Very early findings

Wed, 06/25/2014 - 10:37 — FWyver

After a pretty short but intensive testing session last night I have some early pointers as to what works and what doesn't. Results are:

Shooting is as dominant as I expected.

Movement and positioning are vital, and decisions between moving and shooting can be very difficult in the case of support weapons, however, a good shooting unit that's found some solid cover can be a serious problem for it's opponent.

Puerto Diablo, getting ready for kickstart in september

Tue, 06/24/2014 - 16:18 — bike

Hello there,

Yes... another pirate game, but there is much more. The game plays in 1663 and focuses on trade, war, science, religion etc.

The game is ready, we now need to focus on the financial side: kickstarter.

Please take a look at our site (bonus, a photo of me as pirate) and comment. Could be game specific, but also if there are things that we should add to the site.

At the moment our facebook page is only in dutch. You can like us nevertheless ;-)

Site: www.puertodaiblo.nl
FB: www.facebook.com/puertodiablo

The game will be available in English!

ADLi and FanExpo 2014

Tue, 06/24/2014 - 16:14 — ckleach

What has ADLi been up to this month of June? Well, let's see. Fan Expo Canada is coming up in August and there is still a lot to be done with regards to play testing and planning. Planning, penciling, prototyping. Memorizing, multiplying, modifying. Sketching, scrutinizing, scrapping. Talking, testing, tracking... and more tracking, and more tracking. It takes more time than one thinks and game design isn't the only thing I do creatively. It's a hobby, yes, but it's a labour of love that I would like to see reach market potential. I'm not ready to go full steam on game design ... yet.

An overview of 2014 for me and game design

Tue, 06/24/2014 - 16:02 — ckleach

I really need to get on this. Been so busy updating Facebook and apparently NOTHING else, I should provide an überview of everything since the end of 2013. Here goes...

January 2014:
New Year greetings and the like. Some ambitious goals for ideas lightly strewn throughout. All was quiet.

February 2014:

Ruinstorm // hive wars - A table-top card driven miniatures skirmish game

Tue, 06/24/2014 - 11:30 — FWyver

I've been toying with game design for a while as an amateur. My interests are primarily abstract strategy and war-games. I know that probably puts me at the unfashionable end of the board game spectrum, but that's what I like.

How Turbulence Came To Be

Mon, 06/23/2014 - 14:59 — The Game Crafter

You probably know by now that Turbulence is part of The Captain Is Dead kickstarter. We asked Turbulence’s designer Andrew Enslow to tell us a little about himself and why he designed it. Here’s what he had to say:

I am an undergraduate mechanical engineer in California. I grew up on Star Wars Epic Duels, Risk and monopoly. It wasn’t until 2012 that I began expanding to all sorts of board games with my friends. From there it was a short leap to making a few of my own, which they all graciously helped me play test.

Must tabletop wargames only be just as the
grognards want them to be?
