I truly believe we did everything we possibly could to make this game great.

Haven't had a lot of time to sit down and rewrite backyard this week but we had a quick jam on playtest feedback so far

Here's the unordered list of changes were going to try

the big decision facing backyard right now
November 17, 2025 at 4:11 PM
An important point is the social component that has only grown over the past decade. There is a cohort of younger players who play to hangout with friends and are unlikely to play alone, even if it regards the same game.
More players in the UK (58%), US (65%), Germany (60%) and Japan (63%) still prefer Singleplayer games over Multiplayer games.

Younger people are more likley to choose MP games.

after 3 playtests for my Zine Month project, here's some things that keep popping up

- some control around neighborhoods/areas
- more flavor from factions
- some other way to do scoring
- ways to go "deeper" into lore of locations instead of creating new ones

ever have a game mechanic idea that terrifies you a bit?
