Christos has made a much better, sharper looking game board with clearer features which will make the game easier to play.
The game board size has also been carefully chosen to fit the game box and rulebook size, allowing all the components to fit just right in the box and avoid having a bigger box than necessary. This saves cost and weight, which is part allowing me to lower the cost to supporters!
I will be getting a prototype print of this made, players can soon try it out in demo games for themselves!
]]>It’s not too late to share your thoughts if you’ve missed the previous surveys. If you have any thoughts of minor changes for improving the Nightlancers this survey gives you a last chance!
Create your own user feedback survey ]]>Which design do you think suits him best?
From past survey results, only the Engineer and Veteran (yellow and green) have been suggested for revisions. Everyone so far is happy with the Weaponsmith and Bombshell. Do you agree?
Create your own user feedback survey ]]>I’ll be demoing Nightlancer and I’ll have my other prototypes with me as well! Come along from 31st May to 2nd June to try them out1
]]>Do you think any of the other Nightlancers still need to be changed?
The Bombshell, Engineer, Guard, Veteran and Weaponsmith could also be lined up for revision if there is enough interest. The survey below has a place to fill in your thoughts on any other character changes you would like to see.
Create your own user feedback survey ]]>This would have two advantages.
- It would make the game cheaper, so it would be less at stake for people who are thinking about supporting Nightlancer when I relaunch on Kickstarter.
- It would allow me to reduce the funding target for the Kickstarter campaign itself, making the goal easier to reach.
In the Kickstarter campaign the funding target was £17,500, with £45 as the cost (including P&P) to buy the game itself.
I’m confident I can remove and replace some components without worsening the gameplay. This involves taking out 45 playing cards, and replacing the game board with a set of mats. This would result in the cost reducing to no more than £40 with a funding target of no more than £15000.
There are some more components that I could remove, potentially removing the cost to only £35 with a funding target of £12000. I’m not as confident that this will have no adverse effect on the game, so I will putting this to test to explore whether it’s a viable change.
There is also the possibility of a Print On Demand version of Nightlancer – but obviously this would not come cheap! Depending on the amount of components included I could offer this for between £50 and £70. To offset this, I would offer a FREE copy of the final production version of the game when it is funded successfully!
What do you think?
Create your own user feedback survey ]]>I’ll be sending out prototypes soon to eager playtesters, if you’re interested in trying out prototypes from Adversity Games such as Nightlancer, Fixer or Kickboxer get in touch.
]]>It’s very bare bones at the moment – just a short entry for the Nightlancer and Fixer games and a front page. I’ve been working on background material for Nightlancer for almost as long as I’ve been working on the game and I will start gradually adding it all to the wiki.
Feedback and additional content
A huge advantage of this approach is it also opens up the Nightlancer world to input from others. If you have comments or feedback about a page, or even additional content, you can take part too!
]]>Do you agree that the third design is best? You can answer in this survey.
