There will me more to come here soon! Yesterday I worked on cutting out pieces from cardstock to use as a prototype for the game so that we can start testing it. Hopefully soon we will be able to test out this game and also the game prototype that my brother has been working on.

Started work on a new game...
The Game Crafter is having a contest to design games using any of the vehicle pawns that they have available on the site. Even though I have been starting to design some of my other game ideas, I have put them and work on the Cosmic Odyssey expansions on hold for the moment. I've been kicking around an idea with my brother the last week or so and have started working on the game for the vehicle contest. I don't want to give too much away but here is a little teaser pick of one of the card backs that I threw together this afternoon.

Waiting for the last Prototype
So while I've been waiting for the last prototype copy of Cosmic Odyssey to arrive, I've been working on doing the last small touch ups to the cards on the first expansion. I also have cards to add to the set so I've been creating a few new cards as well. I've gotten about halfway through the cards and thought I would post a couple more pictures of new cards.
This first picture is of a new type of celestial object getting added in the expansion. Comets! The second card is one of the new missions that has a quite larger bonus if the players are currently at a comet. There are only a few comets so these missions shouldn't be overpowered with this amount of bonus. In testing we've only had a couple times when somebody has been able to play one of these missions at a comet.

For the last few new cards I have some modeling work to do, so I expect it will take me a few days of spare time working on that to get those done. I've also been slowly finallizing the card lists for the next few expansions. I know, maybe I am making too many expansions. I have tons of ideas though, and even if the base game does ok and sells some copies, I don't really expect people to buy every/any expansion. The base game itself is very complete and very fun just on it's own. So far the expansions just add new things and some new mechanics.
My last test copy should be arriving soon, It shipped yesterday. So sometime early next week I'll be clicking the "Publish" button out on The Game Crafter and my game will be available for sale!

Wow, where has the time gone?
The last post I made was long overdue, so I'm not even sure what this post is. :) I know it's been a long time, and I guess I just needed a break from working on creative things for a while. I've actually been working on Cosmic Odyssey off and on as I have time again the last month and a half or so. I am almost ready to publish it on www.thegamecrafter.com and am just waiting for the final test copy to arrive so I can get some action shots of the game being played.
The great thing is The Game Crafter site just went through an upgrade and is absolutely amazing now. If you look to the right, the logo is also now a link to our games on The Game Crafter. It's sparse at the moment (meaning there is nothing there, haha) but hopefully within the week Cosmic Odyssey will show up. I am also working on a couple of new games and hope to start revealing some stuff from them here shortly.
The last thing I'll post here is one of the two new cards from Cosmic Odyssey. When The Game Crafter site updated one of the changes was going from 16 cards per sheet to 18, so I had to go up from 160 cards to 162. The sheets are less expensive to print now and even with going up 2 cards, I am going down a printed sheet. Which has helped bring the cost of the game down. Anyways, here is one of the new cards I created. This is how the final version of the cards are going to look (I know there isn't much difference :) )
