It's been wonderful to hear from folks who play MIRU early in their solo journey. I tried really really hard to make it approachable. Most people play video games solo. This is so very much similar but, that analog touch really takes you somewhere else.

Everything is just shapes. Don't draw eyes or a nose or ears. Draw the shapes that make up those pieces. It sounds so dumb. But I promise it's like the secret key to everything. (Getting good at recognizing and drawing those shapes is another thing) But looking for those shapes is key to growth.

Y'all really liked this one! Can I ask other solo players? What's your setup? There's no visual in the rulebook and this is where I've landed. 4 characters, 4 hands like so. I play a card just above each charactr to keep track. Chapter, lost card, and deck off to the left. First player coin shifts.

Fun photoshoot hour for the pins. Gonna bundle em on the site. I keep making them in batches of 300, but I've sold like 5 in 2 years. 😭😭 I wanna be in the pin game so badly. They're so fun!
(The logos for Elseware could be great pins!)

Added some arrows to this one. Also started applying the logos to their company cards. These hold player's investment coins. (Easily shows who is in control of the company) Goes bankrupt? It flips to the grey side. I think it looks like a punch card. 4 visits for a free ice cream! Haha. #boardgame

Had to do a little photoshoot for the kickstarter update (and to update the product photos on the mimic site) I always have fun with the photos. High ISO gives em a nostalgic feel right out of the camera. Books you discovered in your childhood. The adventures and wonders are still there.

The digital edition of MIRU 3 is here. It took big guts to take that first step out into the wilderness to kill a god. In Miru 3 you will take the final steps of that journey. Will you hold the head of a god in your hands? or will you die defending your friends?

Adam Atom. A very special company. Somehow they're able to bend the world to their will. Why they're wasting their talents on the delivery business, i'll never understand.

weakest one I think. I like the idea of the little cell thing. Tricky to get the type right and it all fit together.

Night Shift LLC. This company thrives working the final shift of each round. The bump in the night is just them moving goods for the people who need it.

I like the motion in this one. Angel Miners LLC bring the blessing of being able to build tracks through mountains for much less than their competitors. (they're drills in the bg?) idk.

Box Bunny hops onto the scene. This company may look cuddly, but they're not afraid to undercut their competitors and leap over the corpses of their competition. They bring the speed and the mean. They're here to scrap if you've got the cash.

Now that the icons are mostly figured out, it's wordmark time. 10 distinct companies, but with a matching vibe. We'll see how close I can get. First up, Twin Flags International. A bustling startup aiming for global dominance.

One of the things that I can add (because it's true of any design work) is that everyone should try to reduce how much their design depends on explanations. The design should aim to reduce the cognitive load through the affordances of the medium.
