Holy heck, board game dev logs are criminally underrated and we need more documentation on the creation of them. Thank you!
Thanks so much! :D I'll keep that in mind.
Gotta make a video when mine is published then ;)
@@cecillewolters1995 Definitely! What is it about?
@@desdevie9476 Multiple games hahaha
But the first one is a game in which you need to take your flag back from the opponent and bring it back home. They do the same of course.
It can be played with 2 to 4 persons, video's will be made about this and the whole proces ;)
Hmm I’m working on one. Should I film it?
"Things on the market weren't enough for me, so i decided to make my own game"
This sounds like the backstory of a forever DM in DND
:D
I'm pretty sure that's exactly Matthew Mercer's backstory
That’s more or less what happened to me. The Mercer syndrome got to me, so I decided to try to become mercer
oh no
I thought this happened like, recently, not 2/3 years ago.
LOL
Well for me this is six years then
Holy crap that was the most impulse-ass buy I've made in my life.
This is awesome stuff dude! The video was super inspiring, and then the moment you said you didn't have much left in stock, I made a mad dash to the checkout haha.
I'm moving soon, and I can't wait for this to be the first game I play with my new roommates!
Best of luck with your future projects!
yeah this looks awesome! also, you have a great channel
Hey bro.
Ayyye, thanks so much! :D
Of course I come across this a week later when it's sold out :P
pls dont say Holy in vain 😁
This is super inspiring because I’ve always wanted to publish a board game and I’ve worked on many throughout the years but I always stopped development. Now I’ve been slowly crafting one, making it a part of my routine everyday, and I’m loving the process more than ever. Thanks for sharing!
That's awesome! I wish you the best of luck.
Beesechurger what are you doing here!
я, школьник, тоже настольные игры делаю и без инструкций
могу самую лучшую рассказать во всех подробностях если вам интересно
правда я ихне продаю
I cannot explain just how much I love the art for the game. It’s wonderful!
Thanks so much! :D
@@Goodgis just asking but did u print the cards or made them out of paper and what software u use
@@gamingahmedrobot7293 I think it says in the video, he does use a software though
@@gofferegg yes I figured it out a year ago
@@gamingahmedrobot7293 yeah but what does he use
I would really love to buy a PDF and print myself. I live outside of the US and the shipping is really expensive :(

ANOUNCEMENT! Grab your copy of The Keeyp: Print & Play Edition today:
firith.itch.io/the-keeyp
Signed! Please re-print this game, it looks so fun!
113 signed at the time of writing this! keep signing people!
If this game comes back, would it be available worldwide?
Signed!
Looks great. Can u pls upload a rundown of a round? Or are the rules uploaded somewhere?
You should officially bring it to tabletop simulator, i feel like that would be a big advert for the game
We are trying too!
Great video as always Goodgis! I still think back to those days in college, working like crazy to finish everything for The Keeyp and for school. Thanks to everyone who made the Keeyp possible. It was fun while it lasted! 😁 On to the next thing!
Could you please find a sponsor to print and ship the game. I really liked the board and want to play it but I live in Europe :(
where can i ind your profile photo? goodgis uses it also
@@ottar0428 we are trying to bring it back for everyone, but we need to get some people behind us. Sign our petition at: www.change.org/p/firith-bring-back-the-keeyp-board-game
@@Andxxd our profile photos our from our indie game studio, Firith. They each match our fun names and personalities.
But the Keeyp shall return. ;)
Man, you definitely need to reprint the game, and put it up again! This time with international shipping, so I can get one. 😃
International shipping!!! YESSS!!! Hope they do that... we need this game in korea :(((
We did have international shipping but people complained because it was so expensive. If the keeyp ever got big enough then we could justify having printers over seas but right now it's just too hard. The best way to support us right now is to sign our petition to bring the game back. www.change.org/BringBackTheKeeyp
@@Goodgis I would absolutely pay for shipping to Korea. It wouldn't be the first time I ripped myself off just to get something I really wanted. lol I signed the petition!
Ah!! This game looks just so beautifully elegant! That art style is absolutely delightful and the mechanics look so simple. Thank you for sharing how you started with notecards and frustrated family members. That kind of failure is what keeps holding me back from my own projects, so thank you for sharing this inspiring journey.
Thanks so much!
and my dream come true, a roguelike board game, i so excited to see this
Your wish is granted
*Roguelite
@@forg783 * Roguelike
@@barry5 *Roguelite
@@forg783 What's the point of correcting it tho?? Isn't roguelite a form of roguelike, just not that hardcore? It's a sub category, not a completely different thing. You are basically correcting someone for calling an apple a fruit.
I came here just to say that the thumbnail for this vid is so damn C R I S P Y
Thanks so much!
I HAVE THIS!!!!!
:D
i thought this said “I hate this”
@@too-many-choices Oof
I NEED THIS!!!
@@too-many-choices Same
Tbh, if you charged more, I’m sure it would’ve been a success! Even at $35-40, it would do amazing
Thanks so much! :D
Aaaaawh, I can't believe I didn't get this video recommended to me while the Kickstarter was live! It looks great, loved seeing the development.
It shall return!
Why does TH-cam recommend this to me know when it's impossible to get except print and play? Man, it looks pretty great. Nice work on rolling up your sleeves and just saying, "Guess I'll have to do it myself!"
There isn't even a physical copy on eBay.
You always give me inspiration to keep on making games.
THANK YOU!
I make games to support goodgis's amazing work. He honestly deserves it. Plus, it needs to be recorded somewhere-- first roguelike boardgame ever created.
That makes me so happy to hear! :D I believe in you!
Super sad I missed it, hopefully, you'll do another run someday!!

