I've updated the print and play for Bread.

#BreadGame

A bunch of Protospiel online testing results!

• Tiny Library Modern Fantasy Unboxing
• Long #ConvictionGame video for round 2 of the Boardgame Workshop Design Context.
• #BreadGame entering development
• I don't know how I feel about #okErosGame but I know I must feel it
• #ButterflyGame is a hot mess but a beautiful one

• Updated reference to be a bit more detailed and to include key words.
• Tundra base given an extra built mill.
• Wetland base given 1 less hand card.
• Front of bases no longer shows reference keywords, and instead shows asymmetric base flavor name.
• Some base names swapped around.

#BreadGame

Significant overhaul in an attempt to make the game more intuitive.

• Card back now has the dating profile with base icons, and the front has some dialogue and match modifiers.
• Cards now have effects that modify the stack.
• Investing has you tucking a card then spending spoons afterwards based on what's showing.
• Patient Prospect changed into something less redundant, but terrible.
• Scoring system tweaked, no longer uses pen and paper.

#okErosGame

• Setup phase a bit more involved, includes slightly more choice, hopefully functions as a tutorial as well.
• Exchange renamed Influence.
• Exert renamed Obsess.
• Oldest player goes first in ties now, so they always have a chance to influence the past and bank on a ripple to take another turn.
• Starting hands now variable, with the Youth starting with 2 and the Elder starting with 6.
• 6 more cards added to deck.

#KnifeBunnyGames
#ButterflyGame

I think this is the first time I've posted about Butterfly here. I'm expanding on a game jam concept for Protospiel.

It's a game where the only one standing in your way is yourself. Specifically your past and future selves.

• Your victory condition is now based on cards you control.
• Actions consume minute tokens instead of cards, which are more of a closed system now.
• Drawing from deck action replaced with a card trading action.

#ButterflyGame

I made a video with playthrough about my 18 card couple's quarrel deck builder, Conviction.

#KnifeBunnyGames
#ConvictionGame

• 12 unique base cards added which specify your starting hand and base cards.
• Cards now have backs associated with each player, to make setup easier but also to telegraph the end of the game.
• Harbinger card simply passes to whoever you give 🔥 to.

Incorporating suggestions from both Matt and Shanti for the card backs which I'm hoping will simplify setup and also make things more aesthetic and maybe make the theme really unsubtle.

Hollandspiele announced they'd be publishing my game!

"Dinosaurs, everybody! We are pleased to announce that we will be publishing VelociRapture by Xoe. Play as dinos playing human games while certain doom hurls toward the earth! Each dino's unique Coping Mechanism prevents them from thinking about their mortality!"

Finally got around to making a sizzle video for Conviction, my couple's quarrel game.

Some small Mosaic Strict games, a #VelociRaptureGame print and play, and some #BreadGame updates.

#KnifeBunnyGames

• Return of mint tin sized base cards. Still mechanically identical.
• Removing the event 🍞. It wasn't serving its purpose.
• Added action names to each of the cards:
🍞 Sustain
🚚 Gather
🏭 Build
🧱 Obstruct
🔥 Consume / Displace

Added "Harbinger" to the Famine card.

Mostly just graphic design changes. Trying to remind people there's an action associated with fire since it is such a situational one.

#BreadGame

Version B02:
• Finished coping mechanisms and micro games that had duplicate placeholders.
• Microgames organized by playable familiar games, more complex games, and then extremely silly "games".

#KnifeBunnyGames
#VelociRaptureGame

I actually really like how F01 is playing so far, but the emergency orders were too expensive and never used to justify their existence. So what if instead of giving players a desperate and risky way to claw back into the game, I gave them the tools to actively take everyone with them.

• Emergency Order cards removed.
• New base 🔥 action added: For each built 🔥 discard any 2 cards. This is not blocked by 🧱.

#KnifeBunnyGames
#BreadGame

Minor updates, taking a break on #OpacityGame and focusing more on #BreadGame and #VelociRaptureGame .

I updated https://knifebunny.com so all my 4 hour game jam entries aren't intermingled with the designs I've been working on for years lol.

#KnifeBunnyGames

Version E was working really well but I had a really wild thought I want to try.

• Base cards turned into micro cards that can be discarded with 🍞.
• Changed all Emergency Order cards into a microcard with 1 🔥, 2🚚, and 2🏭. You start with 2.
• Emergency Order cards can also be discarded with 🍞.
• Win by having no 🔥 in your tableau instead of 1 🍞.
• Tumbleweed icon replaced with a smog ☁️.

Knife Bunny design thoughts after Unpub testing, and also a very small game jam entry!

Realizing I didn't post the February vlog here, oops. Now that I realize I can post these things as unlisted I've decided to start doing that lol.

#KnifeBunnyGames

• Base cards separated from Emergency action cards so the action card is kept in hand.
• Added Obscure emergency action.

#KnifeBunnyGames
#BreadGame

• Base cards have an Emergency Action side which grants 2 extra perma 🔥 and grants a buffed action augmented by having more 🔥.
• 9 different emergency actions made, testing with a duplicate of each.
• Once you flip your base to the emergency side, you cannot flip it back.

I wanted to add a way to stay in the game even if another player severely hinders you. Hopefully it also adds a psychological disincentive to play too aggressively.
