- Getting stuck in the Bangkok metro during rush hour while trying to catch a flight (not recommended)

More impressions from gamescom! And new things I learned:
- It's a lot less stressful when you have somewhat of a plan
- East/West entrance only exists for entering and then disappears
- Cologne kinda beautiful
- Playing long boardgames on the train is not ideal
- I am not able to look angry ò-ó

Two weeks ago we launched the WE ARE Workshops 2025 by Gold Extra with a game ideation intro!
We ended with cats challenging zombies in ping pong tournaments to collect hair balls so I'm counting this as an astounding success ^^

Sooo I recently did a talk at a project management conference about why #gamedev is hard... and I learned that doing projects that are not games is also hard o-o
But it's always really valuable to peek outside my core bubble and do some reality checks ^^"

I also knew I wanted to have heavy asymmetry in the gameplay with different characters and a somewhat strategic layer on top of the dexterity-based core loop. So you basically mix two sets of spells from fantasy archetypes (e.g. Pyromancer and Paladin) which you can mix and match during a session.

At that time games like Catacombs and Flick'em Up were trending (yeah I've been at this prototype for a while) so I borrowed some of the "shooting with even smaller disks" ideas. I have also been playing a lot of Magic at that time so that probably influenced the whole having a deck of spells idea.

I think the core inspiration came from my desire to create something that doesn't need a dedicated board, where your actual table and the things on it become the playing field. So creating a flicking game seemed like a very natural choice!

You start by mixing two sets of spells from different archetypes together, and then battle it out by (more or less) dexterously handling your business directly on the table.

One of my oldest #boardgame prototypes has the working title "Flippin Mages" - it's a flicking dexterity game that pitches two or more players against each other in a spell-slinging, disk-flicking showdown.

I did some paper prototyping for a survivor-like and kinda accidentally created a pretty fun solo #boardgame ._.

It's snowing, we're locked in a remote cabin on the countryside and we're playing the whole Scythe Rise of Fenris campaign - I'd say a pretty good weekend :3
