My biggest goal right now is getting an updated version of Wheel & Deal (board game) for submission to publishers ready and having it playtested at the board gaming event we're having at the start of the school year (August 25th). The game has been mechanically solid for a while, so the work I've been doing has been graphical work on component design and rules rewriting. Getting good-looking player screen, card, box, and rule files ready for upload to
http://www.printplaygames.com to print out the nicer version. Here are some example graphics for the rules doc:
The above "Sides of the Mining Die" graphics are also being printed as stickers to attach to a six-sided die.
Task List
1) Sticker File: Done
2) Card File: Current card images aren't the correct size for the Printplaygames file. May just self print them with current dimensions.
3) Player Screen Front: Done
4) Player Screen Back: 1/3rd done. Updating the info from the old player screen back file to be more stylized with the new fonts I'm using (fonts shown in above graphics).
5) Rules Doc: Looking a lot snazzier than before but could still use some simplification. Want to get feedback from people on it.
6) Gather Ideas for publishers to reach out to: Mayfair Games could be solid. Asmodee would work. Maybe Rio Grande. Maybe Indie Boards & Cards. Need to look more into events I can easily get to for showing games to publishers without having to rely on sending emails to the submission people (meeting in person and having them physically see the game is more likely to work). Getting to an Unpub event would be very good.
