Hi There,
My name is Jacques and I'm just starting to use the internet to reach out to gamers like myself. When I'm not playing or designing games I am either spending time with my wife and baby girl or else I'm studying one of classical Hebrew, koine Greek, or modern German. I'll be starting a PhD program this September for which all these languages are important. Thankfully I know French already or else I'd really be busy.
I've been working on a few game ideas for some time now, but this summer I finally have the chance to make one of them into something tangible. It is a game of tactical space combat for 2-6 players. I've commissioned a great artist to help me with the key art pieces and I'm busy working on the rest. I'm very excited to say that the game is very nearly ready for its first prototype version which I'll be getting through The Game Crafter.
Jacques
PS: I've started keeping a design blog here http://jejboulet.tumblr.com/ where I keep track of useful links and discuss aspects of game design as they become relevant to my project.
