into the annual Korean Board Game Design Contest, and I just heard that it has made it into the shortlist of finalists out of 124 submissions world wide! :D Link to the thread on Boardga…

To be honest, I do run with the Console open, and I do usually see errors... Sometimes I let them be because I know I'm making mistaken calls in for/do loops or whatever... But I never knew functions exited if it encountered any errors... I thought …
-
Thanks for that! Sometimes I'm not sure if that's the case, I shut down Unity and Mono to see... I wonder WHY the heck it happens because yes I know it happens... Anyhoo... This isn't that :/ OK!!! I solved it, erm one of the lines were fucking up…

Hi guys... There is a thing that I don't understand that seems to be... a thing. I have, for example, this code that I call in Update() if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)) { beetExit.transform.position = new Vector3 (beetExit.transform.position.x + …
-
This is suuuuper pretty :) I like! though I wondered why you didn't zoom in any further than you have? Even if the details aren't so high I'd have liked to see it go in :) Are you planning to game it?
-
SHOW! TELL! DISCUSS! There are no rules, only, well, responses :P At worst, noone responds cos there's nothing to respond to, at best, you get some response :) At best best best, you get people interested and they'll join you (but that's rare :P) T…

@silvaring just saying "I think you're not correct" doesn't really help anything, WHY are they not correct? What makes your viewpoint more correct than theirs? You haven't really added anything to help make your point. I personally think the time I…
-
Why does this question even matter? Are you going to try and make one of these? Are you looking to be some kind of videogame cop, whose job it is to save the world from vile... games?
-
Yeah, in the greater scheme of things, who really really REALLY cares if a game is 1/10 or 20/10 or 1/1000? It really makes no difference to me. At all, either as developer or player.

Update Aug 13, post meetup playtesting 2 - 4 players Play time 10 min Many many d6 dice. I have about 30. A game of chance management and dice citybuilding. Streamlined the mechanic a fair bit, with both sides being governed by the same mechanic: …
-
Wait, Burgerkitten? Is that the Moose... Thing that we saw last night? That was AAAAAMAAAZING :D
-
Thanks for some cool playtesting at the meetup last night, it was quite illuminating :) Playtesting revealed: 1. It's a really difficult concept to convey in a few words. The claiming cards to fit your sequence, the writing/drawing/creating your…
-
Rad meetup everyone! Really fantastic stuff, thanks @hermantulleken for the methods of random that I *know* I should know but never really was able to put into words. Or code :P Thanks @elyaradine for the really good tips for anyone really - not ju…

Ok guys, here's version 0.3 of Bizcardia: The Tactical Deck-building Business Card Game :) I'll print up a few prototypes on paper and bring them along tomorrow, let's see if it's fun/works/is broken :P Because it's squished into a tight space I'm…
-
Can I ask everyone to bring their business card tomorrow to try this game out? I'll bring a bunch too but I wanna see what the local "meta" is like ;) Thanks guys :D
-
Hey just ralised - I have a couch for someone not dodgy throughout amaze :) As for transport, I should be spending the max amount of time at amaze so lifting is an option, though I'm also on the gautrain bus route. Though - I'm in Rivonia so not rea…
-
Hmmmmmmm you're right. Relying on people to know which cards are theirs is too much. How about putting cards in a "zip fashion" so that you know immediately which are yours and your opponent's?
-
There are tons of design contests going on on Boardgamegeek at any one time, if you're interested you definitely should be browsing there, ask for more info and I can assist :) Right now the stuff they have going on there, off the top of my head: …
-
Yeah, I think you knew exactly what I would say to that :P I wanted something without a barrier to entry :) If I were to go digital I'd have to compete with Augmented Reality 3D thingamajobs, which... Meh :P Gonna implement some variations to the r…
-
Haha! Welcome to business card game jam! :) 1. I understood the rules easily enough. 2. Sounds good, has all bases covered :) I personally don't have any love for miniature wargaming (the distance AND dice rolling thing both don't appeal to me) but…
-
Yes you're taking turns, alternating. Part of the metagame is trying to read what the opponent's scoring, and maybe try to use their combo to your advantage... But yes I see what you mean. I wanted to put in rules that change the game, for example,…
-
Yeah, a business card game is not the novelty of the idea - like I mentioned, Contactics already exists out there, and right now there's a game design contest on BGG that has a single card category, and there's been a handful of cool looking entries…
-
Oh no, that probably wasn't communicated properly on my side - the deck of cards you're using are OTHER people's cards, you only need one of MY card to play with another person (the other player must also have one of mine, to mark their combo). I'l…
-
I think it was the year before, then. It was a fun premise and everyone got stickers, and we secretly took pictures of each other (well, I was shooting with my iPad so it wasn't *that* secret lol) and emailed them in, and it was fun for a while, but…

