Well, I didn't. The test deck is right there, on the table where I keep my wallet and car keys, reminding me of its existence every time I leave the house.
"Brian! Briiiiiiaaaaan! Produce me! Produce me now! You know you want to!"
Ahem. Anyway, in case YOU forgot about the 4-D card game, let me back up a bit and refresh your memories.
The game is a simple, War- or Hana Fuda-meets-Pokemon-type of game, with a few embellishments, that is meant to be played without having to think too much (the original inspiration for the game came when I once attempted to play a complex card game while drunk, which did not go very well at all).
The last status update about the game, which was designed to accompany the album of the same name, was back in (checks notes, gasps) holy cow, August of 2021. At the time, I said, "If all goes well, the card game will be released simultaneously with the music album in Summer 2022."
Ha! Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Obviously, that did not happen.
But, like I said, it's still there, um...patiently awaiting its production.
What's preventing it? Well, the usual suspects: time and money. Or, more accurately, the lack thereof.
The game design itself is ready. And we have all the base concept artwork done. See below for a sample:
Now, we just need to pull it all together.
Maybe, since Hold My Beer is in what is hopefully a short, temporary holding pattern, we can finally give 4-D, the card game, the attention it deserves?
Perhaps. We shall see. Stay tuned!
P.S. I noticed that there seems to be a lot of interest in last week's post about my possibly being neurodivergent. Well, I went for my main assessment yesterday, and I should know the results in around three weeks or so. Rest assured, I'll let you all know what happens!
