  1. “Upcycle” is a game that challenges players to upcycle their real-world wardrobe to help their in-game avatar fight fast fashion-themed foes — and it’s been accepted for a playful demo at “Play, Make, Learn”! If you are heading to this conference, look for us!

  2. For anyone interested, the pre-alpha of digital #Crowns is now playable! With both multiplayer matchmaking and playing vs CPU. Much easier to try and learn the mechanics that way!

    Note: It's experiencing several updates a day (and bugs) while we're adding new functions and features, so sometimes it might not work for a few minutes or an hour or so.

  3. I spent way too much time rewriting and updating the rules for my #cardgame #crowns. Maybe I didn't need to rewrite them entirely since it seems most people understood them anyway, but I added two optional rules in preparation for the custom cards version I'm working on and made a minor change to the King.

    I haven't updated the rules on the wordpress page but they are updated on itch!

  4. Design Journal No. 2 on Color Space, coming at you hot. I'm so excited about this game that the journal entries will flow like wine. You know, if wine flowed like water. #boardgamedesign #boardgames #boardgame #indiegamedesign

    • Functions (instead of skills) worked as intended
    • Kamlama (some sort of a ritual) worked as intended
    • Story started to build up 👍🏻

  6. Just remembered today, how easy it is to design a game. Or to name it better: how few things you need. A stick, a ball, a stone... any random item game be part of a game. Or not even that. Just words can be a game. Or the most simple rule, like: be the quickest. Throw the furthest. Be the strongest or the wisest.
