I always love me a game designer interview!

Meiji Jingu was great when I visited. Biggest torii gate I saw during the whole trip was there. I saw you've got a couple other map points near it.

I find the original US printing of Scout is slightly too small. It takes too much Tetris to pack it back into the box. I would prefer it were an inch bigger in one dimension just to make it easier to clean up.

It never ceases to surprise me, all the niche skills a person needs to publish a game. Add video editing to that list and to my to-do list.

This video looks very impressive. It should be on the extensions page!

Great list, thanks! Do you have any ideas for tools that would be useful, but you couldn't find online?

What games do you recommend for a 2 year old? We've done My First Orchard with my son, but we need to add some variety.

Could you provide a picture of link to a very good sell sheet in your opinion?

I also gained so much appreciation for the tasks that go on in game publishing that I've never done before. Assembling documents for printing is a lot of work! Art is a lot of work! Game design is far and away my favorite part of the puzzle, and that part doesn't feel like work.

I know this is just a jam game, but it feels very momentous to me. I have been prototyping games for years now, but never with a proper deadline. It was a lot of work (I'm guessing nearly 40 hours) to put this all together in the last month. It's like a breath of fresh air being done.

For cards and similar I've been using Python and the pillow library to generate images directly. Whenever I make adjustments I just rerun a script and get fresh images. I haven't found a happy workflow for documents like rulebooks yet.

Oops! All Dice! is included in the jam bundle, but will cost $2 normally, so make sure to get the bundle while available!

I've convinced myself that it's fun to analyze games rather than enjoy them

3 of the same, or any 4. It's represented in Mariposas and Wingspan.
