2015-12-22 00:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Here's a progress report on what's coming.
A raw game design podcast episode is in the works. It will cover some things in Codex as well as Fantasy Strike (the fighting game).
All the Codex early access cards have shipped!<...
Hey I made this page about Fantasy Strike, the fighting game. It's so if we need to link to something that shows it even exists, we have a handy page.

Learn more about Codex, if you haven't played it before. :)
2015-08-28 23:26:21 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings!
I'm Aphotix, and Sirlin has requested that I reach out to his patrons to help make Codex the most balanced and interesting card game that it can possibly be. I will be spending time on this patreon as well as other commu...

2015-07-21 22:20:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, we are making progress on the fighting game. I'm now paying a lot more than the total amount from this patreon JUST for one programmer's work on it, and that doesn't include the cost of character models I'm also paying for, or animation...
2015-06-19 20:27:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I mentioned an idea for a simple fighting game several months ago, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/1513632

Yomi just released on Steam! It's 34% off for the launch sale right now too. So glad this is finally available. http://store.steampowered.com/app/287960/
2015-05-08 21:21:21 +0000 UTC View PostQuick update: Yomi Valerie and Gloria physical decks are now available. Yomi on Steam coming in a week or so (you guys helped a lot in finding bugs so it was a lot to fix!). Fantasy Strike Expo standard registration ends tomorrow. I've been working s...
2015-05-01 02:18:03 +0000 UTC View PostHere's my update for everyone. The Pandante & Flash Duel kickstarter is now complete. I've also done most of what's needed for setting up manufacturing. Unfortunately I'm sick with a cold right now. I can't get podcast recording going when my vo...

This episode is about the development of Flash Duel. A few system changes really fixed the game up nicely, so you can hear what went into that. There's also an anecdote about the trickiest thing to balance. Then garcia1000 and I discuss how to prepa...

Please come to Fantasy Strike Expo this June in San Francisco. And sign up now. Play all my games, including Codex and Flowchart, and generally have a great time.
2015-04-01 22:36:44 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone. I haven't had much time for anything other than the Pandante kickstarter. It's still not funded, so if you can get some friends to back it, that would be a great help. I have a bunch of stuff in the works for you all though. We have a p...

We discuss the drama created by stories that pose moral questions. Stories set outside the law make us think even more about these questions, so that could explain why so many popular stories have settings that take us outside of our familiar system ...

So it looks like we'll have Fantasy Strike Expo this June again, in San Francisco. The last two went really well and were extremely fun. It's a mix of a tournaments, casual play of unreleased / beta stuff (or released stuff too), and just hanging out...

We talk about sequels to movies and games in this episode. There's several kinds of sequels, so we go over the different purposes of various sequels first. In the end, we get sequels of highly replayable games, such as Street Fighter or Puzzle Strike...
2015-02-03 00:34:23 +0000 UTC View PostWe discuss the possibility of making a minimal fighting game. The design idea to create a game that's simpler than regular fighting games, but more complex than Divekick. I have access to music and 3D models to make it, though I'd still need programm...
