Hello Everyone,
This is my first post, but I have been playing on iso for quite a while and I follow this board thoroughly. As far as I know, most people in this community are highly into board games and not only dominion alone. Also, from what I read in the posts, there seem to be many people with various abilities, being it graphic design skills, maths, programming and much more. Some of these people put a lot of effort into writing extensive articles, designing AIs, fan card extensions and much more. Shortly, I see a lot of talent around and also I see a lot of dedication.
Since I see a lot of precious time of precious people used for iso-goko-discussion, I am trying to propose a more productive possibility to invest your dedication into.
What do you think about starting to design a game by the community, for the community? From scratch. It might have some dominion relation or not... Certainly I am not talking about a rip off to allow for a second iso as an answer to Goko whatever....
My question to the community is: Who would like to have such a game developed? What would you expect? What should it look like? Are there People who would like to contribute?
Here I am giving just some thoughts:
- Might be a game which can be printed out
- Might be implemented for online play (this may be quite far away though)
- Can be playable through this forum asynchronously?
- Uses things everyone has at home or finds in other game boxes...
- Can be the result of a Game Design contest within the forum
...
Any suggestions are appreciated. When the brainstorming is over, we can try to give the thing a direction.
btw. I dont know if this can lead to a very good result... but it can certainly be fun.
