Greetings!

It's update time again, and once more progress has been made. For Cooking Cards, all but one of the images for the front side of the play deck cards are finished. The recipe card deck is being completed while I type these words. I've already seen several of the cards and they look great! All that remains moving forward is to finish the recipe deck, add the final picture to the play deck, create the play mats, and do the box art. I'll be assessing the quality of several print on demand companies over the next few weeks to see which company I will be going with. 

As for the Infinite Runner, it's still a hunk of cardboard with sharpie scribbles. I have however, tuned a few of the rules and added an assortment of content. Nothing overly major, as I've been focusing the majority of my attention on my family and Cooking Cards. Here's a picture of my prototype. What do you think?

Just thought I would give you guys a quick update. 

So I just told my personal Facebook account about LilCon, and suggested that they check out and give feedback on the site, Facebook site and twitter account. It feels weird to open your stuff out to the world, even though that was the whole point in the first place. I know that I can count on a few of my friends to actually check out all three and leave meaningful feedback, and to those few I am grateful.

As for production of Cooking Cards, things are moving along nicely. Gameplay is smooth, and I think that things are ready to go on that front. All that is really left is to do open play testing with strangers to see if the instructions are good enough that my future customers will be able to play the game as intended. I also need to get the artwork completed for the cards, card backs, and play mats.

That's it for now. Still waiting for suggestions for a clever sign off,
Dave

Greetings and Salutations,

Well this is the official first post to the Lilcon Blog. I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings. This entire process has been strange for me, I always knew I would make games, I just never expected that my first official product would be a competitive card game. In my youth I always had such big ideas for fantastic RPGs, massive things that I now realize that I don't have the budget for (yet). Although strange, it is exciting. I can't wait to hold the first production quality version of Cooking Cards in my hand, to shuffle through and then decimate a group of play testers.

I need to publicly thank my loving and supportive wife Heather, as without her none of this would have happened. She is everything to me. Thank you for putting up with my massive indifference, my grumpy days, and all my other crap. You're fantastic. You do realize now however, that when I play video games I'm "checking out the competition"  right?

If you guys want to hear me ramble about something that actually interests you, leave a comment below or use the contact us form. I will try to respond personally to each correspondence we get here at Lilcon as quickly as possible.

So I can't seem to think of something clever to say as a sign off. Why don't you guys send your suggestions through the contact us form.


For now a simple... 


Thanks,
Dave
