I have to say there is something about holding the real deal ... it does not matter if its a prototype or not .. I really feel like this is going to happen now!
The point of having a prototype
So now I have a prototype ... now what ? .. well We play test .. the idea is that I need to go through every single card and see how I can improve them .. here are some factors that I'm a looking at .- Layout
- Font size and readability vs background and art
- Spellcheck
- Spellcheck
- Spellcheck (Yes I said it three times)
- Working with rules
- Artwork making sure there is nothing odd about the works
- Do people like the cards
So what I am doing is when I show someone the cards I watch how they look at them ... I also ask if there is anything I could improve because I value their opinion .. Asking for their opinion is not a method of fishing for complements but actually giving them permission to pick them apart.. I have a good friend mike who is well known for telling you how it is ..(He does so with logic and a smile) and is able to do so in a way that is easy to understand .. People like that are the people who you want to give it to ... also teenagers who do the "It sucks" all the time .. because they will find the tinniest flaw and tell you about them ..
Its very easy to get into your own head and assume that the projects are perfect .. I did not want to do that with Invoke .. I want invoke to be the best card game around. To make a card game of high quality I need to make sure that I rase my quality not just assume that I have it.
Ok ... I'm going to employ my favourite lawyer to look at the rules ...(Its ok .. its only going to cost me dishes and foot rubs ... I'm married to her :)
Oh and Invoke the Card game has an official Facebook page!
