Game Design (by sarah)
I have decided that this month I am having my very own Game Design Month - this is really just me on my own maybe I'll set it up as something official next year but we'll have to see.
Basically thanks to WoPoWriMo I ended up making a game - it is the sort you can have add-ons too and simple or complex versions. So I am going to try and make at least the first phase of it an actuality this month.
The idea is that during this month I have to spend a minimum of 31 hours working on this game!
At the moment I have spent about 5 hrs so far sourcing things like egg/sand timers, boxes and dice!
I already had the design for the cards and need to get a move on in finalising them and getting a couple of sets printed. This will take up alot of time if I'm honest because it's all going to be faffing around with margins and the like!
Of course then there will have to be a website and the like! The most basic game will contain 20 cards, timer, two dice and a rules/games to play sheet. This will unfortunetly set you back £15 but I feel it would be a good investment - especially for writers who the games is aimed at. Hopefully it will be popular with students maybe as a drinking game or something (hoping I'm not now going to be sued or something for encouraging binge drinking) - you know the sort of fun party game that has you rolled up in hysterics 🙂
I suppose I'd best get on with it then hadn't I!

I have worked in publishing but not in actual game design - and I'm entirely sure your not spam so I'm going to keep an eye on you 🙂
