Arthane: battle simulation

This little Giffle Reel shows a simulated battle between two knights for my game Arthane. The idea would be to have a simultaneous action selection and/or action queue mechanics to determine the knights' movements:
- left foot forward
- right foot forward
- sidestep left (but only if leaning right with weight on right foot)
- sidestep right (but only if leaning left with weight on left foot)
- swing weapon towards front of body
- swing weapon back towards side of body
- swing shield to front or to side, etc.

My first-ever (created) board game: The Last Tower

Hi everyone,

I just released the first board - or any sort of - game I ever created: The Last Tower, ver. 1.0. I stopped development on it after a few weeks because I see no way to get around the element of luck (roll of one die) driving the game outcome; it was a first attempt at game design. I made it available under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license and am wondering how (a)typical that is in the game design world.

Cheers,

SK

Dymino Monsters: Constellations update:

I took some time to finally come up with a new constellation design today. I mulled over the idea for this design and how it will fit the story.

I will soon start redrawing the new Constellation Wood Disk.

Tumblemine: bigger board with two players

See attached GIF (hopefully the animation works). This is another try with this idea of miners digging through dirt (green discs), collecting gold (yellow discs), letting rocks (grey) fall into the water (blue) which then splashes up. This time there are 2 miners trying to get the gold and trying to outsmart each other, but at this stage the game is not developed enough for anything interesting to happen. But just like a gold miner, I feel that if I keep digging then I'm sure to hit gold!

tumble mine: an idea

This is just an idea but I think it has potential to become a little game. There's a pool of oil at the bottom of the board (the navy blue cubes) and a stack of rocks above (white cubes) and some soil holding the rocks in place (green cubes). A miner (red meeple) can dig through the soil and cause the rocks to fall into the oil. The rocks sink to the bottom which pushes the oil up. See image.

My first adventure board game, what I have so far

Thu, 07/21/2022 - 14:56 — Craeneium

Here's what I've created so far, and my ideas for moving forward. So this might be a little long, you have been warned.

My first adventure board game, is this a new idea?

Wed, 07/20/2022 - 19:55 — Craeneium

Hello again,
So my game has 5 heroes to choose, Archer, Mage, Fighter, Healer, and Tank. I'm going for a MMO feel to the fights. Each hero has 4 abilities that affect their threat level. Anyone goes over the Tanks threat will be the target of attacks. I also believe with 4-5 players, they will be able to run 2 parties and attempt a RAID Dungeon.
I'll start detailing more of how my game works and functions tomorrow. I used to play W o W, and my boardgame collection has hit the point of needing to sell some to make room for more. My question is has anyone already tried this idea?

Hello everyone,
I've been working on this game for a while. Start with a group of 4-5 heroes, defend the city, fight your way to the dungeon. After beating the third dungeon, you win the game. Though the starting characters are pretty standard, the dynamic of the group is something different.

I mostly just wanted to say hello to everyone here. I'll talk more about my game in the days to come.
