Oh Dear!
Slight disappointment really. You may remember that I was saying that a friend of mine was going to take Marooned to a game convention for me, well unfortunately he isn't going now and therefore neither is marooned :-(.
I was looking forward to sending it off with a pat on it's bum and a bag of tuppenny chews in its hand, but that's how it is I'm afraid. I will look into taking it myself to a Con in the future but at the moment I have no idea where or when that might be.
Not got much further with things at the moment as the non game world has impinged a little on the development, I've got a job in the next week that has distracted me a little... very interesting stuff which I will tell you more about a little later on.. there is a need for secrecy but I promise it will be worth the wait!
In other news.... I've been playing around with an idea for another game... Based around the reanimation of dead tissue this has about as much in common with Mary Shelly's Frankenstein as... well... most of the Frankenstein films ever produced by Hollywood! In my game (Tentatively Titled "The Spark of Life!" as "It's alive!" has already been taken) each player takes the part of a Mad Scientist attempting to stitch together and reanimate a dead body. There is a storm coming and once it hits then the process of reanimation must begin! MWAH HA HA HA HA! etc.
It's a card and dice game and I'm hoping to do it initially as a print and play thing as a beta version and then perhaps as a print on demand game from one of the online retailers. At the moment the art is pretty basic (as done by me with some marker pens and very little artistic talent) but that might change too!
So all in all both disappointing and exciting in equal measure... sure I would have liked Marooned to have swanned off to Q-con, then be whisked away by a wonderful producer and be in print within the year, but the chances of that happening were always very remote as it was. Here's to the next chance.
