#The Game Crafter

[drtrashgames]

Here’s a series of board games I’ve made recently.

Astro Asterid’s Quick Shuttle Repair

Derelict ships in space need to be fixed quickly, so they call on Astro Asterid to repair them! Carry resources through the halls of various ships to repair systems that have crashed. The more resources you carry, the slower you move, and the more likely more systems will go offline! Move quickly but strategically to repair all the systems before time runs out!

Treasure by Torchlight

A single player dungeon crawling role playing game featuring cute little mammal characters in a fantasy setting. Journey through dungeons collecting treasure and defeating monsters to level up your character so you can take on the final boss! But be careful, with every step you take your torchlight grows dimmer. Keep that torch lit as you explore randomly generated dungeons!

Treasure by Torchlight: Bite Size

This is a mint-tin version of the same game. This “bite size” version contains everything the full size game does. An enormous game in a tiny package!

Noah’s Ark

A very simple mint-tin game for young players. Move down the landscape collecting animals and bringing them one by one back to the ark. But hurry up! The flood waters are rising! Count up points at the end of the game and see if you got a high score!

The Longest Week

In the middle of a zombie apocalypse you manage to find shelter and call for help. However, help won’t arrive for 7 days. During the day scavenge for weapons, farm for food, or gather resources to strengthen your gate because when night falls the zombie horde attacks! As the days progress the horde outside grows larger and stronger. Can you survive the week and be rescued?

All of these games can be found with more information and prices on my storefront on The Game Crafter website here!

Fingerbones

This morning, I discovered that The Game Crafter is having a Single Card Challenge, a push for designers to create games that use only a single poker-size card, front and back, with no other dedicated components. Per the rules, small tokens are allowed, and dice are potentially allowed if the game's target audience justifies it, but really it should use as little beyond the card as possible.

OBVIOUSLY, instead of doing normal New Year's Eve stuff, I spent the bulk of today working on a design for Fingerbones, a simple but somewhat strategic race game (with a skeleton theme, for some reason).

Anyway, the contest rages on for a week and a bit, but I decided to go full bore and finish the thing in one day. You can get it here, although the logistics of buying a single card are not really economically sensible for anyone, so like... don't do that. Instead, read the rules here!

Meet the Shock Troupers!

A squad of performance artists, whose extremely bizarre and violent acts were banned on every civilized planet (under penalty of death in some cases), who found themselves a captive audience in the Arena.

The concept of a group of horrible alien space clowns may not be 100% original, but it is fun. This squads theme actually didn't start out as clownish at all, but was more of a creepy skeletal-alien concept but this ended up winning out in the end.

I don't really self-promote normally but, someone bought a copy of my lenormand deck recently so maybe someone else would like a copy too. This is by far my favorite lenormand deck in my collection but maybe I'm biased.

So, here's the Arctic Lenormand. A deck of photos licensed under Creative Commons Zero. Curated from Pexels, Unsplash, and Pixabay with the exception of one photo from my own collection. The UV coated deck comes with a folio of keywords for each card and credits for each photo so you can check out the photographers' other works. All neatly tucked in a surprisingly sturdy mint tin ready to travel with you for readings anywhere.

Find the Arctic Lenormand over on The Game Crafter for $21.99

"palworld is a better built game than recent pokemon" This game has sliders where the default loads 3000 dropped items at once throughout the entire game world and when i turned that slider down, its memory usage dropped like a rock (and it still runs an exciting 5k-6k memory compared to uh, literally every other high intensity game. I can open it up to the title screen, let it do absolutely nothing, and it will eat up 1k memory. the only thing that comes remotely close is firefox with many tabs open, aka a browser i'm actually fucking using). You do not have to go to the mat for this thing, I fucking promise.

#seeing people unironically praise this game for being 'better made' is deeply fascinating #because it's riddled with the kind of jank that's extremely specific to like #people who are just clunking systems together and dont know how to integrate them into a whole #THEY HAVE MADE AN OPEN WORLD CRAFTER EXPLORATION GAME WHY DID THEY NOT USE THAT AS THE TEMPLATE #DID THEY LOSE THE FILES?? WHAT HAPPENED???

One of the reasons I made Treasure by Torchlight the way I did is because I wanted to make something that appealed specifically to me. I have ADHD and I made every aspect of my game work for my ADHD brain.

Problem:

I wanted to make a D&D style game where you can level up your characters, but I’m bad at math and my brain refuses to keep short term information saved properly.

Solution:

I made everything visual and tactile. Part of the reason my game has so many components is because I like being able to swap out the pieces and change how my character tracker looks and plays. I made an abacus to track the stats with cubes, and I included a way save the data so I can come back to it later.

Problem:

I wanted to make a dungeon crawling game, but cards don’t always lay flat and could turn accidentally and take up a lot of space.

Solution:

I made the dungeon puzzle pieces that connect together. Now no matter how many times I play my game, it all comes together nicely and I have unique dungeons that stay pieces together!

Problem:

Enemies become easier the stronger I become. I need a way to keep them engaging even after fighting them 100 times.

Solution:

I added levels to the enemies. Once you reach a higher level, they start doing higher attacks!

Every part of this game was designed so that my ADHD would vibe with it!

Meet the Triumvirate!

Solar systems with life are rare, and ones with sentient life are rarer still but the members of this Squad are from a solar system with 3 planets that each evolved sentient life independently. Though they are all highly different from one another, their species have forged an unbreakable bond of friendship and formed an Arena Squad together.

The alien designs for the Triumvirate were all largely inspired by some of the weird looking creatures from the covers of old pulp magazines, especially ones painted by Frank R. Paul. The idea of aliens using their differences as the basis for their friendship rather than their similarities appeals to me too - there'd be no competition for resources or environments if none of them could even survive on the others planets after all.
