The next 4 questions I ask when considering a game for publication relate to costs, potential profits, and how excited I am to spend time on it.
Game Submissions: Top 10 Things I Look For (Part 1)
I spend a good amount of time looking at games from game designers. These are the first 3 questions I ask myself when I consider them for publication.
What Do Board Game Publishers Do?
Three years ago, I was preparing for my first Kickstarter campaign. I have learned so much about making games (and myself) since then!
World’s Fair 1893 is live on Kickstarter!
Countdown: -2 days. Yikes! I forgot to announce here that the campaign is live.
Campaign Page Update
Countdown: 12 days. Over the last week, I have fleshed out a lot of the content for the campaign page.
Project Blurb
Countdown: 18 days. The project image and short blurb are incredibly important: these are all people see of your project when they browse on Kickstarter.
Who Makes Our Prototypes and Preview Copies?
Countdown: 32 days. I mailed out preview copies today. It’s always a pleasure to work with Andrew Tullsen at Print & Play Productions to make these.
Campaign Page Update
Countdown: 50 days. After Gen Con, I sketched out all the content for the campaign page to get an idea of what content I’ll need to write and graphics have created.
Rough Storyboard / Reference Video
Countdown: 51 days. I finished creating a rough storyboard / reference video over the weekend.
