Brush up on that pirate lingo because the high seas await your daring exploits! These aren’t the only the only things coming though. This year has been a whirlwind, with everything happening seemingly all at once. There’s nothing like getting laid off from a job you’ve held for 22 years, only to end up getting a new job as a contractor working with your old coworkers, on your old project, yet for a different company. Gotta love the way life works. The new job does have some downsides though, including slowing down the development process. Not to fear though, several more titles are in the works including variations on 10,000, the dice game, and another based on the old board game, Perfection! In addition to those, a brand new original board game based around the secret lives of aliens.. Do you send a scout down to gather your intel? Beam up and probe a cow? A pedestrian maybe, or do you risk grabbing one of those guys in the black coats that are always chasing you. The choice is yours as long as you can get the information needed for your people to conquer the earth! Also coming soon is a strategy game that’s been done for a while, it just needs some tlc and some AI players. Your goal? Sneak into the dungeon, grab the treasure and get out.. without being seen of course. Can you make it to the vault, avoiding the guards and of course, the other players who might be trying to take your treasure from you. It’s a card / board / strategy game you can even play by yourself! There’s a lot more coming soon, although the pace may slow a bit, but I can assure you that many more wonderful titles are heading your way!
Upcoming Projects…
With Stak! scheduled for release soon, there are a ton of other projects in the works.. Here’s a few that might be making their way to the game table soon! Gremlins Grotto – A simple yet complex strategy game that involves placing gems on a grid in order to complete magic spells. This one is currently in beta testing and has some bugs that still need to be fixed! Rogues N Riches – Another strategy game where you’re goal is to collect the treasure from the vault and make your way to the exit at the other end of the board! Sound easy? It’s definitely not. Plenty of obstacles from monsters, spells and even other players will try to thwart you! Opanico – A custom card game where you need to match different elements on the cards. Your goal? Get rid of all your cards first; but even that may not crown you the winner! Scratch N Score – A common dice game where you take your chances on each roll in order to score the highest amount of points without scratching! Rollin Bonez – Another card game, this time with a pirate twist. Roll your dice in order to collect as many gold coins as you can, but be careful. Ship battles, Raids, Krakens and more are there to oppose you! Can you collect all the treasure and plunder the rest of the players? Unnamed Acronym Game – A concept I am working on that will pit players wits against each other. If I give you an acronym, can you come up with the best meaning for it? Everyone submits their answers and then votes on the winner! SWASQF – Skunks Will Always Smell Quite Funky ! This concept will allow players to use their mobile devices to connect and enter their answers and vote in secrecy!
Stak! Available Soon on the IGT!
And next up on the list is Stak! Coming soon for the Infinity Game Table! Stak! is based on the classic game of skipbo, which in turn is actually based on several other games. This title has now been brought to the game table with a host of new features! Stak! Is the ultimate card game for players of all ages combining elements of sequencing, luck, and skill to keep you on the edge of your seat. The goal is simple: be the first player to empty your draw pile by building stacks of cards in numerical order. With it’s easy to learn rules, it’s fun for all ages! There are several game options you can customize to get the style of game you prefer. You can adjust the number of cards in your draw pile or you can even add cards to the game and go from 1 to 15! If you’re ready to have some fun, Stak! is for you!
CashFlo Release Scheduled
Another year, another great game release, and hopefully only the first of many! In their terminology, CashFlo has been code released. What does that mean? We have a release date! Wooooohooooo! So, on Feb 6th, jump onto your gameboard or table and snatch this one up fast! They found a lot of bugs, and some especially difficult ones to track down as well. It left me searching through code until the very last moment. You’d think a board game would be pretty simplistic, but, lesson learned.. It’s anything but! It did however give me a lot of ideas and a lot of reuseable code and things to work with for upcoming releases, and with each version and each game, some of those components get better and better and more and more robust, like the player select code.. Yea, I limit to 4 players typically, but if I had to my player select will handle pretty much whatever I throw at it, and it works surprisingly well. It was copied into Rogues and Riches, and is being copied into the next 4 projects as well. I have about 6 total projects in the work, so i’m hoping I can keep pace and release something new every 2 months or so. We’ll see how this goes! For now, it’s time to get back to work!
Cribbage Released and Climbing..
Cribbage was released on 12/5.. and despite the bugs, (that we have fixed!) it continues to climb in sales, already surpassing Popalot and two thirds of the way to Tetridoku! Definitely surpassed my expectations, especially in the first 30 days. Now, there numbers and mine didn’t exactly line up, but theres a lot of reasons for that. I did see a bunch posts on social media where people had connectivity issues , so they’d only connect to a hotspot to download, and not stay connected while playing, which would in turn affect my tracking.. So, looks like my portion will be a little more than I expected.. But now that that is done and out of the way, it’s been back to work on some of the other projects sitting around, notably CashFlo, which is currently in beta testing and looking to be released next month. Also coming up will be Rogues & Riches, a board and card game based on robbing the vault and escaping before you’re caught! Definitely a lot of quick fun and strategy involved, and I’m having a blast with it! Once Rogues is off to beta test, it will be time to move on to other projects.. still have goblins grotto, delve, opanico, skip, frustration and more.. I have enough on my plate to last through the year, and maybe then some.. Sigh.. That’s ok I guess, I am loving it and loving that people are having a great time playing my games! Thank you!
