For Wroth, Manny is doing art and design. I believe it’s an area control game with some asymmetrical factions but not at the level of Root. I believe it’s pvp, co-op and solo
For Wroth and Tanglewoods, Manny is doing a lot of the design work. I talked to him at length at a Dice Throne event for Missions. The Tanglewoods games will use some sort of map system with the ability to get coins/shop for stuff (from what I remember of our conversation). Super excited to finally jump into 20 Strong.
Dante is probably at the top of my list as well. I can't say that I am interested in any of the rest of these. Mythic Battles Egypt coming in Q2 from Monolith is also on my list to keep an eye on. Assuming it launches later in the year, Celestial is also something that I will check out.
Like you said, it's hard to even guess what games might be coming. So much we don't know about yet. River Valley Glassworks looks great. Colosseum is a curiousity, see if Fantasia can make it something better. Corps of Discovery, or any Off the Page game, is high up there. How to Save a World, or any Burnt Island game is high up there. I'm curious if we'll see a return of Bloodstone, it's been a long while. Druid City has to have been working on it.
2 out 10 cross over. Not bad, lol. I'm terrible at ordering things, so in a non-ordered fashion, my most anticipated for 2024; - Dante: Inferno - Mythic Battles "Egypt" - Dead Keep (not 100% sure if this will be a KS or retail) - God of War - DeGenesis Clan Wars - Blood Throne - A Song of Ice and Fire Skirmish - Shadowbourne Games Arthurian game Guess I don't have 10. I'm sure there will be enough surprise ones that come up. Edit: i forgot about the just annouced HALO game from Mantic! Definitely want to see more on that.
Thanks for making this video. I too am looking forward to 20 strong. Missed it first time round. Have been enjoying trying out small form factor games.
The Dinogenics reprint should be coming this year and I am really looking forward to that cause picking that game up secondhand? Those prices are outrageous.
Mine are probably (from most to least anticipated) Cascadia Rolling, then 20 Strong Tanglewood, then River Valley Glassworks, then Wroth. I can't think of any others that I'm really anticipating. Even Cascadia Rolling I might not back since on of my FLGSs typically has Flatout Kickstarter editions and when factoring in shipping, it's started to be cheaper to get them from my FLGS. But Maybe they'll pair them with Nocturne (like they did with Fit to Print, Point City, and Deep Dive) and I can get a better price that makes me get them on crowdfunding.
Wroths box art is confusing me >:/ it teases me with an awesome dwarf with an axe head in his beard and then it changes to the goddamned elf, STOP CATFISHING
What’s happening with the board game names on Gamefound? On the front page right now are Dante: Inferno, Forsaken: Dante’s Inferno and Inferno: Deluxe Edition. Feels like they are trying to leech off each other with those names and art. I cannot imagine all 3 will succeed if they launch together.
For now only Wroth interest me and i really like box cover art. I hope game art will be in same direction. Area control is big plus for me and if it's under 90 minutes will be great hit.
Wroth art is....interesting. They showed the map in the Chip Theory preview video and I'm not sure I love it. It's more Mind MGMT than Wonderland's War. I'll withhold judgment until we see the full campaign though.
I think that DANTE is better described as a Boss Battler 😉. Did some English speaking videos for DANTE. But I can surely confirm: DANTE will be the best game of 2024 🙂
No love for Horror on the Orient Express? I've played the game at Essen and the prototype was great already, great deduction game, while fiddly, is so thematic. Not to mention, it has some pedigree behind it with the designers of Nemesis, Frostpunk and Destinies
I'm definitely looking forward to it and I've had a chance to play it, but right now it's in the very good category, I think I need to play it more when it's closer to being ready to see where it lands for me
This was done to ensure folks who are sensitive to the past, realize this game is something different. I didn't understand the reasoning in the KS update, but it sounds like they don't want folks to get the wrong idea about the game.
It's easy to understand why they changed the name. Per Wiki, manifest destiny was a settler-colonial belief in the 19th-century United States that White American settlers were destined to expand across North America. There were three basic tenets to the concept: The inherent superiority of white Americans and their institutions The mission of the United States to redeem and remake the West in the image of the agrarian East An irresistible destiny to accomplish this essential duty Given that it 's a racist ideology used to justify the theft from and genocide of native Americans, Hawaiians, Filipinos etc., it's understandable that a game simply called "Manifest Destiny" would give most people the wrong idea about the game. Retailers (and people seeing it in retail) aren't going to know it's based on a comic. They're going to think some racist yahoo made a game.
@@aeryellae5837 In 2024? Nah, they just wanted avoid any flack. I don't honestly believe anyone would think the game was somehow a positive representation of Manifest Destiny the concept, I think they just know people are so bent over sensitive these days that its better to get in front of it, even if it isn't neccessary.
5:34 So what?! Games are more than art. I don't buy games purely as a painting! Gameplay has a lot to do with it... Hence Splotter Games, for example!...
People can buy games the way they want to. There are so many board games getting games based on if the art is good or not is a way to sift through thousands of board games. For me if art is ugly I won't buy it. I love art and ill buy a game just for the beautiful artwork. If your game is ugly you are basically telling me don't play me. To each there own,. If you care more about gameplay, great but don't tell others its wrong to get a game based off the art. Your gameplay opinion is not superior.
