This week's listener request has JT and Jeff discussing the previously run Escape Room Challenge.

Prototypes, like onions, have layers. They can also make you cry as you peel back those layers, but that's a story for another time.

They also discuss which type you might want to have in a few different scenarios.

Another contest has entered the voting stage. So JT and Jeff decided to discuss some of the entries from the Simple Elegance contest that caught their attention.
How many games will cross over to both lists? What attracted JT or Jeff to certain games? Will that street band ever stop playing on the nights JT and Jeff record? Ok, they don't cover that last topic. It just constantly goes through Jeff's mind while he's editing!

Is everyone telling you, maybe even us in a previous podcast, that your game is too long or costs too much? Should you just scrap everything? Is it impossible to get sales for a game like that?
Well, we've also told you in the past to make your game and not worry about what other games are out there. And this week, we talk with someone that has done just that!
JT and Jeff talk to Rick Heli about his success on The Game Crafter. Rick has sold around 300 copies of his game Founding Fathers, not to mention the expansions for the game. Founding Fathers is a $65.99 indie game, with a playtime that can take 2-5+ hours.
So join us for this episode to hear from Rick on how this has been possible.

JT and Jeff talk to Arthur Franz about his success on The Game Crafter. Arthur has had to overcome many obstacles with his current board game, Breakaway Football, as an indie game designer: The game costs over $50, it's not being sold by a "big name" publisher, and it's a sports genre game.
Despite all the obstacles, Breakaway Football is being well received and has sold well. Arthur helps us understand his strategy for making this work!

Thanks to more great listener requests JT and Jeff have a new series they'll be recording as they get time to do the research.
And that series is on Mechanics/Mechanisms in game design!
We understand some people are new to game design and may still be learning the various terms used to describe game mechanics. So this series will help bridge that knowledge gap.
In this episode, JT and Jeff discuss Worker Placement and Deck Building, as well as share games that you might want to check out and play for some hands-on knowledge of the mechanic!

So you have a new game idea and maybe a fresh mechanism (in your mind) and you want to start on it. But first, you decide to research other games that might be similar to yours to make sure it's as new and fresh as you think it might be. Hours, maybe days, go by and you're still researching!
Is there an easy way to do this research? Should you do this research? What if there is a game similar to yours?
These are some of the ideas discussed be JT and Jeff thanks to this week's listener request!

Ok, JT tells Jeff why it can't be called Boxception. But JT does share some really cool new features thanks to the main one: Embedded Games.

Legacy games are all the rage a the moment. So what can you do at The Game Crafter to create a legacy style game?
That is what this week's listener request is all about. JT and Jeff discuss what already exists, what might be coming, and what isn't going to be possible when it comes to making a legacy game on The Game Crafter!

Time for another "what happens" question!
What happens when a contest and a listener request align? JT and Jeff make it a topic for the podcast, of course!
This week, JT and Jeff take a look at some unique uses for unprinted components and try to offer some brainstorming ideas for anyone that might be struggling with a concept for the current Game Pieces Only contest!

What happens when not only one, but two listener requests want a little additional publisher insight? JT reaches out and brings on a guest! JT and Jeff are joined by Chris Leder. Chris works for Calliope Games and has several games that have already been published or are in the process of being published.
JT, Jeff, and Chris tackle the "roll and move" taboo, things to possibly avoid when seeking a publisher, some of the realities of self-publishing, and things that might be in a publishing contract.

After a day full of workshops JT takes over the podcast to see if he can get a live audience to collectively take on Jeff in a board game trivia game show. Lucky for Jeff, it's Wits and Wagers style trivia. IS that enough to help him to victory? Or does the crowd crush Jeff's spirit?

JT discusses the new Bounty System that you can see in action right now over at The Game Crafter.
The Bounty System is a TGC internal crowdfunding source that allows the community to help bring new items, functionality, processes, etc... to The Game Crafter by pledging money towards those goals.
The first bounty is for the Small Stout Box, a larger and more durable version of the popular Small Pro Box. This is a box that a lot of people in the community have been asking for and now you have the chance to make it a reality.
At the time of the podcast being posted the Small Stout Box has been funded, but there is still time to make it even better by helping to reach the stretch goals discussed in this episode.
The Small Stout Box Bounty will run until November 20, 2017.

