Well I did literally nothing yesterday other than mental brainstorming after being taken by surprise by the theme. After trying to formulate a structure to my main idea which was about post traumatic stress disorder, I ended up doing some things I’d already planned for the weekend and playing some board games and drinking.<\/p>\n

Then suddenly I decided to make a board game instead.<\/p>\n

You’re B Movie monsters (parodies of Godzilla, Mothra etc) and you gain points by smashing up buildings in the presence of news crews. You’re in direct competition with other such monsters who have the same goal, and must also deal with the military who get in the way.
\n Luckily I have loads of board game paraphernalia that I’ve never used, so I managed to work out the ruleset before even making anything.<\/p>\n

\"Checkerboard\"
\n Anyway, here’s my first art asset, which is a custom checkerboard for the game. The ruleset is in and though it needs tweaking is fairly effective, so mainly it’s just whipping up art and testing it a bit and then I’m done! Board games are great!<\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2012 9:49 am","title":"Massive change of direction"}
