Making my own game, a pulp robot battle skirmish game.

Here are the models of the two robots I have so far.

You build the robots out of parts, legs, body, and 2-4 pieces of equiptment.

These two robots are the same thing in the rules, just one is from the Earth Robot Faction and one from the Mars Robot Faction.

They are both Medium bodied robots with wheels, a deathray, sensors, and missiles.

Still WIP.















I am looking at model feedback now.

Any suggestions?

Assuming they are identical in the rules, and there is a group of players, would there be only one faction used or do you think both are appealing enough there would be a mix?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739632/9604845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739632/9604845.page GMT
We could always use more games. Just be receptive to feedback regarding the rules. Run it at a bunch of conventions - it's a good way to test it outside of your circle of friends. Once you start writing games you'll get hooked...and very judgmental ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739632/9604880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739632/9604880.page GMT
A successful board game needs that initial hook to draw in customers, but also not the same thing every time to make them want to keep playing. Start with 2-4 basic robot chassis, a selection of arms and legs and accessories, and a 2-sided cardboard arena. Try Kickstarter or a similar program to gauge interest and generate buzz. Create your product, and expand with new robots and parts later. And don't be discouraged by failure. Board games and miniatures have blown up massively in the last few years so it's hard to get your foot in the door.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739632/9605203.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739632/9605203.page GMT I am thinking I'll use magnets.

Thanks
