With Jurassic Park Rebirth coming out soon, I figured this was a good time to share another Merch item you can collect in CON Quest, this one being a throwback homage to the OG 1993 Jurassic Park. Recognize it?

It's been a hot minute, but progress continues! This is an awesome draft/proof of the player boards from my graphic designer, @pushespixels.bsky.social ! (Ignore the majority of the text as most of it is simply placeholder). A few spots still to fill in, but I really love the first go!

Can you name the pop culture reference in this piece of Merch art for CON Quest? Thanks to one of my artists, Morgan for this! (www.instagram.com/morganksawyer/) #gamedesign #boardgaming #boardgames

Had a great time last weekend at @unpub.bsky.social! Went to some great panels, met some great folks, and played the hell out of CON Quest! Most playthroughs went very well (like with this group here) and I got some great feedback! Time to make the game even better!

Love it when one of your favorite songs comes on that your music library hasn't played for you in a LONG time and you get goosebumps as it builds to that LOUD climax and you want to absolutely rock the F out and then remember you're in a coffee shop with headphones and that isn't socially acceptable

When it came to making prototype cards for CON Quest, I'm not sure what I would've done without Dextrous (www.dextrous.com.au).
I'm no graphic designer, but Dextrous let me whip up layouts for cards in no time, connect a Google Sheet and boom! I instantly had a hundred cards ready to print!

Love my new @bambulabglobal.bsky.social P1S 3D printer. Super easy and fun to create tokens, trays, and other pieces for CON Quest. Makes my prototype feel that much more real and ALMOST professional. #boardgames #gamedesign #3dprinting

A couple highlights from the first two nights in Yellowknife. I cannot convey what it was like (both the temperature and the most vivid aurora Ive seen with my eyes yet!

Taking a break for a few days to shoot the Northern Lights in Yellowknife, NT in Canada. Here are a couple of crappy iPhone pics from night 1 since I haven’t processed the GOOD photos from my Sony yet. #aurora

Got an outline sketch from my box art guy! Love the direction it's headed. Really helps convey the energy and playful sensory overload that occurs at a pop culture con (and yes, any overly familiar looking cosplayers will be different in the final art!). #boardgames #gamedev

Had another great and successful playtest at a @breakmygame.com event yesterday! CON Quest is coming along nicely. Still needs some polish (and lots of art!) but everyone genuinely seemed to enjoy it and two players even dared to call it (and I quote) "fun!"

Saw Captain America last night. I just wasn’t feeling it but part of that may have been caused by the screwed up Atmos mix at Look Cinema. Surround sound speakers were off and entire music mix was in the front right speaker 🤬😆 thought an angry nerd would complain but realized I was the angry nerd 🤣
