Hi all,

Several players reported that the scoring disappeared between turns in Siberia Card. I am not sure exactly what disappears. Can you be more specific? I don't see any problem on my machine.

Is the 'bug' still there?

Other board games / [Orchard] On Kickstarter
« on: 16/09/19, 10:38am »
Hello all,

Hope you are enjoying our games.

A friend of Happy Meeple (Mark Tuck) is having one of his games on crowd-funding platform Kickstarter this week. Well the campaign is well under way actually. It will end in 6 days and has been funded easily.

Orchard is a solo game that won a competition on Boardgamegeek. I have not had a chance to play it personally (but I definitely will, as it got a large number of very positive reviews). If you like puzzle games, this is definitely for you.

Check it out!

Hello there,

We need your help to figure out the best English word.

In our upcoming SOLO line, each game will come with a series of short tutorials and puzzles.
These levels will teach the game step by step until the player knows everything and can play the whole game in training or online mode as usual.

Some of these puzzles will be considered tutorials. The other ones will just be extra practice puzzles with no new knowledge taught.
It will be possible to skip the practice puzzles and only play the tutorial levels.

We are currently wondering how to call these various levels.
At first we hesitated between the terms puzzle and level. But the "mission" word has now come up and we wonder if it is not the best word of all.

What's you opinion on that?
- Puzzles?
- Levels?
- Missions?
- Something else?

Hello,

We will very soon open the platform so that remote programmers can develop games on Happy Meeple.

It will be possible to help us develop games that we have acquired the license for. It will also be possible to program your own prototypes if you have any.

We except the required tools to be available this week.

If this is something that is of interest to you, please get in touch via our contact form (little pen on top of the menu page)! You can also ask question here of course.

We will soon be opening a new line of solo games so the developer platform will let you work on solo games as well as 2-player games.

We hope that our code logic is well articulated and should make sense to any seasoned developer. You will have access to our range of tools to deal with cards (logic and display), dice (logic and display), piles and decks, animations, sound/music. The code has a Model-View-Controller architecture that splits the logic of the game from the logic of the display and from the user inputs. This makes it easy to understand what is going on.
Coding is done via Javascript and CSS.

EDIT: the developer platform is now open. If you are interested, please read this page: https://www.mindbelts.com/en/developer/dev_start.php

Risky Fishing / Risky Fishing development
« on: 22/03/19, 06:07pm »
Dear all,

We have been working on a solo game about fishing. The game was originally designed a few years ago as a fun way to earn food. But we will now develop a series of solo game and this will most likely be the first one.

The game is called (for the moment) Risky Fishing because you try to guide your boat through rough seas, avoiding rocks as much as you can while fishing. On your turn, you can either :
1) fish
2) decrease speed
3) increase speed
4) fix your boat
5) rest your staff

The problem is that you would like to do more than one action each turn but you can only do one.
As if your life was not hard enough, you also have to make sure you arrive at the port quickly. Otherwise, your fish will start rotting and you will lose some of your precious loot.

We believe the game could probably be launched at it is, but it is much better to ask for our community advice and refine the game to make it even better.

If you would like to give us a hand and give feedback (and maybe suggest improvements), please get in touch with us via the usual means (either via the contact form, the best option, or by replying to this thread). We will then send you the URL of our test website. If you already know it, you can head there straight away.

Let's make a great game together!

Tips, polls, updates / Magic Potion extra power?
« on: 08/03/19, 03:36pm »
Hello all,

We came across this idea today. What do you think of it?

We always look for ways to give more power to Magic Potion. Magic Potion basically gives you unlimited food. But what if it actually also made the game free for your opponent? A Magic Potion icon would show up on the table and this would definitely make the pairing faster for the Magic Potion owner. Another similar idea would be to make the game cheaper for the opponent, not completely free.

Looking forward to reading you.

Happy Meeple community / Help on Reddit
« on: 30/01/19, 09:33am »
Hi there,

A piece of news was posted on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/digitaltabletop/comments/al854a/happy_meeple_free_online_versions_of_lost_cities/
We always need help with promotion. So feel free to comment on the thread and tell the world how much you love Happy Meeple if you are a Reddit user.

An even better thing to do would be to mention Happy Meeple in the board games category: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/. We have done it a very limited number of times in the past, but the community generally votes us down as spammers. Only a regular user stands a chance to have their post voted up. So if you are one, please consider helping us! That would be very much appreciated.

Have a good day!

Circle The Wagons / Circle The Wagons 100$ challenge
« on: 06/12/18, 02:07pm »
Let's play a little game and earn some money!

The first player to beat Verboten 3 times in Circle The Wagons (online mode only) will earn a $100 cash prize.

A few extra rules:

To win the prize, one must climb the ranking list, unlock Verboten and beat it 3 times.
It is allowed to unlock Verboten with coins (to do so, click on Verboten in the list of bots of the training mode screen).
It is allowed to use Magic Potion for more play time.
It is not allowed to inflate one's rating by unconventional ways (by playing against a fake account or a complacent opponent for example). Your rating must reflect your strength.
The winner must have registered their account so that we can get in touch via email.
Payment will be done via Paypal.
We reserve the right to amend the rules (most likely to make the task easier), to increase the prize or even to cancel the challenge altogether should something unforeseen happen.

You can use this thread to report on the challenge.

Have fun!

Let us play a little game and earn some Magic Potion!

The first person to name our next game will earn 1 month of Magic Potion! Yes 1 month of Magic Potion!

But that's not all, any person who asks an interesting question (a question that helps us get significantly closer to the solution) will also be rewarded with Magic Potion or Gold. Just be aware that we can only reply Yes or No to your questions. So don't ask the color of the box or the number of letters in the title!

Ready to play? Let's go!

PS: only one rule, you cannot ask two questions in a row or make two propositions in a row! You need to wait for another player to post another question/proposition before asking again. This is just to avoid flooding by one player.
