UK games expo 2025
I will be attending as a punter, the aim next year is to be there with Spores and my miniatures. I am looking for a partner to share a stand with, I have a indie company in mind. More on that closer to the time. Character card layout change. Temporary graphic design
Redesign to the character cards to reflect change in ranged combat and damage rules. Once finalised, I will make the cards look a lot nicer and make some original icons.
Continued work on the rulebook
Big updates to line of sight rules. I also started to write the world of spores section. I plan to support this section with comic strip images. 
Lots of progress on the test board
Sides matched and now working on plants and scatter.
Scratch building fences and cover
3d printed ladder worked quite well.
Fencing off the crater to make some much needed cover in the centre of the board. Coffee sticks and styrene rods
More sticks and a knock off lego chain. Some sand and rocks added. Will blend them in with paint and moss flock.
