Marketing is Weird

I've spent the past two school days scrolling through social media and making forum and blog posts to advertise for the board game. An interesting experience for sure. I would never have thought that a productive day at school would be on Facebook. The same goes for how exhausting it can be. Not to mention, the Kickstarter is going live tomorrow.

Busy busy busy.

Murder Manor, Marketing, and EEKFEST

So after weeks of coming out with ideas and shooting down the ideas of my team members(I kid, they're cool people), we've come up with an idea that may be a good game, and well themed for the time of year. It's called Murder Manor if the title of this post didn't give it away. It's a game of underhanded tactics, where you can use the items to your advantage or hinder your opponents.

And as a marketing push for the game that's going to go on Kickstarter, we've decided to do The Four Days of Hype: Four days where we reveal small hints of our game before the Kickstarter is released to build up the hype. I've been a bit lax on blogging about it.

Here's day one: The board.

Day Two: The Item Cards

Day Three will be posted later today.

Also, on Saturday, we will be at EEKFEST in St. Albert from 11-5, I will only be there till 2, playtesting our game with anyone who drops by, so if you feel so inclined, come see us and our board game.

So this is a thing.

Better late than never.

I started school on September 2, 2018 for video game design. One of the first things I was told was that I needed to create a blog and post occasionally to slowly build my portfolio. Made the blog the day I was told. And now it's time for my first post. 

I guess the topic of this blog will be board games.

First project of the year is to make a board game with three other people. So far, it's been about as fun as building a board game from scratch sounds like; not much. But sometimes, design can be awful, and that's a part of making games, whether it be cardboard or computer.

I'm sure that I'll figure out how to blog more effectively as time goes on, but for now, it's a start. 

Signing off.
