www.thegamecrafter.com
Standee tiles for restaurants, houses, most marketing, drink locations, etc. including Ketchup exp

recently, it was announced one-time only deluxified version of Food Chain Magnate (FCM) would be held on Gamefound (campaign not launched yet) featuring a different art style than the infamous Spotter Spellen game known for its retro yet functional graphic design which some felt was so bad refused to play it despite it receiving critical acclaim

  • the deluxe by Lucky Duck Games on Gamefound will run concurrently with sales of the original on Splotter (prices are predicted to cost no less than the original)
  • there are plans to introduce deluxe version of the FCM expansion
  • there will not be an upgrade pack for owners of the original version of FCM
  • English only deluxe, because of distribution rights
  • this isnt the first time a Splotter game received an art refresh, Bus received an English only 20th anniversary in 2019. with another title, Ur: 1830 BC getting a re-release pending a popularity vote

meanwhile unrelatedly, a fan-made laser-cut 3D standee tiles was also released on Game Crafters earlier this month for those wanting to deluxify their copy while retaining the original’s unique aesthetic appeal

question for all you Beeple and Fediversers - im curious which style of deluxe do you prefer if any? the Lucky Duck Games deluxe, or the fan-made laser-cut 3D standee tiles

    Compared to some other Splotters, FCM was downright professional and nice looking haha.

    ikr!! FCM was one of the earlier Splotter games i encountered, so The Great Zimbabwe was quite a shock aesthetics wise for me!

    im afraid i dont have any links on hand, but i feel the complaints (at least i heard on reddit back then) were because the design for FCM looks more like a prototype than that of a finished game, especially the map tiles and “clip-art” graphics combined with the high price point. this might also have been people’s first introduction to Splotter games in general (it was for me) so that probably didnt help too

    i definitely loved the art style though, so at least I dont have to worry about the one time run of Lucky Duck’s deluxe. Horseless Carriage on the other hand… its no Ian O’Toole’s Kanban EV id give it that
