Holy heck, board game dev logs are criminally underrated and we need more documentation on the creation of them. Thank you!
Thanks so much! :D I'll keep that in mind.
Gotta make a video when mine is published then ;)
@@cecillewolters1995 Definitely! What is it about?
@@desdevie9476 Multiple games hahaha
But the first one is a game in which you need to take your flag back from the opponent and bring it back home. They do the same of course.
It can be played with 2 to 4 persons, video's will be made about this and the whole proces ;)
Hmm I’m working on one. Should I film it?
"Things on the market weren't enough for me, so i decided to make my own game"
This sounds like the backstory of a forever DM in DND
:D
I'm pretty sure that's exactly Matthew Mercer's backstory
That’s more or less what happened to me. The Mercer syndrome got to me, so I decided to try to become mercer
oh no
I thought this happened like, recently, not 2/3 years ago.
LOL
I cannot explain just how much I love the art for the game. It’s wonderful!
Thanks so much! :D
@@Goodgis just asking but did u print the cards or made them out of paper and what software u use
@@gamingahmedrobot7293 I think it says in the video, he does use a software though
@@gofferegg yes I figured it out a year ago
@@gamingahmedrobot7293 yeah but what does he use
Holy crap that was the most impulse-ass buy I've made in my life.
This is awesome stuff dude! The video was super inspiring, and then the moment you said you didn't have much left in stock, I made a mad dash to the checkout haha.
I'm moving soon, and I can't wait for this to be the first game I play with my new roommates!
Best of luck with your future projects!
yeah this looks awesome! also, you have a great channel
Hey bro.
Ayyye, thanks so much! :D
Of course I come across this a week later when it's sold out :P
pls dont say Holy in vain 😁
I would really love to buy a PDF and print myself. I live outside of the US and the shipping is really expensive :(

Maybe we can make that a stretch goal for our Kickstarter. :D

This is super inspiring because I’ve always wanted to publish a board game and I’ve worked on many throughout the years but I always stopped development. Now I’ve been slowly crafting one, making it a part of my routine everyday, and I’m loving the process more than ever. Thanks for sharing!
That's awesome! I wish you the best of luck.
Beesechurger what are you doing here!
я, школьник, тоже настольные игры делаю и без инструкций
могу самую лучшую рассказать во всех подробностях если вам интересно
правда я ихне продаю
You should officially bring it to tabletop simulator, i feel like that would be a big advert for the game
We are trying too!
Great video as always Goodgis! I still think back to those days in college, working like crazy to finish everything for The Keeyp and for school. Thanks to everyone who made the Keeyp possible. It was fun while it lasted! 😁 On to the next thing!
Could you please find a sponsor to print and ship the game. I really liked the board and want to play it but I live in Europe :(
where can i ind your profile photo? goodgis uses it also
@@ottar0428 we are trying to bring it back for everyone, but we need to get some people behind us. Sign our petition at: www.change.org/p/firith-bring-back-the-keeyp-board-game

Ah!! This game looks just so beautifully elegant! That art style is absolutely delightful and the mechanics look so simple. Thank you for sharing how you started with notecards and frustrated family members. That kind of failure is what keeps holding me back from my own projects, so thank you for sharing this inspiring journey.
Thanks so much!
I came here just to say that the thumbnail for this vid is so damn C R I S P Y

and my dream come true, a roguelike board game, i so excited to see this
Your wish is granted
*Roguelite
@@forg783 * Roguelike
@@barry5 *Roguelite
@@forg783 What's the point of correcting it tho?? Isn't roguelite a form of roguelike, just not that hardcore? It's a sub category, not a completely different thing. You are basically correcting someone for calling an apple a fruit.
Man, you definitely need to reprint the game, and put it up again! This time with international shipping, so I can get one. 😃
International shipping!!! YESSS!!! Hope they do that... we need this game in korea :(((
We did have international shipping but people complained because it was so expensive. If the keeyp ever got big enough then we could justify having printers over seas but right now it's just too hard. The best way to support us right now is to sign our petition to bring the game back. www.change.org/BringBackTheKeeyp

Why does UA-cam recommend this to me know when it's impossible to get except print and play? Man, it looks pretty great. Nice work on rolling up your sleeves and just saying, "Guess I'll have to do it myself!"
