Two Months Left

[SheikhJahbooty]

Everything is taking longer than I want it to.

Just over 60 days left in the contest and I just now finished a playtest document.



Just in case you want to see how awesomely I'm getting along on this.

Judges, I will have a well laid out and designed version, but just in case... you know, if something happens to me... just grab it to be my entry.

How are the rest of you coming along? If you also have early versions of your games, post links in this thread.

that's the first will I've seen in a Forum, ever.

I love you sheik, just in case I don't get another chance.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Bunraku Nights is pretty much ready. It's being playtested, I'm laying it out nicely, and trying to cull a few pages (to reduce about 35 to 30 pages...without just using 8 point font).

I'll try to get something up this week.

[madunkieg]

Plenty of time left, but I'm stumped exactly where you'd think I'd be fine. What do I use for my core system? Zero-sum, prisoner's dilemma, guessing game, or do I try to come up with something different? In the meantime, I'm fiddling with layout and playing boardgames for inspiration.

Anyone got the shakey panics yet? It's only 30 pages!

[madunkieg]

Yeah. Because it's only 30 pages, and I'm doing some things that are more complex than usual. The problems are all getting solved one by one, very slowly. I'm surprised that the need for art isn't making me panic. Actually, I think it might be more accurate to say that I'm not panicked about art yet.

[SheikhJahbooty]

I totally just gave up on art and decided to use the font Tequila Hill.

[vulpinoid]

Art is the least of my worries.

I could generate a 30 page cyberpunk artbook with the stuff I've created over the last few months.

It wouldn't be good as a game, but it'd look damn fine.

Actually, given the ethos of "style over substance", maybe I should release this as a second entry into the contest.


1. Here is art to inspire you.

2. Go play something inspired by the images you've just seen.

(3. If you really need a die mechanic. Any time something dramatic happens, just roll a d6. The GM will do likewise and so will any players trying to oppose you...highest roll gets to narrate the outcome.)
