I work as a Lead Game Designer in Malta, and keep a myriad of unfinished somehow-still-alive side projects.
Right now I'm focused on Stellar Settlers, a dice rolling strategy game we just produced!

🙌 I'm Enrique, Spanish living in Malta.
I've been a videogame designer for 1.5 decades.
I battle Unreal Engine during the day, and at night I try to finish my first boardgame project with my wife: Stellar Settlers.
It's a sci-fi themed dice rolling game of strategy and luck.
Nice to meet you!

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

Priming done. I tried some cenital lighting with grey but the can was finishing and it produced some visible spots... Hopefully I can fix those in painting.
I also dropped the mini just after the picture, but luckily nothing broke 😅

Here's the beast after gluing it with epoxy. I'm still unsure some bits will hold up... Maybe the green stuff helps reinforcing a bit.
Looking forward to paint it, though it's a bit of boring one, all black. Oh well...

Feeling like I went back in time... A friend of mine gave me this box that was sitting in his house for... I guess 20 years now?
It's a pretty huge model too... Let's see how I manage to finish it.

No one makes zine games to get rich. But I want to bring joy to as many people as possible. So I've worked to get Friendly Local Game Stores and Local Book Shops to carry our games.
Here's what I've learned so far:
1. 📚 DESIGN FOR RETAIL
This is my FLGS's zine section. What do you see?

Some time ago I saw an artist say that folks often put a lot of effort into their work, and then post about it once. Which is such a shame!
Not everyone is awake at the same time, not everyone is online every day, and you put a lot of effort into it!
So go post your work again! Repost it again!

I think these planters are ready. Adding more vegetation and a better paintjob really brought them together. I'm quite happy with them after all.

So I used some packaging peanuts I got around to create giant plant-like shapes for a planter kind of thing. But the acrylic paint corroded them or something and they reduced in size considerably. Now they are tiny bushes... I wasn't expecting that!
