These were my precedents. The first one is a war strategy game similar to what I want to make, and the second is star wars ships to base my ships on.

This was my first sketch on day 0. There were no materials that I needed that I did not currently have. As you can see I made a sketch of a board and I conceptualised the pieces.

Part 1 - The Board

I then made both parts of the board on cuttle. I decided to hand-make the squares in between planets and moons because I do not know what will be on them yet.

Part 1

Part 2

This was the final result of the laser-cut pieces.

Problems I have or will be facing:

• Painting may take a few classes and may not look great on the first try, but I do not really get a second try
• Hand-making the spaces may be inconsistent...

Next steps on this front:

• Paint the board with the help of Mrs. Walrod
• Add in the spaces
• Create a spinner? Maybe dice
• glue the pieces together

Part 2 - The Pieces

I wanted to make a few kinds of pieces. I ended up making 6 kinds, 3 ship pieces and 3 structure pieces.

These were my first 3 ship pieces, a gunship, a torchship (technically gunShip and torchShip but idc) and a dreadnought

Dreadnought (Max 4 per team)

Torchship (Max 12 per team)

Gunship (Max 16 per team)

I then made a print that i will do twice, once per team it is the max ships a team can have

I then made each structure: factories produce ships, mines let factories produce better ships, and docks allow torchships and dreadnoughts to station on a planet. This will be printed only once, as it has both teams' supply of structures. every structure has a max of 13 per team.

Mines

Docks

Factories

I then made a lot of rules and instructions for each piece in-depth that will later go into my rulebook (which may turn out to be quite big). I did not include them here because it would be an absolute wall of text and that is boring.

Problems I have or will be facing:

• My slow chromebook cannot download the stl files for my very big prints :(
• Even if I could get the files to print it would take like 2 days just to print on set of ships, plus time for supports... and I have to dip these in paint to get them color-coded

Next steps on this front:

• Try to find a way to print my pieces, or just may a bunch of smaller prints
• then I will dip these in paint, and maybe find or make a bag to store them
• NEXT UP IS CARDS - they are going to be very important and I plan to make them out of cardstock

After my Mid-Review, most people told me to simplify my 3D printed designs.

This is what i came up with...

This was the tinkercad view

As you can see, they are very simple.

Next, I spent a lot of time working on my board, and I finished painting it. This is the final result.

Then, I created a rules document for those who do not know how to play the game.

Finally, i created many cards to play the game.

Thanks for listening!
