July 2023 Recap - Cyber Pet Quest, Fulfillment, ...

July was a relatively quiet month where we did a lot of playtesting of Cyber Pet Quest and preparation for GenCon, as well as wrangle the logistical beast that is shipping and fulfillment for Lunar Rush and Omicron Protocol - Critical Condition Expansion. We are now 2 days away from GenCon 2023 starting, so if you're headed to GenCon, PLEASE come by Booth 2932 to say hi to us and check out the games!

What are the chances? The Omicron variant...

The last week has been surreal... And since we haven’t written a blog post in a while, I thought I'd post this here to share.

Painting Alt Sculpt Lucky

Preparing for DunDraCon, GAMA, and JoCo cruise haven’t left me with much free time but I managed to squeeze in a couple hours of painting. Without further ado, here’s Lucky!

The blog has taken a back seat since the end of the Kickstarter campaign. The holidays were busy and we had a lot of logistics to figure out as we finalized our manufacturing plan and got started producing OP. Exciting times! One of the exciting developments is that we produced our first prototypes of the alt sculpt Bolt and Lucky miniatures.

A Massive Rules Streamling - Print and Play v1.3 is READY!

A Massive Rules Streamling - Print and Play v1.3 is READY!

Ok, it’s been a LONG while since I wrote a regular blog. Do you guys miss me? ;)

Well, Brendan and I have been crazy busy demoing as well as streamlining any “kinks” in the rules where it causes our demo-ers and playtesters to go “huh?” Since we did so many rounds of playtests at Adepticon, we were able to come up with some pretty neat rules simplification that led to the new PRINT AND PLAY V1.3! After playtesting these rules a little bit, we definitely feel that the game is much smoother and easier to learn and play. We hope you will try it out by downloading it and giving us feedback in the survey links we have in the “READ ME FIRST” PDF file.

Rules Rules Rules!

Just doing a quick one here. We are officially on v0.2 of the rules now, after Brendan and I spent 7-8 hours together doing another pass of it and merging edits and suggestions from our volunteer editors.

Speaking of which, we want to give a HUGE THANKS to Alex Villagomez and Brian Zavoda for taking time to read through and give comments/edits to 50+ pages of rules! Without their help, we would not have been able to do all the edits that we’ve done and progress to the first big version update (v0.1 to v0.2) of the rules.

The Draft Rulebook is Written!

The Draft Rulebook is Written!

This will be a short one, since we’ve been writing this rulebook for way too long!

As we prepare for the next important step of the game development, getting the first draft of the rulebook written is crucial for beginning blind playtests and rules illustrations. Without blind playtests, we would never know if Omicron Protocol can be learned by new players without any help from the designers.
