Hello friends,
This summer has hindered progress on projects for various reasons (while some of them being very dark and depressing ones, very Kingdom Death Hunt Event like).
However, now this newest project has made significant progress during the last weeks. I have been diligently working on the upcoming Hobo's Nightmare Trophy Book™ almost daily basis to make my ambitious visions to life.
Reworked ideas
While the very early prototype wasn't as popular as I had hoped, I still wanted to create a product that I would enjoy using. I am grateful to everyone who supported my early ideas and trusted the process. (Thank you guys!!)
Instead of simply completing the early version with basic ideas and limited content, I desired more. Well... much more. I wanted this book to be an experience never-before-seen.
It was quite challenging with limited resources, I must admit, as I don't do this stuff for quick money (although some may perceive it that way). Developing new, innovative ideas demands weeks of effort that is off from other works, and requires financial investment for even prototyping.
Despite the hurdles, I was prepared to push my limits. Hell, it felt like using this book, to work for achieving a trophy!
My main goal is to ensure that every product I create is truly exceptional. Therefore, I chose to invest time in starting afresh. I scattered all my ideas, notes, drafts, and prototypes across tables (and even walls!) and spent days rethinking and redesigning everything from scratch.
And now I love it!
Nearly Double the Content Than Initially Intended
While this book was initially planned to include fewer than a hundred trophies and up to four game cards, it didn't feel sufficient. Therefore, I persisted in my efforts, addressed some issues, and came up with new ideas to enhance its quality to the fullest extent.
And now the book is sooo awesome that I can't wait to get it to your hands!
I hope everyone will be as excited to hunt the trophies as I've been during the playtesting. This book is great for either solo or group play.
BGH Legendary Trophy Hunters List! (A Super-Cool Online Feature!)
What's the point of collecting all those trophies if you can't show them off to anyone?
For this reason, we will create the Legendary Trophy Hunters List page at a later point. Anyone who owns the Trophy Book may send us a proof of their achievements and have their name included on the list. You'll find the instructions in the book.
Do you think you can make it to the Top 3?
Small Tweaks Left
The book has now reached its final form, but I still want to make some tweaks here and there to ensure the best outcome possible. That's why I had to delay the fulfillment estimation a bit more. I apologize for this.
But I'm sure you'll like it more when I'm happy with it myself, than something that is rushed and flawed.
