After a little over a year we've finally put Double Up to bed. It started off as a project on a whim in the Summer of 2012. Now after four cons, countless play test sessions, invaluable feedback from friends and gamers, two graphic artists, and countless hours racking our brains trying to make this a fun experience - we're done.
Sure, there is always tweaking and small changes that can be made here and there. As creatives, we're never done working on something unless we actually stop ourselves. That's where we're at with Double Up and we think it's in the right place and at the right time.
Now that everything is done, we're sending the files off to Andrew at Print Play Productions to get copies of it made for the upcoming Con season. We're hoping to set up some pitches of the game, as well as getting the game into the hands of some media types.
As a "teaser" of sorts, below is the back of the box, designed by Danny Devine. Danny also handled the backers and faces of the cards and the rules. He was great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone needing graphic design work.
So what's in the pipeline?
This coming weekend I'll be heading to Columbus to hang out with Matt. We'll be taking the time to talk about the different ideas that we have and which we are going to pursue. Some rapid prototyping will go down, I'm sure, and we'll go from there. We should have a project or two that we'll be happy with and we'll take it from there. While I'm in Columbus, we'll hopefully make a trip to Kingmakers and check out the digs there and play some games.
After that, there is a Who's Yer Con in Febuary which I'll be attending. Hopefully with some prototypes!
Than back in Columbus in March to hang with Doug from Meltdown Games. It'll be good to see him considering I haven't since I left the east coast. And he's a pretty alright guy.
Well, that's that.
Hope you got the GenCon housing you wanted! Twitter was blowing up as it does every year around this time.
