5 years of Pocket Sports has been, and still is great.
Just today though....I've found myself wanting to branch out into something new.
I've got a couple of ideas from the past still to work on.....but I'd like to look at 'turbo' charging some games from concept to publication to grow the brand....
Anyone else reached this point?
I've always wanted to design a game with POLYHEDRAL dice. Aside from RPGs, not too many games use those dice...
And of course nobody on this site has nearly as much success with their games as you have Hamish. Congrats on that.
"Growing the brand" involves some kind of "Sports" game. I'm more interested in Fantasy or Science Fiction ... rather than sport games. But I understand where you are coming from.
But I'm unsure of what you mean? Are you wanting to put out a "different" kind of dice game, or are you looking at another sport...
I have on the BACKBURNER a Girls Gymnastics game that involved dice rolling and matching dice with various acrobatic moves to complete a routine within a 2 minute sand timer. And you would score X points the total of the cards/moves you've done.
Players play four separate events, and the one with the highest score is considered the winner. It was to be a girls dice game - but I'm not very familiar with Gymnastics and the moves to be able to "flesh out" such a game...

Looking at non sports games for a change....possibly card games.
I would like to do a series of solitaire or two player games.
In my head I have the title "Men of War". Micro games based on famous historical figures (Napoleon, Alexander the Great etc) in which players need to pass or complete pivotal moments in their lives.
The other idea is to rehash '8 Gates' and do a fantasy themed dice game...loosely using the 'control' die system of Pocket Sports that controls a party of 4 characters with varying skills as they move through a dungeon or other locations towards the boss/goal.
Another is a card driven global domination game with players putting action points into categories (Military/Government/Economy) to overtake countries.
With production happening for new sports games at the moment, I shouldn't be considering anything new......or should I?? :)
