I'm finally at the stage where I'm ready to share my passion project with the outside world.
I've been working for some time on "Nevervale" - a cooperative board game for 1-4 players. An interesting fact is that it was originally intended as a video game, but in digital format it just didn't come together the way I had envisioned. So I transformed the same idea into a board game - and that turned out to be the right decision.
What the game is about
A fantasy world that suffered a great catastrophe called "The Collapse" - dark evil began to spread and take over the world, leaving monsters behind and transforming the land. You are heroes - bearers of the last hope - who use ancient "Harmony Stones" to free the land from the corruption and encroaching evil, fighting monsters and building your village in a safe haven called "Nevervale." The map changes during gameplay and you never know how it will turn out - physical hexagon game tiles that will change through 2 stages: corrupted and pure.
The game will originally be in English, but I hope to also adapt it to Latvian, although there will be terms that are difficult to translate.
The prototype and first version will be made with AI-generated artwork, because commissioning an artist to do it the way I want would be too expensive, since the game will consist of approximately 190 cards and 80 hex game tiles. I hope to collaborate with an artist in the future to create something more special.
Still a lot of work ahead, but I'm excited about the progress. If anyone is interested in following along - I'll gladly share.
