Feeling things with only 12 days left until the Kickstarter so I dug up some pictures of the very first prototype that I brought to ProtoATL 2018
This thing is literally a retro game on launch 😭

I first met Nolan 7 years ago when I brought my marble puzzle fighting game to ProtoATL
Designing games take time. We iterate, we improve, and we make friends along the way.
They can copy the mechanics, but not it's soul.

My heart is full and I am completely exhausted after two weekends back to back of playtesting with amazing designers. ProtoATL and Unpub were both amazing, and so well run. 🎲✂️ 👍 #GameDesigners Now I need to update the prototypes again! #Boardgames #Cardgames #Design

Now the hard part. 🎲✂️ after ProtoATL and with @Unpub on Thursday. How much can I iterate?

3/10 But before the dinos and ProtoAtl, I found myself really enjoying flipping over cards and rapidly resolving things… I liked this in Welcome to the Dungeon. And I used a similar approach in my own game Side Quest Caverns. SQC did much better on TGC than any of my others. #boardgames #gamedesign

7/10 ProtoAtl ‘23. I shared DSS with tons of players. Lots of good feedback including from Gabe Barrett of the Board Game Design Lab. Excellent 300+ episode podcast. From this I decided there was something critical I needed to remove. Comment below if you guess what it is. #boardgames #gamedesign

The designer self published and did all of the art, absolutely incredible

Literally came up with a train game idea yesterday. Made it today. It’s coming to @ProtoATL in two weeks. Let’s see if it survives.

8/10 I thought I’d spend a bit more on ProtoAtl… I’ve been going since 2022 and I’ve always had an incredible time. Lots of excellent people, tons of networking, and many helpful sessions. Starting 3/21! Enjoy their pics of DSS from ‘23… Register: www.gameconhq.com/proto-atl #gamedesign #boardgames

Back from ProtoATL. By my count I ran or participated in roughly 24ish playtests. Great time and love hanging with friends I see once or twice a year.
Wish I had taken more pics, but here is one group doing their best to protect the city in my upcoming game “Alpha Team Mechanized Battle Force Go!”

I went to 2 local cons (TantrumCon and ProtoATL) and 4 larger cons (Unpub, GAMA Expo, Gen Con, and PAX Unplugged). My total con expenses were roughly $2800. I usually try to split hotels/travel with other designers to keep costs down. Also important to note that my Gen Con trip this year was free!

2/10 After my early games on TGC, I was ready for my big game! With maps, characters, and DINOSAURS! I was very excited to share it at ProtoAtl. I even had several pitch meetings and one followup. But soon after, I ignored the dinosaurs and started thinking about space ships… #boardgames #gamedesign

9/10 Soon after ProtoAtl I made the final changes to DSS. I uploaded it to the Game Crafter and got a passing grade on the Sanity Test. I was incredibly proud when the game received a 90+ on the Art Test. Made videos (2 player and the solo variant). At last it was on sale! #gamedesign #boardgames

6/10 Things were moving along… I’d tested DSS with index cards and dice. Filled a notebook with ideas and results. And found an excellent source of 3D art. Without Quaternius, DSS wouldn’t be possible. His patreon has amazing resources! Up next ProtoATL again! A year went by! #boardgames #gamedesign
