Theme for my Print and Play game

 Concept statement: Resistance is feudal 

For my print and play game, I have been asked to establish a general theme by my teacher. I may not have said what I was gonna go with in my last post but the general idea was that the game was gonna be about two feudal lords fighting to take over each others keep. This means that the general theme of the PnP game will be medieval. Items like cards, Pawns, and even the manual will all have to fit this theme.  Boarders of the play area would be floral and resemble that of flowers found on medieval paintings. Much of the design would resemble that of period artwork.

Many of the paper pieces like knights, peasants, mercenaries, and other classes would have the same sort of drawing style. With a wealth of artworks from the early, high, and late medieval period, I think it will be easy to find some artwork that will match my ideas. 

As for the board game, I feel as though a more realistic birds eye view should be taken, however I think once the prototype has been completed, that may change to a semi realistic style. 

When it comes down to it my idea has to have a strong theme to unify all elements of the PnP game otherwise I may not have a strong game.

Game Ideas For Final Project

For class we where tasked with creating some quick ideas for our upcoming board game assignment. I spent some time brainstorming and came up with some ideas. Some of the themes I brainstormed where WW1 boardgames, medieval boardgames, card games , and various other ideas.

Of the many ideas that I came up with the idea that I will most likely go with is a game about two feudal lords battling for control of the land. it will probably be a mix of chess, DND, and Stratigo. it will involve things like trap cards which could either be beneficial to one army or harmful. the game would also incorporate dice rolling to determine who won a fight. the game would also include basic strategy planning.  

Upcoming game that I'm excited for

I'm super stoked for the sequel to Dishonored. Since the first one was announced I have been an avid fan of this franchise. I love that the trailer makes us think that we are still Corvo, but then it reveals that we are actually Emily. I'm super excited to be able to play as Emily this game as well as getting to see Corvo again.
