Long Lost Progress!

It has been too long since my last post, and important progress has been made! We realized that we weren't getting very far trying to design and play test games solely over the internet, so the four of us currently involved in Squid Games decided to start meeting regularly. This has made a huge difference in our productivity, and is also incredibly fun.

Ben has been chugging away at a new soccer board game, and the prototype he created has been great for generating new ideas and toying with current ones. Liege Lords has been stalled for awhile because I haven't taken the time to work on it, but that too has changed with our regular meetings. We've been meeting at a local bar that has an ever-changing stock of micro-brews. (Good company beer can work wonders for creativity!)

Check back for updates on some of our games in the future! We now meet every other week for a few hours to share ideas and play test whatever needs it, and I'll post some of our updates and experiences here.
