Since my last blog post, I’ve been busy working on my games. In that post, I mentioned my breakthrough in working on Pets & Fedoras, and that I had been reworking its layout. However, I haven’t worked any on it since then. The last 10% (?) of the layout remains undone. So what have I been doing instead?

Well I started a quick reskin of Grant Howitt’s Sexy Battle Wizards, for the Hot Mutant Summer Jam. The text of this is 90% done too. I just need to sit down and lay it out nicely on a single page. Great! So you’re almost ready to put out two small games, right?

Nope!!

Instead of finishing off the layout of either of those, I’ve been working on my Heartbreaker. It’s coming along pretty well, I’ve come up with a premise that I think is fairly unique. But I’m not sure if it’s going to end up as a true heartbreaker, or more of a Forged in the Dark work. It seems that I have ideas, but I really can’t tell what their final form will end up being.

Anyway, I have a bad case of the procrastination by doing something else. This blog is going to end up a mad online sketchbook of 70% completed drafts. Maybe I need an editor or writing partner to keep me on track. Or maybe I just need a solid block of time where I can sit down and focus on the layout. The last time I completed a project, it was Hot Dog Borg. Its layout only got done because it was Eid and I had a few hours free to really mash it up on Canva.

Tomorrow will be my first true off day since Eid so I just might be able to focus and finish up those projects. No promises.

Peace, Mr. Zech.
