Publishing a board game is a complex undertaking that requires various steps of work from a variety of parties. First and foremost is the concept, the idea for the game. A game can be inspired by a certain theme, for example, or there is an exciting mechanic around which the game world is then built. Then comes the game design. This is where mechanisms are designed, rules of the game are invented, and the question is answered, “What kind of game is this supposed to be?” The next step is testing. The previously created concepts and designs are shared with external test players and feedback is gathered. The exciting question to answer is: “Is the game fun?” After the feedback from the testing has been incorporated, the editing follows. Here the rules of the game are discussed and reviewed, components are defined and the texts for the game material are written. In the following step, all material is graphically designed, icons are created and the layout of cards, rulebook, etc. is implemented. As soon as all the game components have been designed and checked, they will go into production and then be shipped, either directly to the crowdfunding supporters or to retailers.
EOS – Island of Angels
Release end of 2022
EOS – Island of Angels is currently being edited and the graphic design is almost complete. Right now, an American editor is reviewing the English version’s punch boards so that the game won’t contain any translation errors or unclear wording later on.
