Hey!
Have been creating a post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe for over five years. There is an animated short film in the works, a novel, and a game. And just started sharing something on the project

Would appreciate any support, guys
Here is a sneak peek ✨
Love

ok no I'm sorry but I'm going to be insane about it for a while-
Look at these pretty renders!!! Damn, we've made it ;O;

(You can read about the game on kickstarter! I'm behind the design here, and art is by @horminum.bsky.social 💜 )

A close-up of the game board for the game Siclen Valley. It has background with a map showing different structures and places built in the beige desert-like area. On it, an interface is visible, with a net of round spaces. On these spaces, round wooden tokens and character standees are placed. On the sides, the different colored dice are also visible.

A close-up of the player tablets for the game Silicon Valley. Two of the tablets are partially in view, showing a complicated system of places for acrylic cubes. The placement of these cubes shows the acquisition of certain upgrades. Wooden tokens showing artwork of different instruments are lying on the side of the tablets. Nearby is a stack of action cards consisting of text and fun illustrations.

A close-up of an element of the board game Silicon Valley. It is a contract card, which is a tarot-sized card showing a character and a request of an object. Behind the character are spaces to place a token of the requested resource. One token showing a mask is already placed on the card. Nearby, a game board lies with resources placed across it.

A close-up of the game board for Siclen Valley. On the front are three cubes: one dark purple and two white. There are also stacks of wooden tokens placed on the board. There are also two character standees made with transparent acrylic bases. One is a tall man with long pinkish-red hair who is smiling at the viewer. The other is a man with blue hair wearing a big, bright orange jacket standing in the wind. These are the characters that players can choose to play as.

5 years of developing our own sci-fi universe. At this point, it is already a real world to us, no doubts

Our game was not selected for Summer Game Fest this year. There are two reasons why:
1. It is a board game
2. We did not apply for the event

Siclen Valley @siclenvalley.bsky.social · Jun 9

Thank you 🙏
We've come through multiple iterations to make sure things are clear not only to us, the guys who have been developing the game for the last 4 years 😅

Siclen Valley @siclenvalley.bsky.social · Jun 9

Playing the game IS NOT optional haha
But the rulebook is astonishing!

Siclen Valley @siclenvalley.bsky.social · Jun 8

Here is my favorite page from the Siclen Valley board game rulebook my team and I have been working on for a while. Love it for two reasons: the design and the winning conditions (obviously, I love to win) 😅

Thank you so much ✨
It is a port-cyberpunk port-apocalyptic society. So, it is 100% accurate haha
