Quin: The Journey

Birthing a new classic is like squeezing light from a prism.
Easy is in the eye of the beholder, anyway.

Now what can’t be denied, is that once your little alien logo-baby hatches, there’s no putting her back in the shell.  Look out world, we’re coming for your free time, 15 minutes per bag, and you won’t even know it’s gone until you’re knee deep in oddball strategy, stroking the back of your teddybear like you really do believe in Resurrection Totems after all.

This blog is going to document the strange journey of Quin’s creation, through Kickstarter, to world domination.  Come along with us.  It’s gonna be unforgettable.  We promise, if nothing else, never to be boring.

Late Pledges, Indiegogo & the Path Ahead

We’re launching Quin on Indiegogo Dec 15, taking Late Pledges and New Fans alike. Having funded with 116% on Kickstarter, there’s a lot less pressure on this next phase of the crowdfunding, and we’re excited to see both how the community grows, and if we can get our Backers any further discounts on Shipping for…

Campaign Diary

Well, that was definitely memorable. Welcome to the other side of it all. We took a few days to recoup, catch up a bit on the day jobs, and figure out where it all goes from here. Soon enough we’ll be in touch with backers, and putting out next steps. In the meantime, here’s a…

Lightning Strikes

We’re less than 1 WEEK to KICKSTARTER LAUNCH! Sign up now and share the link. Bring your own Totem when you come to play Quin, like you bring your poker face – like you bring your personality to the table. Quin is polished, unique and ready for retail, but it’s not complete until you sit…

All That Glitters

I’ve been an artist long enough to know how hard “Simple” can be. It’s not just killing your darlings, though that’s clearly a part of the struggle – the minimalist must be willing to sacrifice not just the fringes, the stuff that doesn’t quite work, no, the minimalist must be willing to sacrifice everything but…

Light Breathes – 9/30

We’ve wrapped the 3rd live-action shoot for the Quin Kickstarter Trailer. Our animator is getting some sweet takes on the 3D segment, and we’ve got a brilliant score under production. If you haven’t been watching our IG Stories @quinthegame, well now is a great time to tune in. As we hunker down into the weekend,…

Next Steps are Best Steps

Right now, things are flying past a bit too quickly to keep up with, but we’re doing our best, step by step. We’ve got a wall of project cards, and we’re lining them up and knocking them down. If you’re thinking of producing your first Kickstarter campaign, I’ll offer a first piece of advice: However…

Welcome to the 3rd Dimension

Something miraculous happened since the last time we spoke. It’s like when Pinnochio kept telling lies until he became a real boy, remember that? Well we kept dreaming about Quin, day and night breathing Quin, and then, all of a sudden, well it became a real game. It’s not like we didn’t expect it would,…

Our Little Shop of Horrors

So much news, it’s hard to know where to begin. We’re negotiating manufacturing, building Beta Sets, and working up new content daily. That cover image just came out this evening, and I couldn’t wait to share it. The first in a series of 3D renderings of the game, bringing you the very first official look…

It’s ALIVE!

Well, QuintheGame.com is LIVE as of 5/5/20.  This is a big move toward realizing the vision of this game, and we’re psyched to have you along for the ride.  Drop us a line via the contact link, or on the official FB and IG pages, and let us know what you think of the look! …

BYOW

Grab a cup of water and have a seat.  This is going to be hard, but we’ve got to start somewhere, and you probably want to be sitting down. No, stop, don’t drink it yet.  We’ll get to that, all in good time. See Quin began as a gem of an idea, a flicker of…
