Hey, friends, I've just uploaded an update to my one-card sporting #microgame DESTRUCTO-BALL!

I've rewritten some of the game text and made some tweaks to the card art to improve the learning experience and play experience for both rookie and veteran players alike.

Also, I added flavour text to the game card, so now you can play as three lizards in a trench coat! ⚽🦎🦎🦎

You can check out the devlog on itchio at the link below.

Happy sporting! 😊

There's so much craziness in this world, so just go and have a break with a handful of pocket-sized games πŸ’–

#itchio #small #portable #pocket #microgame #smallgame #cardgame #rpg #trpg #ttrpg #bundle #bundleofjoy

Link to the bundle on itchio: itch.io/b/1941/pocket-ttrpgs

A close-up photo of a man in a suit putting something in his pocket, but the words "pocket RPGs" is obscuring the object so all we have left is our imagination.

What TTRPG should I work on first?
Dungeon Masters - you play the hench things of dead or missing archmage Zenopus, attempting to keep the dungeon in order and stay alive.
Urban Gods - set in 1990s you're newly awoken small gods of the city trying to protect yourselves from domineering patriarchs called The Green.
Leaving Royston Vasey - 20 somethings find themselves stranded in the town of Royston Vasey when their camper van breaks down. Nobody wants them to ever leave. #rpg #indie #microgame

It's funny, since posting an old project on itch, other folks are checking out the Book of Common Games, which I wrote as my MFA thesis. I think all this OGL stuff has made me wistful my games that wasn't founded on adventure fantasy. #microgame #ttrpg

Ok I stayed up later than I meant to πŸ˜… but look, I released my stealth-lite cheese-chasing #microgame!

Say hello to Mischief! 😊

Wrangle sneaky mice as Ol' Lucy, resident (and grumpy) house cat. Or steal cheese as those very same mice! Fun for the whole #Mischief

Fancy a printable card with character tokens and cubes of cheese? Well, that's what I made for today's #gamedesigndaily!

This little stealth-lite cheese-chase is coming along quite nicely, I think! 😊

#Mischief #microgame #boardgames #gamedevelopment #gamedev

A card with a grid of 6 character tokens on its top half, and a grid of 24 cheese tokens on the bottom half. Text in the middle directs the viewer to "character tokens [above]" and "cubes of cheese [below]". The character tokens consist of one cat and five mouse tokens. The cat token is blue, while the mouse tokens, and cubes of cheese, are all yellow.

I've been keeping up with #dungeon23 in my own way by doing some game design daily, under the #gamedesigndaily tag! πŸ’–

I posted on the bird app for my first two days, but I'll be keeping up here more closely as best as I can from today. I'll share those updates shortly, but here's today's entry!

It's an icon set I made for my stealth-lite cheese-chase #microgame, #Mischief! #boardgames don't need more than 4 cards, tokens, and cheese, right?

I'm wrapping up my update to the pocket-sized map cards of my #MiniMapHelper for #dungeon23, and I'd love your help! πŸ’– So far, it seems dot grids are most popular (from the results here and on other socials I've asked).

What kind of grid would you like to see on the back of these note cards?

Hey, friends! BIG NEWSβ€”I've just released two new microgames: Downtime and TECH-WRECK INC.! 🀩

They started as prototypes, and I've polished & released them as full microgames. I'm super proud of them, and thankful to all who helped and encouraged me! 😊

Links below. πŸ’–

#ttrpg #rpg #OneCardGame #gamedev #microgame

Two cards sit on top of a pentagonal background pattern. Text headings say "Two new microgames!" and "by aarongoss.itch.io". The first card has yellow-and-black hazard stripes, and text of the game with the heading "TECH-WRECK INC." The second card has a gradient colour of a sunset, and text of the game with the heading "Downtime".
