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!
May 2023 Recap - Fulfillment, Manufacturing, and KUBLA!
Apr 2023 Recap - Awards, Fulfillment, Manufacturing, and GAMA Expo!
It’s been a while since we updated our blog, and we realized that all the useful information about what we’re doing is sent out every month in our newsletter and Kickstarter updates, so why not put them here for everyone to see? So, we’ll start with last month’s update, and will post the May recap soon!
We have TONS of stuff to update on this month, and all of it is good news. The most exciting news is that Omicron Protocol has made it onto the list of Origins Awards finalists in the categories of "Best Miniatures Game" and "Best 3D Art" (for Jugger the Elephant)! The recognition has us over the moon right now (pun intended). A big "Thank you" to the jury for choosing us! We'll post official links to the nominations once they're officially announced. In the meantime, these are the photos I took at the Media First Look event at GAMA Expo.
On Starter Sets
We have done a lot of thinking over the last few months about what kind of game Omicron Protocol is. We started our journey by standing on the shoulders of giants. We knew we wanted to make a game to rival our favorite games in the genre that brought us together as friends, games like Guild Ball, X-Wing, and Malifaux. We wanted unique characters, small scale skirmish, competitive balance, and most of all a minimum of negative play experiences.
