I'm not usually on Bluesky so would prefer email or DM over on Discord if either of those work for you? The commission page has both contacts listed.

I also like the idea of using a plastic card (durability) having 1 side art for the ramp and the other side a rules reference so it's serving multiple purposes

000

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Yep that's correct. Currently leaning toward the playing card method as it best ensures smoothest edge on play surface and last thing I want IRL is a ruined shot from an imperfect ramp leading to a bad time and poor reviews.

000

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Game info including current models etc. are on my Github: github.com/s3rvant/boar... It's also playable (though physics issues with ramp) on Tabletop Simulator via Steam: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... I'll write up a formal proposal shortly.

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Controls include 2 players able to manipulate objects (pick up, rotate, flick) and both the players and observers with camera controls to move and look around the game area.

000

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I only need a Godot developer; this is to be a digital representation of a physical game (essentially a physics sandbox) to help with final playtesting and demo of the IRL game. No game logic is needed. Components include play surface, 4 discs, 1 pole, 1 ramp.

100

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I have measurements; this is a digital representation of a physical prototype There is no game logic; it's basically a physics sandbox - so all controls are simultaneous. Will also need observers with their own camera controls.

Ideally just browser; I'm familiar with hosting web servers

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Players are flicking discs that collide with each other knocking them around. The discs are also flicked up a ramp to go airborne and collide with a pole to knock it over. Discs that leave the play area fall to a lower level where they can be picked back up and placed back on the edge of the surface

110

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

The main thing on ramp dimensions is how it affects difficulty. A narrow ramp is harder to hit and a taller ramp makes it easier to arc higher on the flick. Ramp length likely only affects how smoothly the disc travels up it as it changes how steep the ramp is.

100

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Whereas the card is more consistent but has to be held in place to work correctly so is more awkward to actually use

100

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Thanks and yes I'm still tweaking IRL as well essentially trying to find the most consistent type of ramp such as a wood wedge or resting a playing card on a disc to create a ramp. The wood wedge works mostly but is VERY important to be super flat to the surface or has that same collision issue.

100

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

What ends up happening is discs collide with the ramp edge and bounce or otherwise deflect rather than smoothly traveling up the ramp As a workaround I don't mind picking up a disc to set on the ramp before flicking though ideally that isn't needed - I'm testing this IRL also so is fine either way

100

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Switching to my Bluesky account instead of Mastodon bridge Yes a physics playground is pretty accurate The game involves flicking discs up a ramp to knock over a pole while the disc is still airborne The main issue I'm having with others solutions is collisions with the ramp edge...

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

So long, and thanks for all the fish 🐬 Bluesky was fun but its algorithms continue to frustrate the experience I'm after 😞 I'll remain on Mastodon for the foreseeable future 🐘 fosstodon.org/@s3rvant

Orapa Mine is a puzzly little brain burner of a board game We've played it several times already usually enough rounds each session so each player can have a turn designing the puzzle #boardgames #gaming

Daughter and son-in-law came over tonight which means... board games! She requested roll-n-writes and specifically another go at Orapa Mine with picks ending up as: 1 game of Welcome To (lost) 3 rounds of Orapa Mine (won x2) 1 game of Koala Rescue Club (won, 1st time playing) #boardgames #gaming

Kiddos have been building better Pokemon decks so looked up some cheaper decks to tinker with and ended up building a budget Greninja EX deck based on a few others that I had found. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. pokemoncard.io/deck/budget-... #pokemontcg #pokemon #gaming

Peeps, the physical version of Everspark is just around the corner, which means you just have TWO MORE DAYS to get it at pre-sale price. 🥳🥳 Now is the time! 📣📣

Roller coaster of emotions over the arrival of Dragon Eclipse 🤩 at arriving a day early 😬 seeing 30-40 minute unboxing guide 😍 unpacking the gorgeous minis 😭 at the hour it actually took to unbox ☺️ looked through all the sorted bits Now to schedule game day! #DragonEclipse #boardgames #gaming

Man I love playing Scythe; easily one of my favorite games. Recently picked up its sequel Expeditions though haven't yet gotten it to the table.

Only $6.90 for PDF and $12.11 for hard copy shipped... that was an easy decision to purchase!

This game for Luanti does a great job replicating the bulk of Minecraft, is entirely free and doesn't have those annoying login troubles: content.luanti.org/packages/Wuz... Kiddos and I now self-host our own server and play Luanti exclusively over Minecraft

Protospiel Online is one of my favorite conventions as a game designer; both getting and giving feedback with other designers has lead to some of the most rapid design iteration of any other playtesting I've done

David @s3rv4nt.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

This reminds me vaguely of Age of War I assume this is similarly a push-your-luck moment in the game? These can be both fun and aggravating for the various people at the table lol.

The Mask! Fun movie; cute figure; would buy the TTRPG.

If your company kickstarts board games... I have a couple I'd be happy to chat about

This one's weighted a bit higher than we usually dig into but... I keep seeing glowing reviews for it so will at least add it to the wishlist for now 🙂

Couldn’t resist and added a map-making procedure to Everspark 😄 This one used hand gestures! Boy, the fun I have with those things 😅

Ditto here; especially being intentional about playing the heavier games that are harder to get to the table. Poor Golem and Spirit Island have been waiting a year already...

I have a cooperative abstract on time travel as well as a micro dexterity game I'm considering... both would need some minor work such as better rulebook illustrations before submitting. Maybe.

Also got in a game of #Faraway where the cards most certainly conspired against me... could NOT find the 2nd plant icon I needed so my entire lineup only scored 4 points... Fortunately my sanctuaries came through allowing a narrow victory #boardgames #gaming

Got in a game of #Flamecraft with youngest son while lady folks were out and about. 💙 gained a small lead in early game and then took off mid game as ❤️ hit a slump. Late game ❤️ started scoring several shop upgrades but 💙 had a couple big payoffs at the end that sealed their win #boardgames #gaming
