It would be easy to just print the game professionally, because my family wouldn’t suspect that I made it probably so prank would be successful….

… so I added a few references to my late dog to the cards and a couple other tidbits to see if they’re paying attention 😈

Here are my sloppy prototypes to play test the game! Not pretty but functional 👏🏽

I play Animal Crossing City Folk for the first time in 10 years! (And analyze the game design as I go)

Yes, I'm serious.

A retrospective of Animal Crossing New Horizon's tutorial! These kind of videos take a lot of time and patience, so if you're interested in seeing more like this I'm very happy to continue going! :)

Context: My main project for YouTube right now is creating a tabletop game to prank my family into thinking I bought it

I found out that the the card sizes I was using for the tabletop game was almost double the price for almost half the amount of cards 🥲

Sooooooo looks like I��m going to have to reformat everything ahhhhhhh

But it means I can afford better card ratios and boxes from the manufacturer ☺️

New Hokko Life video coming soon 👀

Hey you!

Yes You!

Would you ever want your pet to cameo in a tabletop game? Well today is your lucky day! I'm doing free pet portraits to be included in the Tabletop games cards!

What is this about?

I'm a (kinda professional) game developer working on a tabletop game to prank my family into thinking I bought it from the store, and I need to doodle some chibi animals eating breakfast or doing cute things on some of the game cards.

Who are you?

Call me Chiffon, or Chi for short! I'm a gamedev with a game design education who doesn't want to work in the industry in the current climate, so I'm making youtube videos about game design to help pass on what I know!

How does this work?

You will get appropriate credit for the pet if they are included, as well as a digital watermarked copy of the drawing! Just please note the terms of service, as this game is intended to be for a personal project but may be published down the line.

How do I submit?

Please read, and identify that you agree to the terms

Submit a picture or multiple pictures of your chosen pet alongside your preferred username credit!

Reblogs and likes highly appreciated, but not necessary!

Thank you for considering being part of my journey :)

Help me name these characters!

I need some help naming these characters!

I'm pranking my family into playing a game that I made, and these are the characters that need some names for the lore!

We have Ferris the Fox, Burrito the Bunny, but we need names for the Cat (She/Her), The Bear (He/Him), and the Squirrel (They/Them)!

Do you have any name suggestions? Leave them down below!

If you are comfortable with your username being featured in a video and possibly the rulebook if your name is chosen (pending), then please let me know!

I just realized that my chosen manufacturer for the tabletop game charges double for the card size I originally designed for and the cards were a lot bigger than I planned 🥲 so I’m reformatting everything

But anyway here’s a cat snoot from under a blanket to keep us all going

I'm pranking my family into playing a game that I made!

I decided a few months ago to make a tabletop game and get it professionally printed! I'm currently in the design phase of the game and after lots of playtesting I'm ready to finalize the cards and art!

Come along with me to see where my whacky journey takes me! And maybe there will be opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways ;)

I edited my Jax virtual pet to make a lil Pomni! From this franchise or another one, which character should I make a virtual pet of next? :)

[tarotbobateas]

I made a digital pet of Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus as a game design challenge in one evening! This is how I did it :)

I made a virtual pet of Jax from the Amazing Digital circus in one evening~ He can be fed, talked to and picked up (much to his dismay)

Thank you Gooseworx for such a special new comfort show <3
