I have to laugh right now.
I’ve been home from work for… oh, about an hour. I’m working on a new game called Survival: Geese. Yes, you read that correctly.
This is day 5 of design. The rules are done, except for final play testing. It’s the board and packaging I am… well… you’ll see.
If you’ve seen Survival: Heaps or Survival: Chili, then you know my drawing skills aren’t, say, even the worms under Jana’s sneakers. That’s okay. When you are putting together survivalist games, I don’t think neatness counts. Or, perhaps, straight lines or perspectives.
This game came to me one morning as I was waking. It hits me like that, sometimes. Okay, most times. I know. The whole fireworks goin’ off sort of thing.
I have the movie Aristocats going through my head. The part where the geese, and kittens, are walking down a dirt trail. If you have no idea what I am talking about, here’s the clip. It’s the music that goes with the high step that is on auto-loop. In my mind. And it’s not making it any easier to draw. I’m laughing too much.
I don’t have too many more images to complete. About six. But I’ve had to redo the geese several times. When I first had a concept for the game package, it was to have three geese sort of in a Charlie’s Angels pose. And now, I have the Goose Butt High Step Swing added to it.
Oh, my.
I really worry about myself sometimes…
