Hey everyone, I started a game a few years ago called Chip Shop (http://www.chipshopgame.com). It was inspired by movies like The Micro Men and TV shows like Halt and Catch Fire. In it players are the head of a computer company in 1980s America, looking for a slice of the action.
I worked on several versions of the game, play testing throughout 2016 at meet ups, the UKGE and Essen. Then I was left a bit stuck, at an impasse, not sure what to do with all the feedback and extremely overwhelmed.
Then some personal stuff, and a lot of work commitments kind of made me lose 2017. Now it’s 2018 and I’m a bit sick of making excuses and want to get back to finishing some things.
I think I came to a realisation that whilst I’m good with coming up with ideas, research, writing, theme, and basic design, I’m not so good at the mechanics and If I am to continue things, I need someone to collaborate with who’s better at that side of things.
Aside from the base game I have ideas for expansions, and future games. So this would hopefully be an ongoing and long-term partnership if we get on.
I'd love to hear from you, Chris (chriswhward@gmail.com) :)
