This is a project in development, which aims to create 4 Print & Play games and support my work. Please read the description and help this bundle reach its goal.
I'm Wash, Brazilian artist and designer. English is not my language so I would like to apologize for any mistakes, I will do my best [...] For two years I have been developing some ideas for games that are fun but also economical, in my country board printing is extremely expensive, so I always try to create games using cards.
Last year I launched Belona in PnP format, which is a strategy game for 2 players inspired by cyberpunk culture, and then I started working on 3 other games, Ceramus, Adventura and O Obscuro. But then the pandemic came and started to wreak havoc.
I got unemployed. I've been trying to survive with some freelance work, but it's getting harder and harder. I had to take out loans to pay bills and in the last month I had to take out more loans, a storm in my city ripped roof tiles off my house and the repair was expensive.
Anyway, I keep looking for jobs and opportunities, but I also love creating games. With that in mind, I've decided to present these ideas to you, hoping that, with your help, I can at least pay the basic bills for a while and focus on those games for you and whoever is interested.
By supporting this bundle, you will be helping me to continue developing these games. The dollar is valuable in my country, so a little help is actually a big help. So, with the $2000 goal, I can continue looking for a job, but also dedicating time for approximately 4 months on developing, testing and sharing these games, with care and affection.
This is a two player strategy game. Here, each player controls a faction and must move their groups (6-sided dice) around the board, harvesting resources and trying to dominate the city by conquering key spaces. It's a game inspired by cyberpunk culture and brings it in its stories and also in its aesthetics.
Status: Belona is already complete with design and gameplay. With this itchfunding, I want to add a new movement mechanic and also "Hack", which allows factions to hack and dominate rival areas.
In Ceramus you are the artist with the most important task! Create an incredible panel with tiles that permeate different styles and moments in the history of the world, you need to manage your pieces well, use creativity and strategy and pay attention to details, after all, if you don't do your best, your opponent will surely do it.
Status: Ceramus is already developed, however, it needs maintenance in the rules and in the design. He participated in BGG's 9-Cards Contest, but development stopped. With this itchfunding, in addition to finalizing the game and design, I want to add more game forms and special actions to increase competitiveness.
There are countless wonders around the world, each with its own peculiarity, such as treasures, artifacts and also sinister mysteries. In Adventura, you are an explorer in search of emotions and discover the greatest secrets in the world. Adventure is an exploration game for 1 to 2 players. Divided by turns, each player can choose to explore a location, travel to another location or perform actions such as shopping, improving their team and equipment. The goal is to earn the highest score by finding all the hidden treasures on the maps.
Status: Adventura is still in development, created for the 54-Cards Contest on BGG and also discontinued. With this goal, I want to recreate the design, improve the mechanics that are really fun and add solo and more player mode.
In The Obscure you will play with Luara, an ordinary nerdy girl who begins to notice signs of evil approaching Meradosia. You will have to move around the city map investigating reports of witnesses who witnessed supernatural events, you will face dark creatures and you will have to race against time to defeat the greatest evil, the Obscure.
The Obscure has influences from the aesthetics of 80s / 90s cinema, such as E.T., Goonies, The Thing, Back to the Future, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Gremlins and more with the Synthwave colors and aspects.
Status: This is my favorite. It is a storytelling game, an immersion in a fun young horror. The game was underdeveloped on BGG, but made great progress in the Brazilian version. With this goal, I want to finish the design that looks really cool, create new stories and a new movement mechanic to make the game more dynamic.
By supporting this project, you will immediately be acquiring the current and finished print & play version of the BELONA game.
Each goal will free up a game. At the end of itchfunding, you will receive all released games. You can also join a group on Discord and follow and participate in the development.
