I’m currently working intensively on three games, with three additional requests waiting in line.

This year, I’ll most likely have a children’s game published—expected around late March or early April. It’s a simple, cooperative card game based on music and rhythm.

The game will primarily be for ages 6 and up, but there will also be a modified version for 4-5-year-olds. In the past few weeks, I’ve been fine-tuning the two-player variant, and next week, I’ll finalize the rules before moving into production preparation.

It will be locally manufactured in a smaller print run, which means that if everything goes well, it can hit the market fairly quickly.

The second game is a castle-building, cooperative game, developed as part of a very specific commission with a complex historical background. While the historical details aren’t my responsibility, the game mechanics still need to align with them.

I’ve already gone through a few presentation rounds, but I don’t yet have a version that both meets the client’s expectations and is ready for testing—so there’s still plenty of work to do here as well.

The third game is a drafting and memory-based children’s game with incredibly cool illustrations.

I actually approached a specific illustrator to see if they’d be interested in collaborating on a game with me—one we could try to bring to the international market—and luckily, she said yes.

I’ve had over 20 games published in Hungary, but now I get to relive that mix of fear and excitement as I present my idea to publishers who don’t know me, haven’t published anything from me, and where I have no established name.

But I have to try. The Hungarian market is too small—there’s simply no way to sell enough games here for royalties alone to be a sustainable income.

Once I finish any of these projects, one of the three waiting commissions can move forward.

All three came from personal outreach—two from fellow game designers and one from an illustrator. Each request is an honor, and I’m genuinely excited about all of them. I hope I can get to them soon, as each would be an exciting new direction in my career.
