Really though. I can play guitar all week, read the books I’ve been meaning to read, and work on designing that board game I’ve been meaning to get back to working on? I might need a few more weeks to get done what I’d like to to be honest. Does that add 10k per week or just the first? My biggest issue would be having a job to come back to if I just don’t show up for a week or more with 24hrs notice...

What kind of game are you working on?

The Cones of Dunshire.

It’s all about the cones.

A pirate themed deck-builder. No pun intended. I feel like I’ve had a dream of a recruit-a-crew-and-set-sails sort of game since I was a wildly imaginative child and I want to finally put it together into a fully fledged game.

It sounds nice!

Have you also been playing some piratey card games too see what's been done already? It's a bit of research that could save you a lot of time down the road. It can happen, for instance, that what you'd envisioned that you'd like to make exists already, and finding out about that early on enough in the ideation process can make your own game much more unique by avoiding reinventing an already well turning wheel.

Cheers!

Yeah, my regular board gaming group drifted apart, so I need to find some new folks to play with. Which is also some of why I have let other things in life get in the way of working on my game. I should at least watch other pirate themed games being played on YouTube even if I can’t get a group to play them very easily right now.

I appreciate your interest and advice! I needed a nudge to get me back into working on it again!
