Good day!
I know this isn't a dating site (Swoosh!) but would anybody be interested in doing a collaboration on a board game? This is something I want to try primarily to motivate myself to COMPLETELY finish a game (it would be nice to make it out of playtesting at least once during my lifetime) but also because I find myself constantly coming up with themes and then trying to design a game upon them, trying to get the right feel and so on; only some of the themes are a bit tricky (for example parasite-infected superhumans using their abilities by injection). It'd be a great help to have somebody tell me "This-and-that doesn't work, but this over here is fun."
I'll expand a bit:
I've tried making a complete game based on forum brainstorms sometimes in the past, and I won't be doing any of that soon... This'll be a close collaboration between two minds (preferrably one of them will be mine) and if this works out I'll be eager to try and work with a bigger team, but for now I want to keep it simple.
I won't say I'm looking for a specific person; about everybody here seems quite bright so I'm not worried.
I remind you that this is an experiment done for fun i.e I'm not looking for a publication or anything. My only goal is to lovingly create and finish a game design. Of course it's going out onto BGDF but I'm not worrying about "market competition".
I myself am not exactly an experienced designer but I know that it takes psychological and mathematical understanding to make a game.
I discourage you from expressing your explicit interest by posting in this thread as I don't want to pick the first reply or to seemingly be dissin people. If there is some sort of PM function at hand then send me a message and I'll respond to one of the first five replies or something like that.
Any other comments, critiques and suggestions as to how this can be done are all very welcome in this thread!
I look forward to it yo :D
Sorry for the massive text-block D: An edit is coming! Feel free to post your questions about what I look to do etc. if you've got them. :)
