What a lovely surprise as I was checking my personal emails during the work day (not giving up the day job): I noticed my artist informed he has bandwidth for me! We are now concentrating on counter images to transform them from “test” to “real” graphics. I am pretty sure I have more or less all required counter types identified, so now we need to make sure they all are included.
I requested some small map updates at the same time. This thing is really starting to shape up. Next week I will have the house all to myself and that means… a lot of testing! I want to set up the big what-if scenario and play it through + clean-up the instructions. Too bad it is really hard making test counters at the time, so I’ll have to utilize the learnings from the previous testing round. I also have tons of different versions at the same time on the table – some are cutting edge with the latest parameters printed, and some are like one year old, which is an eternity!
Once I have the first batch of the counter images available, I hope I can have them printed. This is not some local print shop, but the actual manufacturer. I am planning to get good-enough copies of the main components so I can have them tested by various people.
