All setup and ready to playtest Just in Time the cooperative abstract on time travel.
This was the first test since latest change to rewinding time and the mechanic played great! Unfortunately we did not plan it out particularly well and ran out of cards near the end of the first round 
#PennedPossibilities 3, writing, Voidfront, long post
Level design on Friday. I don't want to fall from a height and spoil the view with a fence - the solution is holographic that are displayed over a distance. I once saw this in the game Observer. I created a material and a primitive object in Unreal Engine modeling mode
Deep in revision mode on [REDACTED] this morning, combing through notes from the last two playtests and player feedback. Sharpening mechanics, tightening lore, gearing up for the final round of playtesting later this year. #GameDesign #TTRPG #WorldBuilding #OuroborosSystem
I've written a system to replace ability scores directly with modifiers in #13thAge #ttrpg
This greatly expands the stat arrays available at level 1 and provides innovative advancement schedules at higher levels for further flexibility.

Hey #gamestudies and #digitalhumanities (maybe even at #dh2025?) and #arthistory and #gamedesign and #humanities and #gamedev and #whatever folks, we have extended the deadline for our planned anthology about #Blasphemous. We have exciting unconventional submissions already but still some space for another few.
Details here: https://zenodo.org/records/15516402
New deadline: **August 6**
If you have an exciting idea but don't know if you are qualified/researcher/dev enough: Don't think no further, submit!
Et enfin, j'ai testé Dungeon Words.
L'idée c'est un Dungeon Crawler qui rencontrerait les mots croisés. J'ai trouvé le design brillant. Vraiment. ça marche hyper bien je trouve et le twist sur le boss (j'ai fait que le 1er dungeon) est bien pensé. Amateurs de jeux de mots, cruciverbistes et/ de dungeon crawlers, essayez le, c'est LA bonne pioche :

J'espère qu'il trouvera le succès qu'il mérite.
south shore Vibes : un roll n write Hawaïen : on vend le produit de sa pêche et on fait du skate pour développer son matos et ses skills avant d'aller surfer de grosses vagues. plein de mini jeux avec un thème super cool et travaillé ; la feuille m'a semblé chargé mais rien d'insurmontable aux habitués du genre. Amateurs de Roll n write, vous pouvez y aller, ça se passe ici :

J'ai enfin terminé mon 3ème playtest pour le Solo PnP Game Design Contest de BGG
J'ai testé :
Boomer Shooter : un jeu de cartes inspiré des vieux FPS (quake Unreal). L'idée a semblé cool (on degomme des vagues de mob, en substance, dans un design très 90's), j'ai proposé quelques améliorations que j'espère utiles, il me manquait une difficulté. Pour l'essayer, ça se passe ici :

Hi, dear friends! I'm back from vacation at #ProtospielMichigan near Detroit. It was an awesome convention where I played so many amazing games, and one of them was my own.
I played my retro-futuristic demolition derby tabletop game "Vroom / Zoom / Boom" and it was a hit.
"My favorite game of the convention hands-down." said one player. Every time I demoed it, I took voluminous notes about how to make it better.
Folks, my friend's got laid off. He's looking for referrals for #GameDesigner positions in Europe. If you have anything please let me know.
In his words:
Game designer with over 13 years of experience. Recent specializations are meta system design, economy design, content design. Been designing different kinds of games - shooters, moba, time-manager, hopa even mobile browser MMO. Made games and systems from scratch and worked on projects in theirs live-ops operation stage as well. At last project created and implemented all core metagame features and economy CoreLoop systems. I am now seeking to contribute my game design expertise and passion for games to another PC/console game.
URGENT

Look at that SHOWOFF 
Work's been nonstop, so I haven't had much time to write this new Haunted West scenario that's been burning away in my mind's eye. This morning's a working breakfast: coffee, research, and finally getting these ideas onto the page. Weaving in the historical details and mechanics and melding it all with the weird. #GameDesign #Writing #HauntedWest
