Core game concepts introduced

Along side getting the Chip Shop website online (needing a lot more work of course!) I have started defining the core game concepts, i.e. what you are aiming to do in the the game and what components will help you achieve this. I have also spent some time trawling through 80s US computer history pulling out products, personalities and events that will form the game cards.

Read more on the Chip Shop website.

Next up:

  • Sketching drafts of some of the components
  • Researching game creation concepts and communities
  • Creating cards
  • Improving website and designs
  • Starting to contact people from 80s computer history who might like to appear in the game.
