Winds of Numa Sera
Winds of Numa Sera is a fantasy series that began as a graphic novel and has now been transformed into an immersive board game.
Overview
"While Winds of Numa Sera began as a graphic novel (published by Dark Horse Comics), we had always envisioned our story existing in more than one medium. And so, after five years of development and playtesting, the board game is finally ready.
Winds of Numa Sera is an engine-building strategy board game, featuring multiple win conditions and four asymmetrical kingdoms to play as and customize."
Development
The story of our cooperation with the creators of Winds of Numa Sera
Our initial involvement
Gábor became one of the testers who were tasked to ensure the quality of the "final version" of WNS the Board Game.
After a thorough testing period with a dedicated QA team (Kicktester) a conclusion was drawn, that there were many under developed areas in the game. As an adaptation of a comic book it needed much more flavour and faction asymmetry, that Gábor brought attention to.
Re-Design and Balance
In the early stages of the redesign he worked closely with Morgan Rosenblum, the creator of the comic book as well as with Patrick Brennan who was a part time member of the project, and who was the one who have provided the initial development groundwork for the game.
As he became part of the team his guidance and developer comments slowly became the cornerstones of redesign.
Having proven his skills in the QA team and then on the re-balance he was given a chance to focus all efforts in the re-development as well.
