Goblinauts: Goblins in Space (PBtA)
To get away from those oppressive talls ¸ we left Earth. Left behind all the horrible shit humans and the rest did to each other¸ all the violence and hate. Many discussions were had. Everyone agreed the moon was too close. We were farther along than others¸ technologically¸ but they weren't that far behind. If we were that close¸ it'd be only a matter of decades¸ at most¸ before we'd once again struggle with their boots on our necks. Especially in the shadow of the Earth itself. Nah¸ the Moon was definitely too close. Mars was a contentious point. We were fairly certain we could settle it¸ several of our brightest minds already had the tech needed to begin¸ but that megalomaniacal fascist billionaire already had his eyes on turning Mars into a space slave colony… oh¸ sorry¸ it was indentured servitude. If not decades¸ only a century or more would see us once again in conflict with those terrible capitalists. No¸ Mars¸ too… was too close. The Belt was the only place we could see to settle. So to the belt we went. In giant secret ships¸ almost every Goblin left the Earth and its terrible denizens behind. Two-hundred years we've been here¸ on our own. Two hundred years of peace. Now they come knockin'¸ once again¸ but I'll be damned if we are gonna give up ground twice. We ain't gonna let them push us out¸ and we aren't going to let them treat us like they used too. Goblinauts¸ as an idea¸ formed only 3 days ago¸ it started as a fun and quick throw away idea for the GoblinWeek2020 Jam on Itch.io. However¸ as I built it¸ I found more I wanted to add¸ until it's slowly¸ or rather-very quickly¸ became a labor of love. 17 pages of content and counting! In the last 3 days I have worked to create a fun and straight forward¸ pbta style game that as is¸ is comparatively light but completely playable. While playable¸ I am not done with the game yet¸ and anyone who gets in at the ground floor¸ here¸ will help fund the work needed and allow me to dedicate some additional time to tightening and expanding the game in the following ways: Add Art. As an artist and as a sci-fi and goblin fanatic¸ I look forward to including so much art for this game¸ unfortunately at the moment¸ almost all my time has been dedicated to paying work. Sales on this will help to give me some breathing room to work on the game. Enhance Layout. I have so many Ideas for the layout¸ to improve and tighten it up. I'm still fairly new to indesign and layout¸ but I know with a lil extra time and elbow grease I can get something really cool and thematic. Expand Rules. Expand on the currently simple and direct Community mechanics¸ add some special moves for the Goblins¸ and just really tighten and expand on the game. It is exceptionally likely that as the game fleshes out¸ I'll be increasing the price to reflect the content and work that goes into improvements¸ so getting in early gets you access to the game at a cheaper price point then it may be down the
