Entry Number Zero: Mission Statement

 

I wrote my first post and realized something. That it was very unhelpful. It sucked. So you get this post instead.

This is as close to our official website as we'll be getting for a while. So maybe a mission statement of sorts would be a good first step.

This blog will be about my journey. My journey has, so far, culminated in Wild Dragon Games.

I am Wild Dragon Games. Our aim is very simple: to make games. I know this is an over-simplification, but to say we want to make "quality" games, or "interesting" games is... redundant. It's obvious. So why say it?

As to what kind of games, let's just say that I'm flexible. I have 20+ game ideas written down ranging from simple number-mathing games to complex 4X games and an even more complex time-travel-cliché-epic... thing. I have built five "functional" prototypes and one non-functional one. (This doesn't include the Candyland knockoff I made when I was, like, 9.) I think we're good for a while.

Those are all tabletop games. They are not all viable; they are not all ready to exist. Even some of the prototypes... need work. Some will never even reach that stage. They are all mostly different.

Mind you, I've been throwing together games since I was five. Ten years ago, that was all video games. So there are 20+ video game ideas hanging around in one form or another in my archives, too. Oh. And 4-10 tabletop RPG systems.

As it is (really) just me, I think it best to take them one at a time.

Obviously, no game can be made just by myself. So I have help. (Thus the "we".) I intend to honour that help; however, they may not be the same help for every project, so I'll just have to credit people as each project comes up.

These are early days for Wild Dragon Games. Early days indeed. All we have is a Discord channel and this blog. We don't even have a BoardGameGeek entry. But these things -- and more -- will come. And as they come, I will post here (and on Discord). Maybe there's even a Patreon in our future. Who knows.

The first few entries here will likely be rapid-fire, because we want to get somewhere soon. I will try to organize these entries as best I can.

We're planning a journey into the wild. Join us in our search for dragons.

Schedule: WDG in October

We are so  busy! There's the Kickstarter , Gamealot (this weekend!), a livestream , and the Spooky Geeky Market  (Oct 26-27)! Not to mention my personal life (heh),  Gamer's Den every Wednesday, and Giles Tenderworth's Monsters in the Dark . October is a very busy month for Wild Dragon Games! The Human-Hunter-Monster-Cannibal Kickstarter does not appear to be going well, but I'm learning something new every day! It will remain live until the end of Halloween because that was the plan. If it succeeds, fantastic! If it does not, then I'll spend six to 18 months reworking it and launch again.  I'll name the cards and the shirts will vanish! You've been warned! In case you didn't know, HHMC is a colourblind-friendly card game for 2-5 players. It's Hearts meets a zombie apocalypse. (With NO zombies! it just has that nom-nom feel.) So it's a trick-taking game followed by a unique interactive scoring phase. We're going to Gamealot this weekend! ...

Announcement: Human-Hunter-Monster-Cannibal LIVE on Kickstarter!

I have many faults. I have many weaknesses and fears. But I push through them and present to you--! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wilddragongames/human-hunter-monster-cannibal/ The "H" there is cut a bit. And poor Elizabeth Borden is basically hidden entirely. But that's fine . Human-Hunter-Monster-Cannibal, for those who don't know, is a trick-taking, hand-building game for 2-5 players designed from the ground up to be colourblind friendly. Take as much charge as you can of a 1450s village in the mountains or forest or desert and guide the spring festival that you might survive the monstrous conjunction. There are free stickers and shirts available for purchase, too. Stand with us against the dark. Back the game now and get it for earlybird pricing!  That's not everything, though. Are you curious about the monsters in our game? Where do they come from, how can they be avoided or killed? Join us for Giles Tenderworth's Monsters in the Dark , a series of...
