Be the Hero Digital Board Game!
polycounter lvl 7
Hello all!
I have been developing a board game on and off throughout the past half year or so.
The game is inspired by Munchkin and Desperate Gods and I am developing it to be played both physically and virtually (And even a hybrid of the two).
I haven't finished writing the official rules up yet, though I have play tested a great number of times to refine them.
Here are some photos!
A Bit About the Game
It is a fantasy RPG themed game. The current play mode is Last Man Standing, where you essentially try to kill all the other players until only you remain.
There are four classes:
Clock Workers
Shadow Striders
Blood Lusters
Arcanists
Each have their own play style.
There are a few different types of cards.
WILDS
These are monsters you encounter and battle!
B - Before battle do this
L - If you lose battle do this
W - If you win battle do this
ITEMS
Items are obtained as rewards for defeating monsters
Equipment cards are cards that add to your overall strength
Abilites are cards that allow you to take an action you generally wouldn't be able to do! They are used once before discarding.
I have made a 3D board additionally.
And programmed some basic functionality:

There is still some of the card artwork I need to finish doing as well as texturing the 3D board to look like the 2D board.

- You need to use a different font for the text on the board. I've seen that font everywhere, so its becoming ubiquitous.
- You need way more saturation in your color palette. The drawings and concepts are nice, but everything has a dull desaturated look to it that makes it look cheap and uninteresting. On of the more successful board games that just came out is Krosmaster: Arena.

Look at how diverse and interesting the color palette is.
And man that game looks amazing as heck!!
Thanks for pointing out the popular font. I will grab a different font and use that
I really want to revamp all the art with a team of artists to make the whole thing look better. Unfortunately I have no money for that endeavor
