Description At long last, the prototype of my very first game toy is finished! This is just a shot of the front of the box and the back -- the contents will remain a secret until the official debut.

Obviously still rough around the edges and not cellophane wrapped -- the mass production version will use lighter materials, won't have those kinds of visible tears and will have the cellophane wrap for protection. ^^

Thank you! It should look a lot like this one, but neater-looking and with cello-wrap. ^___^

hehe, I haven't decided on a price yet, but I want to aim it between the $30 and $40 USD range. Would still like to make it cheaper, but sadly there are a few components that take quite a bit of manual work to make (such as the TwiGun itself, which is "precision crafted" /sarcasm).

Dude I would pay 40$ for the game easily xD
I hope I can buy one soon, Gotta start saving up so I can snag one. It looks soo fun and my friends would love to play it with me i bet. This was a great idea you came up with and it actually looks like a real game board even the logo'd title. I cant wait to see what the game peices look like. did you make them all yourself?

Hey there. My, that's a nice OC. ^^

And thank you! Yesterday at my meetup, most people told me the same thing,... that my initial $30 USD price range was too low-balled, and that I should explore the $40 option. To be fair, there are some pretty intense manual processes involved (such as making the Twilight Gun itself), so I guess it's only fair.

Although it looks like a single player, it is in fact meant to be shared -- back at Bronycon, people had a blast with the carnival game version (despite being plagued with technical problems related to the cheap non-Nerf gun used then).

It's not technically a board game -- more like one of those novelty games that usually have some large fun gadget in them. But I WILL be working on a real pony-based board game next, and it'll be loads of fun for sure!

Everything about this one, though, is hand-made including the box and insets. The pieces two, although admittedly I didn't make the cups (just decorated them). :3

Thank you > u o
Well it sounds awesome really, i do agree that 40$ should be the lowest you go for the game. I cant wait to see your next one if it will be a board game, but im still gonna buy this one cause it sounds so fun. Man i wish i could of went, then i could of played it even if it wasnt perfect. Hope everything goes well for you!

also i think its amazing how you make everything yourself, other than the cups hehe.

Thank you so much. ^__^

Yes, as of right now the first retail copy has been built and shipped off. Wish I had taken some pictures (so you can see it with cello wrap), but there's plenty more where those came from, so lots of opportunities later.

Besides, I want to get these finished so I can return to my poor comic, I neglected it all week trying to get Changeling Challenge finished. XD

And well, before the cups I had thought of making my own targets using heavy paper; but this was before I decided to go with Nerf. Due to the shear ripping power of the dart, I needed something sturdier and cost effective, and ultimately the little plastic shot glasses one the day. ^____^;

The instruction sheet is similar (although not AS silly), so hopefully you'll see pictures of the content as well in time.

haha, I almost didn't... today I woke up with the worst back pain in living memory, it was horrible... XD

But yeah, even if I come in with a cane, I'll bring it.

Just bear in mind, I'm likely not gonna stay for the whole thing.

Kayy. <3 I will thank you for pushing through the pain to bring us smiles. Even if for just a moment.

woohoo...

I just wish I could have gotten to the board game, that one would have brought in LOADS of smile (being a 4-person game and all). This one is just a Nerf Gun decorated with a pony skin, some cups and a fancy box.

Pssh, way to talk up your product. What you meant to say was:

"
This fun packed friendship train to painville will keep you and your friends entertained for hours. Cup blasting sugarcoated pony mayhem packed in a convenient storage box. Do you have what it takes to protect Miniquestria from Changeling Doom?


DO YOU!?"

haha, technically it is "finished" in that the development work is all done. Now begins the replication, and that has no set end date cause I'll make as many as the demand calls for. So far I have 3 orders, so that's what I'll be working on.... I have enough material for about 30 right now. ^___^
