It’s even more different on mobile if you just turn your phone landscape

New base game box is blue linen texture. It’s nice.

Rulebooks are hard. Mostly happy with our first but I could read it and want to change 100 times in a row.

We are concerned about this. Currently all of our art is done by trusted people we know. But for our next project we expect to hire out and we are only seeking traditional art. 1. We like to buy the originals and 2. A level of security against AI assistance.

Our next game is actually just a fancy handbook for software.

You left off “distributor margins”. When the cost goes up every step along the way expects to add to the price to keep their margin. Even if that’s just the publisher, distributor, and retailer (there could be more or less steps) that can snowball into a big price increase.

Fortunately, we don’t care all that much about making money. As long as it doesn’t cost us money we are happy.

We looked at American manufacturers and we couldn’t even find one that would do a print run small enough for us to consider them. And even if we managed to multiply our print run, we’d be spending multiple times per game to produce them. Was simply not an option for us.
