A new possibility to improve

After the first draft of all models is now done, I was confident to “change my running system”. Of course in hopes of even more quality printing in the future. I bought the “easy to level” buildplate and a new resin vat that is much more durable but not as easy to print with…

With change always comes problems and until today I have not yet worked through them all. There is just always something higher in the priority list. But well… I made the change, now I have to adapt to it and if everything fails I can always go back to the old system. What you see here on those pictures is the new hardware, and a misprint of a heaven building. It’s weird how those misprints look sometime and once you take them out of the printer you can sometimes do nothing else but wonder how this happened. Fortunately the community of this printer is very close to each other, very friendly and answers are always just one written sentence away.

50% through (the first version)

On this picture you can see what I created in total in miniatures  for the “hell” side of the game. I am not a good photographer and I hope a good friend will help me soon to make some really good pictures of all the things. As you see below, the “heaven” stuff is still under construction and in painting.

I simplified the army board considerably and made it more multifunctional at the same time. You can see it in the gallery. On the picture on the bottom right you can see what has to fit into the army board. Now I want to have it carved in mahogany.

What I wanted to avoid were cardboard tags with coloured arrows and strokes and all this stuff  that you can see on "modern" board games. I wanted to make a game that would be suspected in an old library in some old medieval town house. If you see it fully painted, it should look antique. I think the cards will also make a good contribution so that the game does not become brown and grey only.

HUMANS with "Superpowers"

Some more playtests have turned the resource system upside down and now there are very fast phases and turns. No player has to wait a long time to make his next decision.

What I really wanted to prevent was for one player to watch the other play and get bored. The resource system prevents this completely. When we invented this system, I couldn't get my grin out of my face for 5 minutes, which is kind of a big deal for a German. :D

The cards you can see here on the pictures are by the way placeholders only. For the game I made, as described before, my own poker deck which is still not finished and which I have therefore not yet proxy-printed. It is a very nice poker deck with all cards having different colorful faces.

There are so many cool poker decks out there and every player can use the one he likes (wich would make me very sad because i worked hard on the one that comes with the game :D).
