State of the Game: A New Vision

This project has been underway now for 2 years. I’ve fiddled around with a lot of different ideas about the best way to approach it. But, over the last 3 months, things are becoming clear.

Stage 1: Turning the Physical Card Game Into a Digital Card Game

Eight years ago next month, I developed a physical card game entitled The Write Words that was designed to help even the non-writer quickly and easily generate story prompts either as an individual or by playing with a group. I’ve now got updated graphics and will soon have the money to actually invest in legally protecting that card game so that I can start promoting it in the store.

Thinking Through Systems

The original vision for the project was outlined almost a year ago...