There isn't even a physical copy on eBay.
I'm actually planning to create a board game from the indie game I'm making at some point.
Go for it! :D

I am working on a micro TTRPG that I am hoping to have finished by the end of the year. It is shocking how quickly and slowly a game comes together. It is an exciting thing to work on.
That's awesome! :D Best of luck to you!
The description of "Fight monsters, level up, and get gear" sounds like Munchkin :P
Haha!
Aaaaawh, I can't believe I didn't get this video recommended to me while the Kickstarter was live! It looks great, loved seeing the development.
It shall return!
You know, three years ago I came up with an idea for a game called Deeper Dungeons. It was a co-op card game, where you open doors to discover rooms, and each room has a chance to contain nothing, an enemy, or a treasure (draw from the item deck) The goal of the game was to get OUT of the dungeons by finding the set of stairs that were placed somewhere it the deck. I made it completely by hand, and still think about remaking it and publishing today. Inspiration: GOT.
I made my own cardgame a few years ago from a idea workshop I attended. During our final presentation, one of the judges was from a government company that will give seed fundings to startups, and he was excited about my game. Fast forward to almost 7 years now, I never really did pursuit the cardgame. But, within that 7 years of gap, I did get my friends to playtest my mockup and prototype. I think I just might get back on it. I'm also working on converting an existing fighting game into a tabletop style cardgame fighting. It will be shortlived but I am hoping to make it into trial for the real game devs of the existing fighting game to play it. Thanks for making this video, and wish me luck!
I NEED TO GET THIS! Good luck finding a publisher. This looks awesome

Can I just say how much I appreciate (as an almost compulsive, perfectionist designer myself) seeing how meticulously you arrange all the elements with correct spacing using the align option and they all have the same stroke width? Because with all the designers/game developers on UA-cam/Kickstarter and such, it's all too rare to see this attention to detail, so I want to mention this quality - I really appreciate it! 👌
This time invested by you alone should be reason enough for a re-release for The Keeyp.
Okay, designer-nerd-talk over. Great job! 😅
If you're ever interested in a German localisation - I'd be happy to support you, even if it might be a bit difficult (but not impossible) to translate all wordplays as such.
Thanks so much! That always means a lot! :D
Awesome to hear about your game and how you made it with friends! It kind of reminds me of a game I played a while ago called betrayal at house on the hill.
Yeah! I've played that before. It does have a couple similarities. Thanks so much!
This looks like a super cool game! It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite board games I’ve ever played, betrayal at the house on the hill. It shares a lot of the same core mechanics, like the two stages where it starts friendly then people turn on each other, and also the system of building the board. If you are interested in or like this game I would def recommend betrayal at the house on the hill.
It's too spooky for me. I played it once and never again haha
You always give me inspiration to keep on making games.
THANK YOU!
I make games to support goodgis's amazing work. He honestly deserves it. Plus, it needs to be recorded somewhere-- first roguelike boardgame ever created.
That makes me so happy to hear! :D I believe in you!
Wow this is incredible! It's so well made, I loved the artstyle
Thanks so much! :D
I love the idea that I started working on my boardgame like 1-2 weeks ago, from ideas on paper to prototypes, play testing it over and over. This video got recommended to me and I'm so happy and excited to see others go through the same problems as me with establishing the rules for the game and how stuff interacts with each other!!
Sometimes youtube algorithm can be a blessing in the sky
there was a board game that I can't recall its name. You build the entire map in stage 1 then when stage 2 triggers depending on some parameters of how stage 2 was reached the whole monster and mechanics of stage 2 would change, sometimes the bad guy is a zombie and turns everyone into a zombie, an other time the map would collapse, etc (I didn't get to play many renditions of it to comment)
I reaaaaaally love the art of this boardgame!!
Thanks! :D I had a blast working on it!
I'm making a boardgame myself right now, so this makes me feel like I can actually finish it. (It's a foursquare game by the way)
Im making a Game too
Go for it! :D
@@Goodgis Well i cant... Im Just 13 years old and im from Germany. But i Made Lots of Games and also a German Version of the keeyp :D. But when im older i will try to publish sind of my Games. And thanks that you believe in me 🙂
@@nilsjonas3677 I think he was talking to the original commenter...
