It's been a while since my last developer journal. Mainly because I've been doing lots of things besides development. I've been playing lots of video games: Borderlands 2, Battletech, Master of Orion 2, and Blood Bowl 2. I've been doing lots of Blood Bowl and Twilight Imperium stuff including wr…

Again we had a 6-player game planned but our 6th player canceled a few days before Game Day. One of these days we'll get a 6-player game going, but today was not the day. We did random races for everyone but the newest player who we gave Federation of Sol. These were the races:

For this short holiday week, there wasn't really much to talk about on the Battletech front. I'm fixing minor/safe bugs and waiting on QA to run my Dynamic enum through the ringer. But on the personal project front, I do have an announcement. I started working on a computerized port of Car Wars …

It's Unity3d game. I use Blender, Gimp.

I love my puppets. Need to run to draw more.

This weekend I drove down to Pennsylvania for a pretty big Blood Bowl tournament. This is the biggest Blood Bowl event I've been to with 58 coaches ready to do battle on the pitch. My friend Kent told me about the tourney and it was a good opportunity to finally meet him in person. 

I ra…

It looks like my developer name was very similar to another software company, so I had to relaunch the game and change my developer name. Anyway, I changed the menu graphics, increased the gravity and increased the labyrinth rotation speed. Now the game can be downloaded here. I expect opinions, …

Changed the rev-share to 35%.

Well then I'll give you my two cents about how to get your project going.

1st - Forget about coding(For Now)

  One of the great things about designing a tabletop game on PC is that you can directly map a real tabletop experience. Get a bunch of pieces of paper, some dice to emulate rando…

Hey everyone!

My name is Freya, and I am currently developing a board game called 'Confined'. The game itself is set in a prison, where all players scavenge for items, do missions and interact with other inmates in a desperate attempt to escape... No one can trust one another as opportunitie…

 

Setup

Game 2 was supposed to be a 6-player game, choose whatever race you wanted, balanced map. That dropped to a 5-player game when one of the players couldn't make it. Then a 5th player bailed last minute and his phone didn't send the message. It's worth noting that he felt terrible …

I finally got a chance to play Twilight Imperium 4th edition so I figured I'd do a write up. We had 5 players and it was a blast. 

For race selection, we used this website about a week before the game http://www.mygurps.com/TwilightImperium.html and selected 3 choices per player. Here's what…

O sorry. Forgot to mention. It's on https://github.com/patsonluk/airline

"Tactical Homeostatic System", which is a system developed for the Conan boardgame. They are using it as a base for the Batman game.

Yes, that's why using D&D terms was a mistake. A trianglular prism doesn't. It also sounds like garbage, so... "fan"?

I wrote this nearly a year ago, but didn't get around to publishing it. Now that more info is coming out about the game, I think it's a fine time to share the epic struggle between Lazaraus and Talon.

Guy with decent Unity skills and a 3D printer here, if you need me to print some prototypes, hit me up. Also, if you I'd gladly write some code if there is some self-contained part of it that someone else can do.

Hello ProMiriel,

You're most welcome to join our project, although, since we are making a card game (real world and online) we are not in need of a sound designer/musician, but I'm sure there are plenty of other ways you could contribute (e.g. playtest, card design, editor, communications/pr…
