More personal than other posts, Updates are (usually) monthly and focus on my personal / professional development as a game designer.
July 2022 update: full steam ahead
Maybe one of these days I'll get better at making monthly updates... well, monthly. With that said, it's been a busy month since UKGE ended. June had a lot of behind-the-scenes editing work and some development work for clients, but was also a very productive month...
March 2022 update: more ‘personal life’, less ‘game life’
Well, this has been a month to remember. The last couple of months have been busy with a transition from the digital nomad lifestyle to a more traditional lifestyle in a new country. Where is Chris now? As of mid-March, we have arrived and begun settling into a...
Not quite monthly update: December 2021
The last update of the year is here - and unsurprisingly, things have been busy. Where is Chris now? Tbilisi, Georgia - after a few months in England, we arrived in Georgia (that's the country northeast of Turkey, not the state north of Florida). Why? I'm so glad you...
June 2021: moving, playtesting, and lots of new games!
Yeah, yeah, I know, I missed May. It's been a busy little while - playtesting, designing, working with a client to help develop their game, LOTS of new ideas... Where is Chris now? Chris is in Sofia, Bulgaria - and summer kicked in just after we arrived! What games...
April 2021 update: playtesting, updating, and more playtesting
Blogging used to really come natural to me, and I'm sorry to say I haven't always had that urge to write. I'm definitely still active on Facebook and Discord in the various board game groups, of course... Where is Chris now? We moved to Belgrade, Serbia in mid-March,...
February 2021 update: playtesting, consulting, and refining
A little updating to the website, a lot of playtesting, some consulting for other designers... all in all, a fairly busy month. Where is Chris now? Chris is still in Warsaw, Poland - this is by far the longest I've been in one place for awhile. I'll go back to being a...
January 2021 update: playtesting, Tabletop Publishers, and pitching
In short: Playtesting, creating games, playtesting, doing a few pitches, playtesting some more, and tweaking / polishing a few ideas... Where is Chris now? Chris is still in Warsaw, Poland - and man, it was cold this month... A great reason to stay inside, I guess,...
December 2020 update: researching, playtesting, and wrapping up a very weird year
Well, this has been a year, people. December caps off an overall weird year with an unusual month, even by 2020's standards. Between playtesting, researching, and some other behind-the-scenes stuff, it's been a very busy month for me. Where is Chris now? Chris is...
November 2020 update: playtesting, developing, and staying in the loop
So it's been awhile since a 'monthly update' was a thing. In my defense, I've been busy... and I also wasn't sure how many people actually read them. If you're here and you're curious, however, read on. Since my last update in April, it's safe to say I've adapted to...
April 2020 update: games in the time of coronavirus
I know, I know... where the hell have you been, Chris? This used to be a monthly thing, and it's fallen by the wayside... Let's pick it up again. The first few months of 2020 started off OK, got better, then coronavirus happened and shut everything down. So let's...
