Hyde & Peek is finally here! š
After a long journey of playtesting, tweaking, and fine-tuning, Iām incredibly excited to finally release Hyde & Peek! Some of you may remember the early prototype under the name Gƶmt & Glƶmt. If you liked it then, I'll love it now!
But thatās not the only update. In fact, a lot has been happening behind the scenes over the past year (or two!). Hereās a quick look at whatās new:
šØ A New Edition of Queteb
The original two-player pyramid-building game is back with an all-new visual design, a reworked rulebook, a fresh tutorial video, and a more refined gameplay experience overall.
š§āš» A New Website
Welcome! The site has been redesigned from the ground up, and youāre now reading this on the brand-new Babard Games blog, where Iāll be sharing thoughts on design, behind-the-scenes updates, and development progress.
š Switching to English
Going forward, most content will be in English. It wasnāt an easy choice, but as most of the board game world operates in English, it makes sense for reaching players and collaborators more broadly.
š¶š» A New Family Member
On a more personal note, Iām now a proud father of two! Balancing game design and parenting is a challenge, but itās also a huge source of joy and inspiration.
šøšŖ A Reworked Production Chain
My games are now even more "Made in Sweden" than before. Iāve shifted to a new production setup that emphasizes local materials and suppliersāsomething Iām very proud of.
Whatās Next?
Iāve already started developing a new game (of course!). But this time, Iām doing something different: Iāll be sharing the process as I go.
The plan is to post development updates every other week right here on the blog, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. Whether itās sketches, prototypes, failed ideas, or small victoriesāI want to bring you along for the ride.
Letās see how that goes š
Over and out,
