Sponsored!

Hey all, I have great news! Creative Wargaming is now officially sponsored by Noble Knight Games! Use the site address above or the link here: nobleknight.com. I have to say, everyone at Noble Knight Games was really nice about this whole deal and I look forward to a year of having that banner up. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Having looked over their site, I strongly encourage you to check it out. "Where out-of-print is available again" is their motto and they certainly stick to it! I've seen many iconic wargames and miniatures games, new and old, on the site. In fact, they may carry games that no other store does!

Busy Life

Okay, I've been pretty busy lately, really I have! Between working on my game and my project for my county fair, it's been tough to think about blogging. Anyway, I have almost half of the unit stat cards finished and the unit templates are done. So, when I finish the stat cards, I'll move on to the most daunting part of the game: The rules!

Test Builds Completed!

Okay, well, I got the test-builds completed a little quicker than I had expected and they actually look pretty good! However, I do have a few adjustments and fill-ins that need to be done. Anyway, here is a picture of the so far nameless human defense force. Personally, I have very little work to do on them, I simply would like to remove the small cannons. They're just too small to look good on the miniature!

               

Next, we have a picture of the heavily bug-based alien invaders. Their goal is basically to devour our world. Nice creatures, huh? These bugs have been the troublemakers for me, mainly because I can't draw organic creatures. After a few touch-ups, though, I think they'll look great!

               

Finally, I created a little scene to simulate a skirmish. Caption: A small human defense strike force meets an angry bug patrol during their attack.

               

Another Milestone

Well, my busy week over, I was delighted to see that Creative Wargaming had reached 300 views! This was my recently set views goal for July, so it pleases me to have reached it. I thank all of my viewers for this accomplishment and I hope that many viewers will begin to follow Creative Wargaming. Also, I've begun to test-build my units for my game, so I should get some pictures up in the first half of this week.

Solid Game Progress!

Okay, well, I've been working vigorously over the weekend on my game and so far I've completed a Stage 1 design for the main units. Now, I should be able to test-build these units during the week, but I will be rather busy, so it will be hard to blog about them. As a heads-up, this may be my last post for the week, because of my busy week ahead.

Game Progress

Okay, so I've completed the preliminary designs for the units; although they don't look that great, I think after a little clean-up in GIMP they'll look just fine.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to decide if I should simply sell the game or if it would be better to use Kickstarter to fund it.

Don't Get Too Excited...

Hey! It's Independence day and I can't think of a better day to announce this: I've started the design process of a game! Now, this game has been floating around in my head for a while, but I've decided to bring it into the light and look it over. However, the problem with all of my games (and I mean ALL of my games!) is that about halfway through, I tire of the project and quit. I'm going to try to stay focused by using this blog as motivation. Updates of the game will be posted over time.

P.R.I. Hexagonal Bases

Remember Battleforce? Well, upon realizing that the standees from Pryde Rock Industries had no bases to play Battleforce with, I decided to construct my own. I made them all one piece, with a folded rectangle in the middle and half of a hexagon on each side. This allows players to easily tell where the standee is facing. In the picture are two of my hand-colored standees from P.R.I.'s Project Phoenix line. I almost think Pryde Rock Industries should feature these bases!
