Hey all!
I thought my first indie game would be a video game, but as it turns out, I'm making a card game. Being a big gamer though, I decided to do video game style art on all the cards.
Since indie game devs are the nicest people in the world, I also got some really awesome indie games to cameo in my game. I have cameos from: Octodad, Guacamelee, Roundabout, Go Home Dinosaurs, and Blood Alloy.
I used to be at Harmonix, making video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but after a layoff in December, I put all of my effort into my own card game.
That game is Billionaire Banshee. It's a game where everyone playing pretends they're single & is looking for a soul mate. There are 2 card piles, a Perk pile and Quirk pile. The player who's turn it is grabs 1 card from each pile and the combination of traits listed makes up their potential lover. For instance: PERK: They Have A Giant Robot QUIRK: They Have An Adult Baby Fetish. Everyone secretly votes if that player would date the weird combination, and those that know their friend best get a point.
Check it out if that sounds interesting to you. And if you're an indie dev that would like your game featured as a cameo card, just contact me on the Kickstarter.
