The Magnetmen were generated using DALL-E 3 image AI. If there’s one thing those AIs can consistently do, it’s combine physical resources (such as metal or wood) into coherent images of characters or poses! Everything else (assets, icons, rules, code, etcetera) is mine.
This game is the result of my never-ending search for games that are absolutely as simple and accessible as possible.
I asked myself: “could I make a One Paper Game where every turn is the same simple action? Cross out one square?”
I sought ways to get a fun and challenging game, while the rules are so simple they can be taught in 30 seconds. A game you can print a few times, take with you wherever you go, and play wherever you are.
Magnetmen was the first attempt. (Some other OPG games with that same idea are coming soon.)
To be honest, this game is so small and simple that I pretty casually worked on it in between much larger projects. The game was done within a few days. It almost feels like it just dropped into my lap. And yet, it works great, even better than I could’ve hoped for.
