A14 Games is a game design studio creating board and digital games. Here is our gamedev manifesto:

Games are a set of mechanics and content interacted by players. As a product of human mind they are part of cultural heritage. We are the A14 Games and this is how we want to create games:

1. Form
The mechanics of the game should speak for the game entirely. Any story the game has to tell should be

told trough player actions and games’ reactions.

2. Content
A game should have an idea behind it – a mission or a message. Whether it is a dose of education, social reflection, philosophical idea – it should be made visible to the player and contribute to overall user experience as an integral part.

3. Delivering
Games take time and money, and we care that they deliver proper value. Contrary to a common belief – the length of a game does not determine its value and quality. We appraise games by their valuetime, the amount of value it fits in a unit of time. It is achieved by good mechanics, high quality content and coherent esthetics.

4. Demanding
What has a value has its price, a good game requires an effort to play. A player needs to put his focus, skill or knowledge into a game to expect a value in return.

Basil Zaharoff - a cynical arms dealer, selling guns to everyone and anyone, orchestrating wars and conflicts, "the archetypical merchant of death" - a horrible human being and a great inspiration for the character development in our game.

Good material:

is a deal-making game in SF world of ludings. Ludings are short-lived creatures and so is player character. Traveling the world, meeting folks and building relations eats precious time so you'd better think on your feet and plan your moves on the fly to make the best use of given time.

Our first take on deal-making mechanic for The player has to find a deal that is close enough to overall market price. If they are pushy they might get a better deal but the long-lasting relationship will suffer.

The world in construction pt.2: Inhabitants Posted on July 9, 2018 by Adam Wołoszczuk When designing SF setting there is a temptation to throw humans into it because ‘why not?’. If it’s space opera then add some altered humans that will imitate some alien races, maybe some robots and that’s...
