It was a big weekend at ! Designed 7 games with 7 strangers, playtested several games in various stages of development, even bought some art from an artist!

I am very excited for the new friends to design more awesome games with! It was a great time surrounded by some great folks. Can't wait for it to happen again next year!

If this is your first time here, then welcome! Currently Split Perspective Studios is 100% operated by me (Trevor Muller-Hegel) but my hope is to one day have a thriving community of designers who collaborate and create games together.

This Friday through Sunday (8/26/22 - 8/28/22) I will be at 2D Con in Minneapolis chatting with other designers, playtesting, and hopefully designing a couple games with folks! This will be the first time going to a convention since the start of the pandemic and I can't wait for the amount of nerdery I am set to experience!

Anyway, welcome to the space! I can't wait to get back in the seat.

Hey friend! I will be at 2D Con the weekend of the 26th here in Minneapolis! Can't wait to play some of these games and even make some new ones! Tabletop Terrace is a new event that is apart of 2D Con and is specific to board game designers and publishers. There will be demoing and playtesting for three days! Check it out if you're able!

Current List of accessible games:

Family Troubles
Designed with Lucy Maryn Hires, 2 player, 15 minutes, 1.0 complexity

Mind Flayer
Designed with Paul Hegel, 2-4 player, 30 minutes, 1.5 complexity

and possibly even...

HackerKit
Designed with Doug Dion! 2 player, 1 hour, 2.5 complexity

These games are not fully-fleshed out experience, but instead each one was made with either one or two decks of regular playing cards after one design session! All have been played a couple of times and there is a wide berth of experience to offer. Each one is available in Google Docs, so message either me or SPS if you would like a link to any or all of these projects!

I will also be returning Heroes: Born of Darkness to the world as I am pushing through the redesign prototype. I gotta say, marrying the original design with this new structure has been great so far. Fingers crossed it works!

Thank you, I hope all is well!
