Well, I'm getting a little traction with the indiegogo site. Just friends and family so far. I'll be cranking up the promotion machine here in a couple of days. I am fighting the urge to be uptight about this process....I really want to have a story to tell when it is all over. (hopefully a good story!)
Based on my new found inspiration from the principles in Rework, I'm launching. Now.
Polished the TCG page, slung together an official website, picked IndieGoGo over Kickstarter and set up a project, created a Facebook page....(and most importantly) hooked 'em all up together! The clock is ticking....let's see where things go. No, I'm not reworking the game...
"Rework" is the name of a great book I recently listened to. It's sort of a manifesto for for the new way of doing business. It has been incredibly inspirational and I can truly say this is one of the first business books I've felt an instant connection with. Here are some of my notes that I have made that I'm using as a constant reminder. Keep in mind that each of these is packed with meaning...
After getting everything uploaded I decided to make a few more tweaks.
I figured out that TCG (now no longer affiliated with Superior POD) prints in sheets of 16. So with only 52 cards in the deck, I had 12 cards to play with. I decided to create some "support" cards that may come in handy for game design. Also, changed the background image, fixed the game cover image, and updated the rules. Finally, I decided to go ahead and publish the current version...more as a motivator than anything else. Putting in my order today... |
