All that work and there's still a typo on the first sentence, second page.

#4$69 for 1 yr of a .com domain? You need to shop around more.
But pretty inspiring! Good looking game!

#5As a huge board-gamer, I always love seeing the "making-of" of different games, and this one is no exception. I especially thought the prototype was pretty hilarious, but it definitely makes sense to have one when working with a physical product.
I'm not too surprised at how much the costs ended up turning out to be, but I am curious as to how long it took to assemble everything together, from prototype to finish? I guess the main difference for a physical product is really the time it takes to get from prototype to sellable product, rather than just hacking something out in a weekend and getting it out there immediately.

#6I liked this article and would like to see more like it. With the maker movement, Kickstarter, 3D printing, etc there now seems to be a lot more interest in making physical products. But the isn't a lot of public information about the costs and processes involved, compared to say the number of tutorials on how to build web app or a mobile app.
I noticed that the actual cost of the 'product' is less than 40% of the total project costs. And labour isn't even factored in.
I was just involved in making a small injection molded part. I was surprised how easy and inexpensive it was. For all the hype 3D printing is getting, I think there could be lots more businesses in making injection molding more accessible.

Maybe he bought it from someone else or paid for multiple years.

Even with you pointing it out, I had to read the sentence twice to find it.

#9Awesome! (purchased) I've been reading about game design and playing with ideas myself. The prototyping was _this_ past Christmas? So you went from concept to sales in three months!? That seems fabulous. Congrats.

$69 is the standard cost to backorder an expiring domain at namejet etc.
