I THINK I've got the fully loaded music system working, but some devices don't have enough memory for that, so I also have a streaming option, and sometimes the music just turns off. * Music continues to be super cool but also the riskiest part of the app to rely on, since it changes dynamically with the player turn and danger level. We have just enough information in the app - whose turn it is, the danger level, and what each character starts the campaign with - that we can ask players what they want to do thematically and hold their hand along the path for the first page. The only issue is that you're not told to go to the app until the end of setup in the rulebook, so some might miss this opportunity for that reason. I am so excited and I feel you can learn the game just from the app without the rulebook if you want.
#HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING PLAID HAT GAMES FULL#
* We integrated a full tutorial into the app. Some of the coolest stuff and the biggest challenges I've been working on: The last few weeks have been 100% Familiar Tales app work as we near the launch of the game. I think and hope that I'll be in love with it after I finally play it. It's not a complex game but the ramifications of each action are hard to parse out at first. If only it'd arrived sooner I'd have several plays in already! As it stands, I've read the rules and even wrote out a rules summary to help me get a handle on everything in the game. * Nicaea: This wasn't at the con, but it arrived in the mail while I was gone. It's strange how much fun it can be to play this video game WITH someone else. He helped me attain a couple new levels with the Ironclad. * Slay the Spire: Was with our developer Nick, so of course I had to get a Slay the Spire tutoring session. * Ethnos: An oldie that I've never got around to buying, so I picked it up at the con, I think everyone I game with will like it a lot.
Both the deckbuilding AND the worker placement seem a little lighter than in Dune Imperium - instead it feels like the meat of the game is in resource management. I have read the rules and am excited to play.
* Lost Ruins of Arnak: Heard about this a lot last year and resisted its call, but another staff member got it handed to them suddenly at the end of the con. * Kabuto Sumo: Probably my favorite game I played at the con, it's light silly fun with just enough going on. Some non-Plaid games I'm excited about coming out of the con: There's nothing we can do for 100% safety, but that's not what I need - what I need is to be somewhere where everyone is doing their part to keep us all safe. Having the full mask and vaccine requirement had me feeling great about the con. It was a huge success and the buzz for Familiar Tales is especially through the roof. We demoed and sold a whole bunch of Ashes and Summoner Wars, and did a ton of press and media demos for Familiar Tales. Considering how much I still have to wake up with my 4-year-old son, getting several full nights' sleep had me energized, even as our days were busy and draining. I'll talk about all the work I've been putting into the Familiar Tales app, where my gaming life is at post-PAXU, next steps for Summoner Wars Online, and some gaming trends that are motivating me.ĥ of us in the Plaid Hat crew had a blast at PAX Unplugged. Welcome back to the Plaid Hat Tech and Games blog! It's been a few weeks and there's lots to talk about, so this post is extra long!
