It’s a Tutorial Revamp! Definitely didn’t expect to be doing another Axes and Acres update so soon, but by popular demand we have completely re-done the tutorial. Here’s hoping the new system works better for teaching the game!
(Now with ARROWS!)
1.05b Patch Notes
-Completely revamped tutorial!! (I’m so tired!)
-Renamed woodsman -> hunter
-Enabled using moves with no workers on board
-Enabled farming when wood on space
Keith Burgun, Fabian Fischer and I have started curating a site of game design content (blogs, videos, podcasts and whatever else). The goal is a) to promote more of this writing to take place and b) to show how game design principles inform actual games as they are made!

Very cool, personal talk about the design of the Riot board game “Mechs vs Minons”. Really enjoyed the candidness here. Some nice nuggets about specific targeted play-testing as well. Cool unexpected slide cameos of Tom Vassel and Quinns from Shut Up and Sit Down as well. 🙂

Feels a bit like announcing a baby too soon, but hey, this took some doing!
