Game design is not an arcane art, anyone can do it. This is what gaming should be. The indies and the DIYers are really the true spirit of gaming. Look up old names like Featherstone, Bath, Hyde, Conliff, Morschauser, not only did they write rules, they wrote about how to make your own rules. Here on YT the British Pathe' series has several old newsreels on people doing exactly what is being done in this video. This stuff needs to be where people go, 40k is not accessible, one box and a few quickly jotted notes to agreed upon parameters and you have a game. #accessingaming

Hear hear! This was my early gamer life, English magazines with one-shot/scenario rules in each issue that my mates and I would hack to let us play a different way. Cardboard counters and hand-written rules of our own devising - gamers free and in control of our own experience. I slipped out of that life for a couple of decades, lured by the pretty models and glossy propaganda and product catalogue James Workshop dangled before me - but I'm returning to my game-punk roots now, rediscovering the joys of making stuff with my hands and what passes for my brain. Long live open-source, support the indies, and just make your own stuff!

After watching this, your passion for coming up with "simple" table top games that can work from a single box of models is really inspiring me to 1. Try the game out with some of my Kroot Kill Team Models. Maybe something like a training regime for them during their downtime. 2. You've really inspired my to actually look at my models in a new light and to try and build some games with a more limited material set! Thanks for the great vid, new subscriber right there

I also started developing my own battle royale themed game using these miniatures. Started on it a few weeks ago. Really cool to see what youve made. My game is simpler, more board game style than skirmish game. My game features item pickups, so I assembled the miniatures without any weapons. Some of them look good, but others have odd posing where its obvious that a hand is supposed to be holding a weapon. Originally I wanted to magnetize weapon arms, but it ended up being more effort than it was worth at that small size.
@malevminipainting4453 16 күн бұрын
That's awesome my friend, it says something about this kit that its' inspiring in such a similar way. I feel it though, the trade off for painting miniatures with the weapons attached is that you have to paint more! With the expansion weapons for the game now, it's actually a total of 13 models!

@@malevminipainting4453 I'm thinking of making a game like this. I think commercial Wargames are escalating when it comes to cost, amount of work, units and terrain etc. Not every one has the amount of disposable income + free time to paint 90 minis, build a 4x4 foot terrain set and has a friend circle of 6 people for each faction.
@deltapi8859 26 күн бұрын
I the concept is solid. You have to use the terrain and perks strategically to defeat the opponent. Trying to avoid a fair playing ground. But you also have to balance out for the opponent once you get a perk or bonus, maybe some sort of "commando point" or simply having to remain a complete turn on the perk to get it etc.

It's a neat concept, I also liked that you played around 6 vs 6. But the table heavy outside skirmish game kind of demotivated me. He should have made a small board game overworld or space travel like in Faster Than Light (the Indie Game) or in Fallout the BoardGame with the HexGrid, but fights are skirmishes. Thinking about modelling something like this myself.

From the one box concept, my immediate thought was the Wargames Atlantic Foot Knights from the Age of Chivalry range. Something about either a historical melee, which was basically just a crap-ton of knights in an enclosed space duking it out for sport, or something like Dark Souls PVP, where positioning for backstabs, timing of attacks and blocks, dodging, parries, and the like is key. First video I see, and a great first impression.

Yess, it looks SO COOL. Do you think you could make a more 'orange tinted' version of the walls?? I'd love to download and make some of my own with your stuff.

Just watching this, I thought of a few things that could be added for more flavor to the game: The nonplayer convicts could have different stats/rules (like one change or extra rule, two at the most) based on what they are in for (like a hitman being better at shooting, a gang inforcer being better at melee, a drug addict thats had his brain fried by whatever superdrug is around having no sense of selfpresurvation, and some guy in for tax fraud illsuited for combat) A five level campain that goes from minimium security (tax fraud type guys) to supermax (super dangerous and capiable opponits) in a bid for your freedom (rolling on different tables for each level) A bit of a lore idea here: not only are your fighting for your freedom, but also your individual identity. All of which was striped from you on incarseration. Name, race, face, all removed, a number is all you are now. You are not even classed as human anymore. I can expand on these ideas more, if interested.

PHIL MY MAN. You're in the zone. You get it. So hyped reading your words, and funnily enough so much of your thoughts align with mine and the first update for the game is dropping tomorrow and has a lot of those features! I wrote a bit about it on my Patreon, it's a free post if you wanna peep. I appreciate the comment, hell yeah expand on them joints

Holy smokes! I've never seen that. It's so sick. That's also hilarious considering the conversation I was having with the CEO of Steve Jackson games this morning!

Great video! This looks like an interesting and easily accessible game. I've been wanting to try war gaming, but the entry cost of Warhammer has always been too high.

Yoo, thank you my friend! You've really inspired me with this comment to make other tokens, that which are labeled as convicts and things so that you can simply play this game with token pieces if that's preferred. No purchasing of miniatures is really a requirement!

haha that sounds like a fun additional room mode, you have max items in the arena (3), but on the roll of a one it was actually a box of mines. Whoops

I appreciate you sticking through it with me my man. I have some ideas on how to include things like that in a less .. uh, we'll say in a less jarring way! ha.

Sorry mate, but 7 minutes in and I think you have missed the point. 1. Any table top game can be exciting if its genre fits your desire for the game. At the moment I am building to enact a battle where Mongols meet US Marines. 2. You seem to be into skirmish combats at the moment on a very small scale. Have you thought of D&D where one on one combats are a thing as adventurers seek fame and fortune. You could get this in the board games that involve figures. 3. You can reduce any combat system to a smaller combat scenario. Playing Dystopian Wars we reduced the combat down to two capital ships where the engagement took place in some shallows. The ultimate manoeuvre pinned one on some rocks leading to crippling damage. The point I am trying to make is there is nothing wrong with being creative. It exercises the mind and introduces new themes to people. But the inferences I was getting from your presentation was that big battles were old hat. If I am wrong my apologies, but I just played in a big game which involved about 30 people in a WW2 Normandy operation. It was fun, fast and resulted in unexpected outcomes. Just saying. Big or small it is the fun of the game that is important.

Cheers my man, I appreciate the thoughtful and insightful comment! I am not sure where I miscommunicated persay, because your comment reads very in support of the things in which I'm talking about. The point that I'm trying to make is also that there is nothing wrong with being creative, and that we can play/make our *own* games however we'd like! You're not wrong though, I do like smaller scale miniatures games. But I like to design miniatures solo games. And that being the case, painting up 50+ miniatures isn't going to help. But I don't have anything *against* other designs or desires, just have a preference for what I personally go for in my solo designs. I'd love to design a mass combat big battle game.

Bloody great video mate! Title drew me in with promises of DIY minimalist design, and you delivered. And just when I'm getting in the groove - "record_needle_scratch.wav" - I find myself in another groove. Dope. Anyway, I love this concept - it poked my brain in just the right way to inspire some ideas of my own. In a world where it feels like we can have anything at the touch of a button, it's healthy to be reminded of just how powerful constraints and limitations can be as a tool for unlocking creative pathways.

Legendary comment my friend, thanks so much! I am really pleased to hear it. Working with the limitations is a form of 'going with the flow' and it can be really rewarding.
