Come play with game designers: breakmygame.com

Lots of scheduled playtesting

Pyro979

Breakmygame.com online and some in person testing. Also look for local designer groups (FB and meetup.com)

This would do really well in the Break My Game discord as an event - https://www.breakmygame.com/

Great table presence! Nice

Pyro979

Looks neat. I like the detail in the hexes. I don't think i've seen that before.

Pyro979

Thank you for spreading positivity.  On reddit of all places.

Pyro979

Come hang out in breakmygame.com discord. We have daily playtests.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the game as it is currently is almost certainly not good enough. A month and a half is not enough time to design, and more importantly, playtest any game (and certainly not one that scales from 1 to 32 players). 

Additionally, besides the above challenge, building an audience on KS, esp. for a first time creator will take 6mo to a year and will cost quite a bit of money. Additionally, the game is almost certainly cannot be manufactured in the US at a price that will make sense. 

I'm not saying give up, but please spend some time learning about modern game design and crowd funding. 

Some resources I recommend: 

  • Crowdfunding Nerd podcast 
  • Fun Problems podcast 
  • Board Game Lab podcast / website
  • daniel.games blog
  • Jamie Stegmier blog
  • Break My Game discord

I'd love this, but I'm in the US. If you do this at a time that is viable for ET morning, I'd love to join. Especially if it's through BMG.

Looks great

Check out the "Fun Problems" podcast (audio or youtube) as well as https://daniel.games blog

You missed one in 3: what're

Love your style

Are there any meaningful decisions the player can make to affect the outcome? If not this lands in the Candyland/Shoots n Ladders category, but with a theme that's not as kid friendly. 

Pyro979

Yeah, your follower count almost certainly is too low. I'd consider pausing and starting a pre-launch campaign.

Additionally I'd add a video showing off the book, as well as some sample pages.

Sounds good. Join us over at https://www.breakmygame.comQonclave of Questionable Questions discord as well. Tons of designers to ask questions.

Pyro979

Correct.  Game Designer (or Game Developer which is usually for hire) designs the mechanics and theme of the game.

Pyro979

Graphic design looks good. The "what makes this game unique" section should be cut under the principle of "show-don't-tell". Is the game actually unique? If so show it to me on the sheet. So far I see 50 pts or unique cards and 4 steps, with cat art. None of this reads unique to me. 

Hopefully this doesn't read as harsh. I've been digging into sellsheets for the past few months. I highly recommend going on YouTube and searching "fun problems podcast sellsheet".

I like 1. 2 is nice, but has less personality IMO. 3 is a bit busy.

Come join us here: https://discord.com/invite/3XM4Tbc

Great place to ask questions, get feedback on rules, do online playtesting (not: not on tts bit other platforms work? Screentop.io being the most popular)

If it feels too random lots of folks will bounce off of it.
