Episode 305: Bill & Scott, BSGames
Manage episode 431374626 series 2799865
BSGames is a collaboration of 2 longtime friends who share a similar passion for gaming but different outlets for their creativity. Scott asked Bill for his graphics expertise to make an educational tool look better, and they realized together that they had the potential to make some really cool stuff. Thus, the idea of BSGames was born.
About Bill:
Bill’s love of art and design drew him to the Humber College Advertising and Graphic Design program. After graduating, he mostly did art projects for his interest, while working at Games Workshop. There he used his skills for some graphic and art projects, including a satirical magazine with Scott. This began a long-standing relationship of mutual benefit, as Bill could create Scott’s ideas graphically, and Scott could help Bill develop his ideas grammatically.
About Scott:
Already a fan of science fiction and fantasy, Scott was introduced to the larger world of gaming when he first played Dungeons and Dragons at age 9. In high school he discovered Warhammer 40,000, and eventually found employment with Games Workshop in Canada where he met Bill and began a partnership in creativity. There he combined his interests in games and words by editing promotional materials and creating games for events such as Games Day and the local Conflicts.
Sinoda:
Sinoda is an abstract strategy game for 2-6 players in which players attempt to win by taking each other’s pieces. However, it’s not the number of pieces that matters, but the point value of those pieces. Sinoda is available for preorder here: https://bsgames.ca/product/sinoda/
