Whew, been super busy this whole summer and I realize I haven’t had a chance to update this in quite a while. I suck – got caught up in some random stuff and preparing for Dragon*Con (still preparing actually) and working on a new digital game, probably for PC and … Continue reading
Seriously, what a delightful little program. I’ve never upgraded from the old Painter IX software, and I kinda doubt I ever will. It’s taken a couple of weeks, but I’ve finally finished converting the old thesis game Melusine into something I could print on GameCrafter, and for a good deal … Continue reading
Since the new Farmnation prototype came in, figure I’ll do a more detailed upwrapping that shows all the packaging that’s typical of Gamecrafter published products, as well as a general rundown of the pieces. All in all, OMG it’s so nice – definitely the kind of pieces I was going … Continue reading
The Creative Mojo podcast from the other week is now archived up on toginet – it’s can be found here for any who are interested. Larry’s segment was totally awesome, and definitely worth a listen. I’m also heading back down to UMBC tonight for the final presentations of the games … Continue reading
Today starting at around 3:10ish I’ll be speaking on the Creative Mojo Podcast about Knit2Go Cards. Squee! I also had no idea who the other guests were going to be, but being followed by Larry Kirwan is completely insane! I LOVE Black 47, and listened to them all throughout high … Continue reading

As promised this weekend at UMBC DEC, here’s the power point presentation and a compilation of the links I brought up as good potential resources. Grouped together in no particular order: Prototyping Resources: The Game Crafter – various prototype parts and custom printer/publisher Hasbro – if any ever Hasbro game has a … Continue reading
As of 8:45 this morning, Knit2Go Cards are now available for purchase directly from TheGameCrafter. Soon I’ll have some in stock to sell from Etsy and take around to local vendors as well – that order’s still coming in. All in all the entire process has been rather pleasant, although … Continue reading
The proofs arrived in the mail yesterday and they totally look and feel awesome. Nice weight and texture on the individual cards. The colors are a smidge more saturated than I thought they’d be, but that’s easily fixed. Got a few punctuation errors to address, but that’ll be done in … Continue reading
I’ve been working on some new prototypes this week, mostly trying to get the old “Fuzzy Go” up to production levels (art and graphic design takes me a looooooong time). So I finally finish all the game files, upload them, proof the digital copies, and set up the store front … Continue reading
