Time to doing it right

Restart

I am going to do a board game. I have an idea and a vision, let's go down to work.
Two month later I was stuck in the mud to the neck. Then I got some really good comments at my blog. I followed them and now it is time to do it the right way. It is fun to create things, systems is fun to do and design is just one more turn addicted to work with but.... But with out a plan, a structure and hard work there will be no board game.

Time to give up the game?

Give the game a nice funeral?

I have been working at my game for 8 weeks and many things have been better but it is still to slow. Doubts have been bitch slapping me so many times that I have no feeling left in my left cheek.

Is it time to give the game up? Just bury it and move on?

Stubbornness have been biting my ass so many times so... I think you understand. I still think it can bee a good game, so I think I will bee slapped and bitten some more before giving up.

But still there question is still nagging in there. Is it time to give it up?

Bunch of monkeys rules

Rules during work

Well it feels like the monkeys is messing around with my rules right now.

When I was young, the rules of a board game was printed on the inside of the box cover. The font was sometimes so small that you needed a magnifying glass to read it. There was no pictures or in game examples, just a lot of rules.

Internet wasn't around, so if there was something impossible to understand, you made up your own rules. By the time those rules was as many as the original rules. Many of the original rules was replaced or totally altered.

Mineraft the board game

Gold, board gaming materials and tools

Since I laid my hands on the Swedish game Drakborgen, or in english - DungeonQuest, I wanted to make my own board game. Through the years there has been a lot of distraction thou, like Amiga 500, 1200, ABC 80, Victor, CalCon, Settlers Of Catan, and so on. One day I suddenly had wife, four kids, house, dog and a Volvo, How in earth did they enter the Drakborgen?

One day my oldest daughter played Mincraft on the computer. I looked at it and said - Wow! It looks worse than Civ 1 on the Amiga and I gave Minecraft no more thoughts.
