    Takeaways from this thread: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/progress-thread-poor-choices-the-game.60997/ 1. Start building an audience immediately. A game's success on kickstarter is largely dependent on the marketing done before the game even launches on kickstarter. 2. Send...

    @sparechange @s.wirat13 With you guys on the ideas. One teeny problem is the covid thing here in the US. Definitely brainstorming free/cheap options but somehow I'll have to get the board to them or online.

    A little ahead of schedule. I've finished creating about 45 quests for the game besides the main quest. I've also finished developing the concept art for the game board. It's not amazing but it should give the artist a clear idea of what I'm looking for. I paid $5 for the software on...

    So much this. You must learn to disassociate price and effort. Pricing becomes more of an exchange of value and potential ROI determines price more than anything imo. Scaling pay to effort is not the route you want to take

    As I come to nearing the end of prototype development, I'm wondering how I can test the product with my market before investing into production of the product. @AllenCrawley did you send some samples to people and ask for their thoughts before launch?

    Hey man! Nice to see another member of FSL here. Great progress so far. Track results as much as possible at the begging. Pump out the portfolio websites as fast as possible. Start looking at businesses that do big numbers per customer. It'll be an easier sell for those owners. Funny enough...

    Great success Just had a friend come over and we play tested the game as a 3 person group. By the end of the session, I had two pages of notes filled with improvements and small tweaks. The coolest part was that some changes we incorporated this morning brought everything together and we were...

    Thursday and Friday were dedicated to moving into my new appartment/office building and catching up on work for clients. Back to developing the game! We play tested the game once and found some major problems from the get go. Couldn't even make it through 5 min of playing haha. Everything feels...

    @s.wirat13 agreed. Since we're going the route of an adventure RPG game with drinking as a mechanic, we're thinking 1-1.5 hrs would be a good gameplay time. Definitely investing into miniatures. They're our biggest cost and many board games simply use 2D cutouts. Our market includes more...

    Why dropshipping is bullshit... (and why you should avoid it).

    HOT! 
    The biggest thing for me, and maybe the OP of that thread could elaborate more, was that I didn't see how branding the product could raise value for the customers. I never thought perceived value was the thing you wanted to tackle for a sustainable business. Could be totally wrong

    Actually had a close friend of mine who dropshipped women's leggings about two or three years ago. Products cost him under $2 and it was selling for like $9.99 + shipping. And shipping is where they get you, it was like another $12 or something like that. Either way, big profit margins. He...

    I think this is where the doubt sets in lol I was designing the board and had no idea where to start. It's like an empty canvas and nothing I do will be perfect. And there will be a lot of time spent in balancing the game / making it more enjoyable with no promises. Still, pushed through...

    Quick update. I've finished enough of the game to play test the game and look for any 'bugs' in the mechanics. If the game plays well, it's just gonna be finishing off the content. Planned with two friends to test this weekend. Short term goals: Play test prototype > finalize material list >...

    Thanks man, I'll shoot you a PM. I did some research on Fiverr and onlinejobs.ph. It's really hard to find an artist who is comfortable with the style I have in mind One girl on Fiverr quoted about $120 per design of character (I have 8). A guy on onlinejobs.ph quoted about $2000 total for...

    Today, we developed more of the game. We created many of the characters and their stats. More importantly, we did some in depth analysis of about 10 similar successful board games and found some flaws and areas of improvement with ours. We're doing another pivot, smaller this time. The board...