I think you guys could benefit from the custom mechanical keyboard marketing model of doing Group Buys, where you basically sell X copies until you reach a MOQ, and *then* you actually produce the number of bought copies and ship them wherever; and after that, you make a Round 2, ad infinitum
Basically, infinite kickstarters, but you also don't go through the hassle of setting up one, with a hype video and tiers
That's a great idea!
As someone currently making a Board Game/Card Game for fun this is has been a good inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
I wish my school experiences were like this.
They can be. ;)
;)
;)
I can proudly confirm that I've been a part of a petition to revive an amazing brand you offer us.
Thank you so much! It means so much. :D
I would love to grab the game in the next wave but hopefully there will be expansions available!! Theres nothing more lovely than expansion!
Heck yeah! We are going to do a kickstarter and maybe release and expansion..or two. ;)
That's an awesome story! Glad to hear you accomplished that dream! The game looks great and the concept is somewhat similar to my first board game prototype. I shelved mine though but after a few other prototypes I finally am moving towards publishing one of my games. Listening to your video and from my experience I'd say doing it with someone and not alone makes a huge difference in whether the project can actually see the sight of day. I hope the game goes back on sale and you get to make some $$ of of it still.
Thanks so much! :D
0:43 ololo intensifies
XD
with the whole covid situation going on have you considered turning this into a video game?
Possibly in the future!
YES YES YES!
As of right now, no. The technical side of making this an online game with ai is just more than we can handle right now. But if our Kickstarter does well then maybe we can release it on table top simulator.
i thought of that aswell
@@Goodgis Oof!
The initial concept reminds me a bit of "Descent: Journeys in the Dark". A great game, worth a look at if you haven't heard of it.
I really like what you made in the end! And a very inspiring story.
Thanks so much! :D
I started to make my own board game months ago , I thought that I wouldn’t finish it but I didn’t just finish my board game but I updated it too with like more than 250 cards made with the best quality drawings I could do and I’m so proud of me making it.
And yes I had two friends that played with me and none of them were forsed.
Goodgis: "Pick up your meeple,"
Google Voice-To-Text: "Pick up your meatball,"
LOL
*Another great video by the one and only Goodgis!*
Too bad there's only 30 copies of the game left, because I think it has potential.
The Keeyp shall return. :D
I would love to get my hands on a copy of this, if there's ever a reprint!
This is the coolest idea for a board game I've ever seen! I'm working on my first fully-finished video game with a small team right now, but I've done a lot of small stuff for game jams before!
That's awesome! Best of luck to you!
Hey Goodgis! Will you be entering the GMTK's game jam? Also new vid HYPE
Sadly no. ;(
@@Goodgis I will
@Palnatoke Pawlovski Goodgis is a busy gis! *guy
“Fine, I’ll do it myself”
XD
The art for the game is amazing, I loved seeing the process for the cards, characters, box art, and other promotional things, would love to see more graphic design content in the future if possible, keep it up!
Glad to hear it! :D Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing your story. I had a similar experience with my friends, except the game failed to fund (for now). But we haven't given up (and never will) and will see the game to fruition, no matter how many years that takes
Thanks for sharing! :D
Would it be possible to make a print and play copy? (Like PDFs and stuff)
If you wanna make a profit you could sell a collection of PDFs with watermarks, or if you just wanna get it out there it could be free. Just an idea.
@@professorcabbage141 I'll talk to Goodgis about this.
@@FirithStudio awesome, glad I could help.
@@FirithStudio A cheaper print and play option sounds great once physical copies run out
That's an interested possibility. Maybe we could make that a stretch goal for our Kickstarter.
"how my school sold my board game" i fixed for you.
LOL basically
Hope there’s another printing! I’d love to get my hands on a copy. This video really inspires me, since I’m hoping to make my own game!
We want to!
loved this! curenly finishin my prototype. Might be ready today. Glad to have found your channel and this vid.
