I like to jump from one creative project to the next, but I am currently working on finishing up a board game I've designed and hope to eventually turn into a digital game.

I have an abstract strategy #boardgame in the late stages of playtesting, available free on screentop.gg and tabletop sim -working on a standalone app.
Would love for you to check it out and/or come by and say hello on our discord server!

Slowly making progress on the digital implementation of my #boardgame Amalgam. #indiedev & #gamedev is a slow process - but I am having fun learning along the way.
My friend Paweł is starting to make some animations/art to hopefully start getting rid of the placeholders.

Anyone else really *want* to like #chess but is just far too impatient...among probably other things.... #boardgames

Another update on my #indiedev progress.
Without knowing the rules, it probably just looks like a bunch of gibberish, but I promise I am making progress :)

Remember, kids. Game design is
57% art
28% science
69% faffing about thinking about other things
11% scrolling social media
32% arguing
16% tears
48% math
Took 25 years, but I got these down EXACTLY

Been working on cleaning up code mostly to make everything work together a little more as expected. Still have a lot to do, but it's starting get some more progress. (basic movement/attack/ability logic is complete minus the Void amplification for each ability) #indiedev #boardgames #gamedev #Godot

This is actually pretty great! 🎲✂️
In many cases, there's no need for satire when you just make the game about the thing.
Check out Hollandspiele's Doubt is Our Product (tobacco misinformation) or GMT's Cross-Bronx Expressway (urban development).
That said, I did just make this: stickydoodler.itch.io/dacacah

🎲✂️ Has anyone ever thought about making a satirical board game about ongoing issues?
One of those where each character such as "John Smith" is obviously x, y, or z in real life...and the game just makes fun of a whole situation while also being quite spot on about the current situation of things?

I played my first game of Regicide with the wife today! It was a lot of fun :)
It's nice to be able to play with a standard deck of playing cards. We got to the Kings, and the first one was a Spade - we barely defeated it, then instantly lost against the next King.

Working on the digital implementation of #boardgame in #Godot. I have implemented all of the movement and standard attacks as shown in the video below - now I just have to implement the abilities! :)
PS: It's a competitive abstract strategy.

I have an issue that's been bothering me for a while, and I am ready to try and find a solution, but I'd like some feedback from all the 🎲✂️'s here:

Each player has different pieces that are differentiated through colors, and each player uses WHITE or BLACK pieces...

I am not sure if this looks too..."cartoon-y", or like I am promoting to young children?
I genuinely can't tell if I love or hate this haha.
I need honest feedback if I need to trash this concept/style or not...please help 😅!

I had a great time playtesting this the other day on BMG! It's nice seeing it pop up in my BluSky feed.
I haven’t talked about it in a while but Spindletop is very much still in development, Texagons and all. In the most recent iteration, the poker has taken a back seat to the economic Euro part of the game, although you can still win useful rewards from having the best hand each round. 🎲✂️

🎲✂️ Been looking at this for far too long, I need an extra set of eyes:
Old: Standard abilities on top half of page, and amplified on bottom half.
New: Standard abilities on left half, and amplified on the right.
Does the new one look better, or am I better off with the old one?
