One thing is to design the board game, but a totally different thing is to have a successfull publishing. For that reason I have drafted a page with some aspects of that process. Below you can find both the link and the list of categories I started off with. Is it a full list? Well… I feel it is not, it does not cover all the aspects, it doesn’t ask some questions and it certainly is not a recepee. But what I wanted to achieve actually is to see how to easily visually track a progress against those main categories. And this is also for me – to MAKE progress in those. Here is the link to the page Tracker. I somehow feel – that each project (especially the first one) will have more detailed plan, probably in a format of Mind Map. I just need to find a good, free tool that I’ll be able to share with you.

Now – one thing that strikes me from the very start. Doing what I hope and achieveing what I want is … less about design of a board game, but probably more in the publishing. And how about that? Who would think? Now… I’ll still find creative ways to spice this up. Stay tuned.
