Hey all,
I've been working hard to launch a dice game that my daughter invented and I'm to the final stage - retail packaging. To help finance I've entered a contest to win some funds.
If you would consider voting for my wish I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

I voted. Could we get a movie of gameplay or more information. I'm intrigued and didn't really see more info on the site.

Wow! I really didn't anticipate the reception. Thanks folks! I guess that's why I'm still poking around in here even though I'm so slammed I have almost no time to think lately and have had to shelve my arcade stuff for the time being.
Now I'll have to find a way to change the typo in my subject.

I do have a poor game play video that we shot almost a year ago. The two kids in the video are playing it for the first time. I'm going to get some better video and put it on the site. It's just a matter of finding the time. The website is up but just barely. I have a couple of retail stores that have already agreed to carry it and I need to have at least a rudimentary site in place. It's a serious work in progress. Along with this comes LinkedIn, YouTube, Pintrest, Facebook, Google+ and a million other things. A ton to do and learn but certainly rewarding. The coolest part is getting to really be a part of my kid's life.
The video is in my public dropbox. I think. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59995256/VIDEO0023.3gp

We also recently auditioned for a new reality show similar to Shark Tank. Even if this goes nowhere, my daughter got to experience something that she'll remember for the rest of her life. It's all good.
Thanks everyone!

I think the votes get tallied in May but I'll have to check on that.

This place amazes me. And I mean that, seriously. Saint, you are a saint.
Now back to creating content and learning how to do all this stuff. Hey, I built a few MAME rigs. I can do anything!

On a side note, how's the pastry business?

It's going. All word of mouth right now since I've stopped advertising it while I get this project up and running. We're waiting for my parents to move closer so we can open up a larger commercial kitchen. It's been really hard to have the two main bakers living 3 hours apart. I really got my shipping process nailed and I think I picked up my first corporate client for next December's Holiday baskets.

Dervacumen · « **Reply #29 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:28:48 am »

This is awesome. I can tell you all she's getting a kick out of this, watching the votes go up every day. I should be getting my custom dice here in about 4 weeks and that's the last piece to a complete finished retail product. I've considered a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to get the retail artwork / packaging done. I just don't have the capacity to mess with it myself.
Thanks again for all your voting. What a kick!

Hoopz · « **Reply #30 on:** April 25, 2013, 10:38:45 am »

Bump. Let's go peeps. She needs our votes still!

Ive lost count of how many times I voted.

So here's the thing. I've put this out to exactly three groups. My wife's Facebook, My sister's Facebook, and here. I would bet, and I may actually tally this, that BYOAC is responsible for over half of the votes so far. I think I know why - and it makes me smile. We always want the high score, don't we?

Thanks again! We are having a lot of fun.
