This baby needs your help. Also, he is the key master. You, in turn, are the gate keeper.
Let us read from the Enchanted Book of Bored James;
And, lo, the people rejoiced when they were given good games. And, lo, the people rejoiced further when such games were given freely. And, lo, the people rejoiced even still more when they participated in the evolution and design process of the game.
Thus it was written in the EBoBJ and thus it shall come to pass.
To take things from the rather esoteric realm of language that the Enchanted Book is written in to more common parlance, we’re going to be releasing a series of games through this blog in a series we like to call, Let There be Games! We are currently working on a small handful of Let There be Games! projects, all of which will be released here for free. Or will they?
Yes, they will.
The goal of this project isn’t just to get more games into the hands of greedy gamers, though perhaps that reason alone is compelling enough. No, we at Enchanted Beard Press really enjoy developing games. Almost as much as we enjoy playing them! We can’t give a full release to every game we dream up, however, but we didn’t like the idea of just tossing out interesting ideas either. Furthermore we wanted to expand our little circle of game development beyond a two man job. Thus the goal of Let There be Games! is twofold; 1.) to get games out of our heads and onto your tables, and 2.) to include you, fair reader, in the game development process.
“How?” you might ask aloud to no one in particular. I’ll tell you.
By playing the game and giving us feedback through the blog. While our intention is to play test every game we release through Let There be Games! at least once to work out the worst of the kinks, the game will be in a very early stage of development. These games will get maybe one to two weeks of our attention while we develop it into a little seed and egg but only through you can that fetus of a game gestate into a gibbering toothless babe. We’ll be a part of the discourse, of course, as that’s the only recourse for the full realization of our little darlings but we want to let you, the loyal Beardheads, get in there and lead the participation in the miracle of game-birthing. So, as always fair readers, keep an eye out here in the coming weeks. Your game midwifery skills are required.
