Board Game(2nd Prototype) by Seamedu Game Design batch

Game design takes time, the reasons being that every game has to go thru multiple stages of ideation,  game design which is not about the graphics(that comes later) but the game play and how to make the game concept a playable one. Then comes the UE or User Experience & graphics of the game, where cards, tokens & other elements of the games are created . Finally comes the testing-it is here that the game actually gets made & to be broken again & then remade.

Not wanting to make it sound complex, but that's how it is & this post is a take on the latest stage of the board game that our first game design batch created.

'Egyptian Myth'(you can read more about the 1st prototype of 'Egyptian Myth' on Animation Xpress here) started out as a concept which over the last 8 months has changed to come to a stage( also called prototype) that not only it can be played well, it can also gone thru so many test that we can think of approaching a publisher to license the game.

The 2nd prototype of the 'Egyptian Myth' is done after close to 3months of iterations, it has been tested more than 40 times by players from the age of 7 to the age of 50. All have liked it, enjoyed the concept & the game play, have given valuable suggestions & have ensured that we can be proud of our achievement.

Attached are the pictures of the latest prototype

The game is in the final stages where the Graphics, User Expereince & fine tuning of the game is being conducted. The graphic design of the game is being changed to it final look as this post is being written.

One think that  Seamedu Animation & Arts and the Game Batch are very lucky that  close to 6 industry experts with huge game design experience who have play tested 'Egyptian Myth' .Their expertise and huge amount of inputs made sure that we & the game have become better game analysts & designers.

Once that is done we intend to see it take it further, so next stop will be trying to find someone who can publish this game.

It might be a school project but it definitely is for all those who have played board games & dont mind another concept.

But there is one huge difference, all the games we typically play in India are the games made by international game designers and publishers

that's about to change, dont you think so.
