Your First Spellbook is almost done! Here’s what’s happening with it.
Last Week
- Layout is complete for Your First Spellbook
- I started final proof for Spellbook
- Final Playtesting wrapped up (except for one question)
- Research for 2027 began! I did a ton of research on other designers, the games they make, the audience they design for – as well as internal research for what has worked for me in the past year, and what hasn’t.
This Week
Spellbook wraps up this week, and I start diving into my 2027 project planning.
- Your First Spellbook 1.0 (printer friendly version) is complete!
- I do some research and testing to expand my graphic design skills, and start to trial some Print on Demand. No promises, but it’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, and I have the time to do it.
- I continue 2027 research. I am learning a lot from other designers in my space!
- I start more concretely planning my 2027 releases. I’m hoping to do a November roadmap announcement, so stay tuned for that!
It is always an incredible feeling to be wrapping up the final major release of the year, and get to look forward with optimism to another year full of fun game design. Thank you for being fans of games!
