Mutatant Sheep and other exciting things.
Whoa, I’ve been a bad blogger. It’s been over two months since I updated this thing. Time to get back in the swing of things then.
So after finishing the monster of all paintings, creativly, I was a bit drained. So I spent about a month not really doing anything.. just recharging the old batteries. Then via Raph Koster’sblog I heard of something super exciting!
A couple guys had gotten together and done a Print On Demand website.. where you can print Games!
Consequently my brain went into hyperdrive and threatened to explode. I glanced at one of my little doodles at work ( a gigantic 3 eyed sheep stomping around a landscape) and my next pet project was born.
So here I am, a little over a month later, over 50% of the way there with the final art (drawing and painting in photoshop 125 sheep is a lot of work, it turns out.) And the cards are 90% of the way defined. The immediate goal is to have all the cards put in their final state by next Monday, and then order a playtest set, for tweaking the numbers and mechanics while I wrap up the art.
Here's some of the cards
Current statistics:
- Total Cards: 125
- Cards Drawn: 64
- Cards Painted: 44
- Cards Text Written: 75

Hey. Nice job. I will actually be very tempted to buy these, and let all my friends know about them.
They look pretty sweet! Have you finished BSDDoD?

Oh and one more thing, I have a great idea for a board game on their site.
“Road Rage”

Hey, thanks! BSDDoD! is still a work in progress. I ran into a couple brick walls in the gameplay that are gonna take reworking a fairly large chunk of the level generation for me to get going again on it. I’m thinking it’s gonna be some time this fall before I can convince myself to do it.

Heh, glad to know it’s still going
Do you think it will be a game with a cost or freeware? Just random curiosity
