The Sophomore Effort Begins

So, I started this blog a year ago.  I was active for quite a while, but have been silent for too long.  Time to try to fix that.

So, when I started this game company a few years ago, my initial plan was to do one game a year.  It seemed like a fair goal, and still does to some degree.  The publishing process on Bullfrogs has been a huge learning process for me, and I think I ended up backing away from that goal, at least for the next project.  Maybe 1 game every 1.5 years. :)

So, what's next for Thunderworks Games after Bullfrogs?  I had no idea for a long time.  I'd been working on some of my own prototypes (both new and old) throughout the year and I wasn't getting super pumped about any of them.  

I ended up going to Protospiel in Madison this fall looking for a game or two from other designers that I might want to publish.  I did find 4-5 interesting games that I'm pursuing that I hope to tell you guys about sometime, but the big takeaway was a spark of inspiration. 

I've feverishly been working on a new game that popped into my head while I was there.  I've been playtesting nearly everyday.  Making big changes at first, and now making small changes.  I think it's settling down to be the close to its final version and I think it's going to be awesome. I can't wait to tell you more about it.  

For now, the name is "Roll Player".  It's a game about building a RPG character.  There's some more info on it on BGG here. Check out some images from recent playtesting below. :)
