So, as you’ve probably noticed, we’re poking away at the website and talking to backers from Builders! That leaves us sort of at a loss for big moves that we can make right now. We’re still waiting on the Kickstarter money to come through, at which point we’ll be turning on BackerKit and giving more…
It’s a few days later now, but we figured it was time to make the update here as well. We successfully funded our first Kickstarter during one of the busiest October’s I think there’s ever been. It feels good, and we’re excited to keep on keeping on with this! We’ve got all the wonderful backer’s…
Games go through a lot of iterations. Like, a LOT. Each step of the way you’re honing and improving, making it something closer to that oh so perfect vision you’ve got in your head. In light of that, and Builders! being nearly funded, we’re going to take today to talk about this stuff. Version 1:…
I don’t get to just design games for a living. I hope to, in the future, but my day job is in the trades. I show up to my full-time job, put in 8 hours and go home. Before this job, I had one as a labourer. For those who don’t know, that’s a bit…

That’s right! It is party time! Reviewer copies have been sent out into the world. As I type this they might be whooshing across the oceans and around the world. Or, more likely, they’re sitting in the post office. I don’t know how fast these things move. All this means that the Kickstarter is on…
The Good What to say about Gen Con? I had a wonderful experience overall. I was set up next to the designers of Pioneers of Mars all week: two delightful gentlemen from Ottawa who were very accommodating. Their company, plus a slew of friendly players made running games quite the fun experience. On top of…
Wow! WOW! Gen Con was huge. We’re not going to pretend everything was perfect, and we’ve already seen the news from ConTessa. There’s some decisions we’ve got to make as a result of things like that. We’ll let you know as soon as we do some soul searching. In the meantime, we’ve got some huge…
The Broken Things team all came to this project of working together with a bunch of different backgrounds of creative experience. Art, writing, game design, and more. That meant that when we started working together, we knew that there had to be a process. Coordinating a team of people all working on a project means…
