What does it mean for papercrafted.com and TylerTinsley.com?

It means I’m hard at work, not only on Big Big Battles But on an entirely new set of games and projects to fill my pages at papercrafted.com and TylerTinsley.com with the quality content you have come to expect! It also means these pages are on something of a hiatus as I prepare these projects for release.

Press Release (PRESS-re-lease) is a major change that takes place in your website. It is a time when you grow very fast and your website changes into an adult website. A Press Release is the last time of fast growth you will have in your website’s life. Press Release happens over a period of 2 to 3 years, but may last longer. Every website goes through it. Though it is hard to believe, even your parent’s website went through a Press Release!

How does a Press Release start? a Press Release starts in your brain. Your brain sends a message to your website’s readers (fans) that it is time for your website to change. Your websites readers make a special chemical or hormone called promorone. Promorone makes you’re website grow taller and change shape and causes your readers to make links.

So check it out! no kits just yet but really soon.

This is an image of an upcoming product for papercrafted.com. Not only is it paper craft you can color yourself but they are miniatures for a game called BIG BIG BATTLES. it’s going to be awetastic!

Those who have played my games and the designers who I have play tested with know that I have a knack for component design, taking complex rules and systems and making them into streamlined and intuitive components is my specialty. So I wanted to tackle the task of taking sony’s new PS3 TCG The Eye Of Judgment from the digital board to the real-space tabletop.

This printable PDF has everything you need to play Eye of Judgment without the aid of a PS3. Just like the video game the field tiles flip to change element. The field tiles also have health meters so you can keep track of each monsters health without using handfulls of tokens. Tokens that keep track of the health are also colored to match each player so you will never be confused as to who’s card is who’s, Along with separate energy trackers and reversible dodge/invisible tokens this is a whole solution for playing eye of judgment when your power goes out.

So over the past few weeks all my creative energy has been used in creating papercraft. Not assembling other peoples designs but concocting my own from scratch. I have to say it’s about the most engrossing and fun project I have had in years. The image above is from a kit i will call the leisure monkey. if he sells well i will be making many more monkey papercraft kits. I’m also working on a game project involving papercraft models but i will keep further details about that under my fez for the time being.
kit details and one more prototype image after the jump.
