In The garden - Photo: dodoland.ru In The Garden  -  Photo: dodoland.ru I made an interesting discovery today: the Kingdom will not be ready if I do not work on it. :-P Life is like a board game, but much less fair. Especially in time schedules. The streets have been decorated with Christmas lights weeks ago, people are walking by with beautifully wrapped presents and I haven't even started the preparations! I am troubled with designing the Kingdom game. I loved so much the games we published this year that it is a real challenge to focus on a new one. The hipe of the sidetracked ideas and sketches grows continuously. I used to do a better job in the past, but I might have taken fewer duties. I must be crazy to start designing a new game in the holiday shopping season, but I am still chasing romantic dreams of Christmas just like a child. I don't have too many reasons for it, something has always overshadowed the holiday in the past four years, but I al...

The Bookshop • A könyvesbolt

I've been looking for the right place to photograph the Mysterious Library for a long time. There are many amazing libraries in the world, but I could hardly find anywhere photographing would be allowed. Fortunately, the best solution was just around the corner. Every Saturday, going to the market I pass by an antique bookstore. Every time I stop to do some window shopping. I don’t know, how could I forget it? …but this memory seemed to be deleted from my mind and only the rainy, foggy weather could recall it yesterday. I decided to ask permission and I got it! A thousand thanks to Klikspaan for allowing me to make my crazy idea to come true! :-) Régóta keresem a megfelelő helyszínt a Mysterious Library lefotózásához. Sok elképesztően gyönyörű könyvtár van a világon, de ezek persze földi halandók számára nem hozzáférhetőek. A legjobb megoldást persze az ember akkor sem veszi észre ha átesik rajta. Minden szombaton piacra menet megbámultam a sarki antik könyvesbolt kiraka...

It's freezing cold outside.... I thought it would be a heart-warming idea to share a couple of new pictures with you from the game I am working on. / Ha már ilyen hideg van, gondoltam megosztom veletek a készülő játékunk néhány részletét. :-)

Doggy weekend • Kutyás hétvége

Image
Our last weekend was dedicated to our Dogs&Homes game. We had a fantastic time with it and with our two dogs (Dana and Janka) around. Janka is almost seventeen and she could not be photographed. Although she is almost blind and totally deaf, she knows exactly when I intend to shoot a picture. She blinks, yawns or shakes her head always in the worst moment. Fortunately, Dana is different. She is a real diva: she can pose anytime, anywhere, because she knows she is beautiful. What is an advantage in photography is not good for her training process. She is extremely intelligent and knows exactly what she can(not) afford to do in certain situations. Unfortunately, she loves to mix up these occasions. There are only a few things she is not allowed to do, but she always wants to be sure if these rules are still valid or not. She has her own opinion, she talks back and loves herself deeply. All these things make our life funny and adventurous with her. Although we enjoy her u...

Kingdom - The Beginning • Királyság - a kezdet

Image
The newly released Marbushka games had big success this year. In our family, no other games are chosen when we have time to play. Unfortunately, there are less Marbushka games than winter days, so Bojana begged for me to design a new one for Christmas. She longed for a mysterious, exciting game with long playing time (never-ending if possible). Although I still kept the atmosphere of River and Glasshouse in my mind, I started to work right away. The essence of the tale is ready by now, but the rules of the game will certainly change a couple of details. After a short hesitation on the stereotypes (dragon, knight, castle and so on) finally, I had a much more original idea. A tale of a perfect kingdom formed in my mind, where chaos and hate never existed, and the evil (whose character has not decided yet) could only get the kingdom by stealing people's memories and even the ruler will not remember who s/he really is. So the story is about this ruler and his/her loyal friends who...

Glasshouse Animation • Mozi az Üvegházhoz

Image
Unfortunately, I still haven't found a good solution to make a “how to play” movie of the games in the quality I expect, so I continue my short animations that bring my favourite characters to life. I hope you will like this new one with Glasshouse . Arra sajnos még mindig nem találtam megoldást, hogy a játékszabályokat hogyan filmesíthetnénk meg azon a színvonalon, ahogyan szeretném, így maradok a kis játékaimnál, ezeknél a rövid hangulatoknál amik életre keltik a kedvenc szereplőimet. Remélem teteszeni fog az Üvegházhoz készített történet !

Everybody has a favourite river tile combination in our family. In my turn, I always put these pictures beside each other: :-) (River game) A családban mindenkinek vannak kedvenc összetartozó képei a River játékban. Ha én rakom ki a folyót ezek a lapkák mindig egymás mellé kerülnek: (A játék itt elérhető)

River • Folyó

Image
Our newly released game invites you to an expedition on the River . Many unknown creatures are hiding in the water and on the bank. The explorers need proper equipment and lots of luck to discover them. The race is hard for success, but the honour is for the one who publishes the most outstanding results at the end of the expedition. A funny and exciting game is waiting for you with surprising discoveries. From 6yrs and up. Legújabb játékunk kalandos expedícióra hív a Folyón . Sok ismeretlen életforma vár felfedezésre a parton és a vízben egyaránt. A megfelelő felszerelés mellé rengeteg szerencse is kell a sikerhez. A dicsőség azonban csak azé lesz, aki a legkülönösebb eredményeket publikálja az út végén. Vidám és fordulatos játék meglepő felfedezésekkel. Hatéves kortól… és még azon is túl!
