I DO MY OWN STUNTS Update #2

 WOW!



Only 24 hours have passed and we're over 24 backers of I DO MY OWN STUNTS. We're almost to my half-way goal of 51 backers!

We have backers from as far as Germany and Denmark, which means that we will be shipping the game internationally. It will cost more to get a copy to you if you live overseas, but I'm willing to accommodate international backers!

 
Yesterday, I answered questions about the game, so here is another:

Q: Will you be adding things like props to the game?

I've been thinking long and hard about this. While I love the idea of papercraft cars, walls of fire or broken windows for the meeples to get tossed through, this would end up making I DO MY OWN STUNTS a dexterity game... which isn't what it is.

While I like Dexterity games like Flick 'em Up and Meeple Circus,  I'm much more interested in exploring the dynamics of rolling meeples and creating exciting combinations from them and I feel that dexterity elements will take away from that.

Speaking of rolling meeples, I'm tickled to see backers already thinking about the game. Here's a picture that backer Marcus sent me exploring all the positions a meeple can take! Thanks Marcus!


I DO MY OWN STUNTS now has it's own BGG listing! When I was filling out the form, I had to think about all of the mechanisms that I want in the game. It's a great way to help clarify your vision. As a result, I was able to create a core design loop diagram for the game. 

I think I'm getting close to assembling a playable prototype for the game! Things are moving fast and getting really exciting!

Remember, if you want to back I DO MY OWN STUNTS, please email me at mightybedbug@gmail.com. Also share posts (like this one) about the game! I appreciate it!