For episode 146 JT and Jeff discuss and share personal stories about the benefits of designing games with constraints. From target audience, components, mechanisms, all the way to the requester mentioned budget; all of these types of constraints can be beneficial to keep in mind.

JT has been hard at work to bring a bunch of new features to Component Studio. For episode 145 he talks about 2 new features that are outside of the normal workflow of Component Studio but will save users a lot of time and money.
The first is the PDFtoPNG tool and the second is the SVG Optimizer.
JT also shares that the free trial has been expanded from 1 day to 3 days. And the code "firstk" is still valid until the end of the year to get $5 off your subscription for as long as it remains active.

Welcome to episode 144 where JT and Jeff explore the topic of the Crafters that work at The Game Crafter and how automated the game production process is currently.
So do the Crafters get to pick the games they work on? Are they gamers? Do they start to recognize games?
From uploading your game all the way through to shipping it; how much of the process is automated versus having human interaction?
As you can imagine, this is another listener request where JT walks the line between being informative and staying vague where necessary.

What goes into calculating the MSRP of a game at The Game Crafter? How about what goes into calculating the MSRP of a game in general? Why is the range of answers you typically hear in the 5x to 10x range? What should you base your game's MSRP on?
These are all questions that JT and Jeff discuss in episode 142.

What happens when an episode looks like it is going to be too short for even JT? He asks Jeff to pull a second listener request!
So tonight, JT Smith and Jeff King discuss not one, but two topics requested by listeners. The first, is a listener looking for magnetic parts and the viability of The Game Crafter offering them. The second is a discussion about putting out a bad game. Are there any benefits? JT attempts to convince Jeff that there might be, but does Jeff agree?

For episode 132, JT and Jeff look at pretty much the same listener request submitted by 2 different listeners!
To tackle such an in demand request, JT and Jeff talk with Zack Michael about not 1 but 2 of his successful Trading Card Games currently for sale on The Game Crafter.
Zack shares why he works within the TCG distribution model, how he found The Game Crafter, and what he's done to build an audience.
Listen and take notes. Some of the things that Zack shares are good ideas for game designers looking to build an audience in general. They are things that JT and Jeff have talked about off and on throughout the life cycle of the podcast so far. Zack has built a YouTube following in an organic fashion that is now 10,000+ subscribers strong. And sold more than 200 copies of both of his TCGs, with one hitting over 400 copies so far.

JT's angry! And you won't like him when he's angry! Ok, maybe you will. Because in this case, JT is angry because people are being discouraged from making their games. And specifically, JT and Jeff discuss not giving up on a game simply because someone else is making a similar game.
JT and Jeff also spend time talking about how you can change the scale of a game to make it a very different game than another one that already exists.
And while JT and Jeff are at it, they encourage you to check out Episode 111: Borrowing In Game Design

When a listener request gives us a great sign off, we have to respond with, hopefully, a great episode!
In episode 122, JT and Jeff tackle the question of what factors go into making a price change, adjustment, or maybe even a printed part replacement that will affect the users of The Game Crafter?
Side note: Pulling back the curtain a bit, Jeff is not currently sick! And JT talks about a "future" project that we've already released an episode about. This was recorded awhile ago and vaulted as other episodes needed to come out first. So ignore those parts, and focus in on the lovely sounds of JT telling us all about making price and part decisions at The Game Crafter! ;-}

It is once again the most glorious time for many podcasts, but especially for The Game Crafter Official Podcast: LISTENER REQUEST!
That's right, Jeff brings us the following email question from a listener:
Do you foresee a time when a game development studio can be just as profitable using Gamecrafter for manufacturing and fulfillment as they would going through more traditional "mass market" means? What are the barriers to this happening?
JT and Jeff spend this episode exploring this topic.
And remember, if you have a request for a topic: Please share them! We are always looking to cover the topics that our listeners want to hear!
