<p><a href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/16441/fantastic-creations-house-of-brass-ce/index.html">&#8220;Fantastic Creations: House of Brass Collector&#8217;s Edition&#8221;</a>, the game I&#8217;ve been working on for a year and eight months is now out! It is a light steampunk Hidden Object Adventure for Bigfish Games. The reviews are great and everyone seems to enjoy the fresh ideas we brought into it. It&#8217;s currently in second place of BigFish&#8217;s Top 10 PC downloads and you can check it out <a href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/16441/fantastic-creations-house-of-brass-ce/index.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>I just closed the box with the &#8220;Sinking&#8221; prototype for testing in the Ludopolis contest. I really enjoyed the process of creating it so far. The players enjoyed it as well so I&#8217;m pitching the game to publishing companies that seem appropriate.</p>
<p>While I was translating its rules I had started taking notes of another idea, this time for a card game. I played around with some ideas for a couple of days until I got to something I believe to be original, accessible and fun. If it&#8217;s anything like &#8220;Sinking&#8221; I should to a playtest right away so can I take the broken parts out and focus on the good stuff. I quickly made the prototype you see in the photo above so I can test it this week. I&#8217;m calling it &#8220;Carousel&#8221; for now.</p>