:D
First, I think that learning game design through board games is a great way to start, so as to get familiar with the fundamentals (e.g.: mechanics, rules, story if need be). It’s how I started learning. Second, although I really want to buy your game (I tried to), I can’t because shipping to Canada is pretty pricey (and that’s without the conversion to Canadian dollars) =_= .... Just know that if I could, I would because I love board/card games!Hopefully, you’ll be able to sell more one day and I can pick up a copy :D
Sign our petition to bring the Keeyp back! We might even release and print and play option. www.change.org/BringBackTheKeeyp
@@Goodgis Already did lol :p
Glad I got to see this video. I am in the play testing phase of my first prototype. I got in contact with local game devs in my area to try and playtest and get feedback on my game so hopefully this is the start to a new chapter
please do this again, this really made me want my own copy!!!
:D
This is the ''Don't murder your friendships' version of Betrayal at house on the hill.
I love it.
And that isn't gore haha
People like you inspire me. I'm making a card game called BIO WAR and am getting close to releasing it
This is really cool! In 2017 as an assignment in college we had to design and create a board game from scratch in 7 weeks. This video made me miss that project, it was really cool! Basically a MOBA - Capture the flag kinda thing. Might have to look into it again🤔
That's fantastic! :D
This appeard on my youtube home page this morning, really impressed, wanted to join the KS but its closed, not going to lie a little gutted as the art style looks fantastic!
Thanks so much!
The random maze and back stabbing reminds me of Wiz-War (one of my favorite board games).
Woah! Sounds sweet!
Sounds like a fantasy Betryal at the House on the Hill. Looks good. I like the art
It's not quite as dark, or complicated. Also it's more based on combat. But thanks! :D
I actually had almost the same idea for a game as you do. The dungeon building mechanics was very similar and everything, but it was actually more leaned to a more complicated rpg board game. As I never had the time to make this game come true and because you made a very similar game actually real, I totally want to buy a copy from you.
Check out the Kickstarter page. Maybe you can buy it soon.
That's awesome! :D We are releasing a Print & Play and online digital copy hopefully soon. :D
please start making more copys of it soon it looks cool
It might be a little bit as printing has been suuuuuper slow. But we are planning to release a Print & Play version soon.
I once made a simple multiplayer board game for my niece. Printed on two sheets of A4 photographic paper. I didn't know about vector graphic, so everything was horribly pixelated (I used Paint). The game was a blast. So satisfying for me, too :)
This seriously reminds me of a game called "betrayal at house on the hill" you explore a giant house getting items and loot, until the haunt is revealed. Once one player is revealed as the haunt, everyone has to work together(or in their own) to escape the house or kill the haunt. Their is tons of different haunts what can happen with a unique gameplay each time.
That game is sooooo spooky! haha
Watching the process of something always gets me inspired
Especially board and card games
Great vid
Thanks so much!
Thank you you inspired me to make a board game that’s still a work in progress called fight fight. It’s kind of like just rapid combat and hopefully whenever it comes out it will be amazing who knows if I get the main game and maybe some expansions fully created I might send some of them to you for you to enjoy.
That's awesome, and would be amazing! :D Best of luck to you!
@@Goodgis thx :)
basically what I wanna do right now, well...maybe whet I'm doing, because I already made some mechanic and rules.
I really love board game and making one is really a dream for me. I've made a "board game" before when I was a child, it just a paper where I draw a map/a circuit where me and my friend race on it. that time, I don't even know the term board game, the idea just come to my head.
super glad I found this video, really awesome and motivated. thanks for making this, and I would definitely get myself a copy of the Keeyp, looks super interesting!
I wish you the best of luck! :D
The mechanic of it being a co-op dungeon crawl up until you find the item at the end is very similar to an oop board game called Dungeon Run, was always a bit of fun.
Sounds cool!
Thank you for sharing your process and experience with making a board game. I was a bit inspired to continue creating a game I'm working on.
I think a cool feature to have would be to have blank cards which the users could themselves fill and add more expansion. This could possibly make the groups have that you know the 'In the group' things which they could talk about personally which can kind of set them apart from other players of the game while at the same time keeping the community alive. **I know I am a bit late but yeah**
That could be sweet!
This is a pretty inspiring. Creating a TTRPG and I loved seeing what your process was.
I just thinking about this kind of game,
but not sure if I need to invent this,
but luckily, I found this.
Thank you
Great job on the game! My tabletop crew gave it a test drive last night and everyone loved it!
Thanks so much! :D
in our country (slovakia) or other countries in europe we have a very similar game called "karak"
its not a popular game but its really good and the people who made it were also a couple of people who wanted to make a board game and made it happen
this game looks great, good job!
