Forums - Website Topics - Another game of mine published. It will be in October 2012 issue of Games Magazine.

I should be getting another game published. I signed the contract, so in the October issue of Games Magazine, I should be getting another game published, 2-5 Skidoo. Info for it is here:

It is a press your luck dice game on half a checkerboard. 

I am likely to probably stop reporting these over time.  I am probably going to get more than just this published down the road.  What I need to do is get work somehow from this, or get a game in a box somewhere that sells well and wins awards.

I do also have Traitor Jenga, but that doesn't count as my own design, just a variant:

If you have Jenga and want to try something devious with it, try this variant.

I forget. Did you make money off the last one? OH..and Congrats!

It will often take months to get paid.  Things aren't as fast as one would want them to be.  But the goal is exposure, not getting money at this point.

Well now that you have two official games under your belt you seem to be getting a lot of exposure! Make it count!

I need to branch out in other areas.  Next job is for me to get paid for things.  Likely to wind down on doing freebie stuff.

Now that you have the experience and the games to back it up you should be able to get paid now.

Thing is that my stuff really has only one outlet now, in North America.  Stuff I have done isn't proprietary enough to go commercial.  There IS the portable device market, which I will be looking into.

I do still have a few things lined up I need to get done though, but I will be looking to step up.  Time to start demanding more.



I edited the subject header, because it is confirmed, and I saw the issue with 2-5 Skidoo in it.

On a side note, I got paid for the other game I did, J, by the magazine.
