Is there anything that was a block for you in finishing the game for this game jam? What obstacles did you encounter but learn from? Let us know!

Hello! My biggest challenge is keeping the mechanics and scale of the solo game short enough to fit on one (front and back) page! Might have to employ some small fonts on the final document :P

The challenge in that is real, honestly a lot of it comes down to layout as I found with the one pager [front only!] TTRPGs I designed for some charity livestreams. But I've found its great for forcing you to get to the heart of how to play the game AND how to best communicate that with a potential player.

You're exactly right! It definitely is an exercise in writing concisely! Honestly, InDesign has been a blessing in helping to format the game neatly onto two pages .

Making it look nice is definitely the greater challenge for me ^^ trying to find a balance between cute and tacky atm.

I totally get that, I’m definitely a function over form. What I’ve found most helpful is to get back from those who I trust and that know about form. Thankfully for me that’s tagging my fiancé in to see how much to hurts her to look at it. 😅

Mine was finding affordable stock art :) super heroes is a less popular genre so I had to do some searching.
