Do you love board games? I do! But do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes? How do meet-up groups get organized? What is the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign? How do publishers get their games to market? How are people reaching their market in an ever more competitive market? What type of social media personalities are springing up in support of this industry? James interviews experts from across the industry and takes a peak under the hood in his quest to understand this far reaching community. Each episode is bite-sized, clocking in around 30 minutes, so you can take nibbles, or binge several episodes at once.

    Episode 332: Timon Thöne, Syncanite Games

    Timon is the author and designer of Syncanite Foundation, The Ultimate Strategy & Conspiracy Game.  Timon’s dream about Syncanite Foundation began back in 2010, when he decided to write a novel out of the childish dream to make a video game. He completed his novel in 2015, which became the foundation for a prototype of a visual novel in 2017 that he expanded in 2018 by adding 3D content, animations and interaction points through the use of Augmented Reality. For that, Arkanite Productions (how he was then known) won the Special Innovation Award at the Leipzig Book Fair in 2019. More prizes were to follow as he and his team of friends & nerds constantly challenged the limits of storytelling through technology.  Now the next natural evolution of his story takes root in a Syncanite Foundation the Ultimate Strategy & Conspiracy Game.
