Alright, I’ve been developing games. Personal games at first but the more I think of it they are great for learning almost anything. Games are an incredible learning tool whether you’re learning about investing, grammar or math. Heck, I use to play educational games on the good ole’ Commodore 128/64.
When making a game I use just a simple piece of paper to draw the game board, some index 3x5 cards and one 6 sided die. The player token can be just about anything while building the mechanics, a penny, a plastic miniature of some type or a cork. You can always upgrade the game later, the important thing is to get the mechanics down and keep it simple.
Building a game based on the 3% Man book by Corey Wayne, it’s still in the development stage but so far so good. I just have to work out a few game holes with it and I’ll be able to make it playable. I’ll keep you all updated!