Nice!
This was such an amazing video! As a fellow Ohioan who's currently working on their first game (which is also a dungeon crawler), this was super inspiring and helpful! Keep up the great work! I'll definitely be picking up a copy of your game
Heck yeah! Ohio forever! haha
The art is awesome !
I'm curious about the gameplay, i've been working on a prototype with similar intentions.
Thanks so much! We'll eventually make a video on the gameplay.
I think i had the same reason why i started making my boardgame: i couldn't find anything similar to what i wanted to play. I'm making a game about pirates, but concentrated more on exploration (with the mechanic of all players making the map together, like your game or Carcassonne) and battles (with cards like in BANG!) and of course the one with more treasures wins. Simple, right to the core and fun. That's my idea of the boardgame i have in mind. I have 1 prototype and i play it with my friends sometimes. It needs more testing though to understand if it flows without breaking too much. I'm at version 4 i think. Now i have an intrusive thought that a friend told me about: you can't make boardgames without a mathematician, which it sounds to me like bonkers. I think you can make games with some basic knowledge on probability especially with a game with cards in it. But i think it's up to the maker to understand if it's the right amount of cards that players find and sift through them. I don't know. How did you manage that aspect?
Thank you so much for the tips!
I'm still in high school and I have tried making my own boardgame and videogame and I am now more inspired than ever because of these dev logs. Thank you haha
Go for it! :D
As someone who has been going through the undertaking of making my own roguelike board game, this video was really cool for me, since it showed me that the dream I have right now IS possible! This was a really cool video, keep up the great work, and I hope that The Keeyp makes it big someday!
Thanks so much, and also I wish you the best of luck. :D
if this had a solo mode i'd be all over it. "roguelite to board game" is something i frickin' love. there's a game called 'quest for the lost pixel' that might be my favorite board game of all time and it nailed the roguelite video game feel.
So inspiring
:D
I wish I knew about this sooner! This game looks awesome!
Thanks! :D
Thanks for the inspirations, I always wanted to make games and I constandly get more and more ideas for them. Anyway, great story. Thanks for sharing :D
I´m also in my final year of school, I guess it´s just the time where one wants to make games lol
Thanks! :D
Wow! I love the artwork!!! Good job
Thanks! :D
This is amazing. personally this is inspiring me to make a tower defense board game. Great job
That's awesome!
Once i tried to make a print and play, but i didn't got the support of friends, i can make it to a class project aswell, now with the corect support and interest of friends i thinki we are making some progress in board games experience. I really apreciate you sharing your story, as you say the time we share while creating is so wholesome.
Thanks so much! ;D
Your game looks awesome! Hopefully you get another print run so I can pick up a copy when the budget is as little better.

this gave me the idea to make a simple boardgame for this world ive been developing where animals fight in robot mech suits
That's awesome!
Man I want to see a vid of a full campaign of it, like what polygon does with board games
I'll keep that in mind. :D
looks really cool. i like seeing a game dev channel making a video designing a non video game. i love making ttrpgs & there's just so much space for games you can play without a computer
I definitely will make more. I made my own table top roleplaying game Snomes that I would love to chat about.
Man, that's awesome! I personally did a board game to play with friends, but never thought of releasing it, mostly because it was hand drown
That's sweet!
This just arrived a few days ago! Haven't played yet but I'm excited to try.
That’s awesome!
I've not heard of this game but it sounds so fun. I love Haunting at House on the Hill which sounds very similar, where you work together to explore the house in the first phase and the second phase it turns into a competitive gave with either PvP or pve. I'd love to try your game out to see how it compares as in my opinion the combat system in hill house is a little clunky
An time ago i wanted to do an board game, the idea was the same that you had, i never could make my game, but you made, exactly what i wanted, thanks.
:D
Wow, I had a very similar idea and it looks like you beat me by two years. D&D campaigns take so much time and effort to start, so I started making a D&D card game. Cards for characters, weapons, encounters, enemies, NPCs, items, etc., each with their own stats and effects. Then board cards for the dungeon so that a campaign builds itself. Players agree on a story card, each selects a character, and they progress through the game by adding a board tile and action card in turn. The action card (shop, encounter, rest, etc.) dictates what the players have to react to, and the player's character & collected item cards dictate how they can react.
