Looking for a developer to bring “Living Hell” to BGA

[Living Hell CG]

Hi everyone!

I'm the designer and publisher of Living Hell, a horror card game (LCG) that has recently been approved/licensed for implementation on Board Game Arena, and I'm looking for a developer who might be interested in bringing it to BGA.



We are a small independent publisher, and I can provide all the game assets and cards in digital format, in both English and Spanish.

I would also be directly involved throughout the development process. I'm happy to explain the rules in detail, answer any questions about card interactions or edge cases, and help extensively with testing and feedback.

One of the main reasons we're excited about bringing Living Hell to BGA is localization. We've had players asking for German and Italian editions, but as a small publisher, producing and printing physical editions in multiple languages isn't currently feasible for us. BGA seems like a great opportunity to make the game accessible to those players.

There is already a German video review in which the reviewer translates and explains all the cards in German. Those translations would need to be properly transcribed and reviewed, of course, but it could be a very useful starting point for a German localization:

As a small thank-you, I'm also happy to send a physical copy of Living Hell to anyone who meaningfully contributes to the BGA implementation, wherever we're able to ship directly. At the moment, I can offer this throughout Europe and the UK. Unfortunately, we don't currently have distribution in America or Asia.

So, in short, I can provide:

All graphical assets and cards (English & Spanish)
Full rules and direct access to the game's designer for any questions
Help with card interactions, edge cases, testing and feedback
A starting point for a German translation
A physical copy of Living Hell for contributors where shipping is available

If the game sounds interesting to you, I'd be very happy to talk about it and provide anything you need to evaluate the project.

Hi!
I'm an experienced developer and a game author, both of tabletop and digital games, but I've never published a BGA port before.
This is me: https://maurovanetti.itch.io
This could be a nice opportunity to refine my skills in the BGA ecosystem, I checked the rules of the game and it looks relatively easy to code, with a few interesting quirks.
Also, I can localise it in Italian (my native language) and I understand Spanish pretty well -- actually, I read the rules in the original version. My German is quite bad though.
Let me know more, if you wish (private message is fine too).
Hasta pronto.

Hi Mauro!

Thanks a lot for getting in touch. I had a look at your work and I’d definitely be interested in giving this a try with you.

I’m glad to hear you’ve already read the rules and had a first look at the game from a development perspective. And the fact that you can also help with the Italian localisation is a nice bonus!

This would be my first time bringing one of my games to BGA as well, so I’m also learning how the process works. I’d be happy to provide you with the game assets, rules, clarifications, and anything else you might need for the implementation, and of course to test the adaptation as it develops.

I’d be interested to hear how you’d approach the project and what you would need from me to get started.

Feel free to send me a private message and we can discuss the details there.

Hasta pronto!
