Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry.

This weekend, I'll be at the cozy Zuiderspel convention, in Veldhoven. You can find me at booth 1.24 with World Stitchers and Phanerozoic. Come try my games just days before the Kickstarter launch.

Just ONE week to go till the Kickstarter launch!

Lets just say their closet-skeletons would probably all be white, cis, and made with generative AI...

Nice! I wish I could still enjoy it, but it's just like Harry Potter for me.

First stretch goal: Artist bonus!
With the rise of AI, artists are having a harder time than before. So I think it would be nice to show a bit of extra appreciation to the artists that add so much to the games we love.
So, if my Kickstarter funds in 48 hours, I'll give a cash bonus to the artists.

In Phanerozoic, you mutate animals to evolve them into new species. This can be done realistically, like winged dinosaurs evolving into giant prehistoric birds, that eventually evolved into modern day crows.

Alternatively, crows could have evolved from inventive, flying platypuses...

Only 2 weeks to go before the launch of the Kickstarter campaign!
And we're getting very close to 1000 followers on the campaign page. Exciting!

Most of my post lately have been about Phanerozoic, but let's not forget that World Stitchers is also part of my upcoming Kickstarter!

Use trapezoid-shaped tiles to create a world, and collect the energy that springs forth. It also comes with several modules to add new gameplay elements.

The second one.
I'm assuming all cards are face-up, so taking 1 card means 1 card chosen by the player with the fewest cards, not taking 1 randomly selected card.
