Hi people, I'm János, a guy from Hungary, who hasn't published any games yet. It's not even my first day here, but I haven't got the time to post anything until now, so I'm still new.
Shortly about my stuff- The past 3 years, I've been working on a thematic strategy game, with it's current work title being "Bonefire".
It takes place in the late paleolithic, in a semi-fantasy setting, where 6 different playable, and 7 non-playable hominid races fight for dominance, or hide for survival, evolving, acquiring knowledge, and things like that. I'm doing the artwork part too, any graphic artists reading this- I would be glad to talk to you.
Thank you, I bet, I'm gonna have a nice time here.
Well, currently the game is in a second phase of testing, and a pretty decent amount of the art is done (I've uploaded a few pieces of the main board and a player board, to show something about the actual game). Last year I organized a series of playtests, and managed to reduce play time from 3,5 to 1,5 hours with 4 players, with an option for longer or even faster games, depending on victory condition. Races seem balanced, there are non-player Humanoid races being an active part of the world, quite a rich palette of options, but quite a few gameplay changes still await testing. Overally, I'm quite fond with it, but I'm still not sure if the game is fit for publishing, or has any chance on the market, or it's gonna stay as my little experiment or stepping stone for something more sophisticated.