TheFuntastic;25545" said:There is also this from a while back that @dislekcia point out to me, by Jane McGonigal and Ian Bogost. Game played with cell phones: http://www.cruelgame.com/ What I like about this is that your participation is ended if …

A long time ago I tried to make pretty much the exact thing Killer is, writing a blog called spygamebook.posterous.com... I was busy exploring killing with water pistols and backstabs by sticking things on someone's back, and making a hackable compu…

OH MAN.

The last SFA sounded awesome and I then saw nothing about what was in it, this SFA sounded awesome and then I saw nothing of what was in it... I would love to see photos, writeups, list of stuff that was there (games, people, whatever)... Anything!!…
-
Where is this PatCatPat??? I'm generally disturbed by how little we know of what happened at SFA :/ Where's the coverage?
-
The dice that are "produced" from the city come from the bank of dice, I don't know how many yet, but it's assumed to be infinite... For now. I have 82 dice at home :P And yes you add them to your money grid - but there's a choice when you add mone…
-
Annnd here's the full written out rules, in case the minimised playmat doesn't make complete sense: Goal: The goal of the game is to build the most extravagant city of dice, worth 15 points. Your city is built by dice. Dice in the city grid are w…

Represent! :)

Ohhh emmmm geeeee :D Squeeeee :D Never heard of this before, but daaaayum, it's awesome!!! Love it!! Will have to pick it up sometime :) Here's a video for those who hasn't seen it:
-
Oh crud, has the competition already ended? Did anyone enter? I have a game idea knocking around in my head, I'd like to enter it, didn't realise the deadline was like yesterday (the day before in fact). Could we get an extension? Nevermind, I got…
-
Do we have any clarity on the below? Tuism said:Does that mean here we are actually entering into the competition on facebook? Looks like it. How then, do the two comps work? It looks like two comps sharing the same prizes - that means a game design…
-
Well done!!! :D
-
If you had the time to write that up you have the time to put it up there with pretty much exactly what you had here and hope for some feedback from a captive audience who likes this kind of stuff :) Literally can't be more than ten minutes from re…
-
Had a quick read through the rules, if I have time I'll try and give it a play :) First thoughts: The objective isn't really clear. This is the thing that you should always start with, to frame readers' minds against something, to give an immedia…
-
I've got a few thoughts about making Print and Play that I've been meaning to blog up, will share that... when it's done :P I've learned lots during my time making Cartel PnP, whatever happens it'll have been worth the learning :)
-
Aw thanks Megs :) Hey where ARE your prototypes, show show show! :) I did the pencil writing thing for the design I tried before this one. My hand hurt from gripping the damn pencil. So I swore off that and went with the print + cut + sleeve route.…
-
What, no. Art is LAST. The only time art comes first is if you're A) Making REALLY SIMPLE ART or B) you're making something so simple that you need art to attract people C) You're already known for doing art first and making simple games. I've not …
-
oh ok cool :D Yeah I'm pretty interested after seeing that video :) Congrats in making contact with them too! :)
-
Hey guys!! Just saw this boardgame called Quarantine, it has similarities with M&M, but there are some really advanced ideas - I like it :D
-
Cool story :) It's an IP that grew from full clone status to standing on its own two feet, which is great if all clones did that. Cloning for me has always brought with it MARKETING. Exposure for everyone. Now I'm not saying that's a justification o…