We're doing another run! www.kickstarter.com/projects/firithstudio/the-keeyp-roguelite-board-game
I am working on a micro TTRPG that I am hoping to have finished by the end of the year. It is shocking how quickly and slowly a game comes together. It is an exciting thing to work on.
That's awesome! :D Best of luck to you!
Wow this is incredible! It's so well made, I loved the artstyle
Thanks so much! :D
This looks like a super cool game! It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite board games I’ve ever played, betrayal at the house on the hill. It shares a lot of the same core mechanics, like the two stages where it starts friendly then people turn on each other, and also the system of building the board. If you are interested in or like this game I would def recommend betrayal at the house on the hill.
It's too spooky for me. I played it once and never again haha
I love the idea that I started working on my boardgame like 1-2 weeks ago, from ideas on paper to prototypes, play testing it over and over. This video got recommended to me and I'm so happy and excited to see others go through the same problems as me with establishing the rules for the game and how stuff interacts with each other!!
Sometimes youtube algorithm can be a blessing in the sky
I reaaaaaally love the art of this boardgame!!
Thanks! :D I had a blast working on it!
I'm actually planning to create a board game from the indie game I'm making at some point.
Go for it! :D

Indie boardgames developers union?
loved this! curenly finishin my prototype. Might be ready today. Glad to have found your channel and this vid.
:D
The art for the game is amazing, I loved seeing the process for the cards, characters, box art, and other promotional things, would love to see more graphic design content in the future if possible, keep it up!
Glad to hear it! :D Thanks so much!
I NEED TO GET THIS! Good luck finding a publisher. This looks awesome

Can I just say how much I appreciate (as an almost compulsive, perfectionist designer myself) seeing how meticulously you arrange all the elements with correct spacing using the align option and they all have the same stroke width? Because with all the designers/game developers on TH-cam/Kickstarter and such, it's all too rare to see this attention to detail, so I want to mention this quality - I really appreciate it! 👌
This time invested by you alone should be reason enough for a re-release for The Keeyp.
Okay, designer-nerd-talk over. Great job! 😅
If you're ever interested in a German localisation - I'd be happy to support you, even if it might be a bit difficult (but not impossible) to translate all wordplays as such.
Thanks so much! That always means a lot! :D
That's an awesome story! Glad to hear you accomplished that dream! The game looks great and the concept is somewhat similar to my first board game prototype. I shelved mine though but after a few other prototypes I finally am moving towards publishing one of my games. Listening to your video and from my experience I'd say doing it with someone and not alone makes a huge difference in whether the project can actually see the sight of day. I hope the game goes back on sale and you get to make some $$ of of it still.
Thanks so much! :D
Awesome to hear about your game and how you made it with friends! It kind of reminds me of a game I played a while ago called betrayal at house on the hill.
Yeah! I've played that before. It does have a couple similarities. Thanks so much!
0:43 ololo intensifies
XD
I'm making a boardgame myself right now, so this makes me feel like I can actually finish it. (It's a foursquare game by the way)
Im making a Game too
Go for it! :D
@@Goodgis Well i cant... Im Just 13 years old and im from Germany. But i Made Lots of Games and also a German Version of the keeyp :D. But when im older i will try to publish sind of my Games. And thanks that you believe in me 🙂
@@nilsjonas3677 I think he was talking to the original commenter...
I made my own cardgame a few years ago from a idea workshop I attended. During our final presentation, one of the judges was from a government company that will give seed fundings to startups, and he was excited about my game. Fast forward to almost 7 years now, I never really did pursuit the cardgame. But, within that 7 years of gap, I did get my friends to playtest my mockup and prototype. I think I just might get back on it. I'm also working on converting an existing fighting game into a tabletop style cardgame fighting. It will be shortlived but I am hoping to make it into trial for the real game devs of the existing fighting game to play it. Thanks for making this video, and wish me luck!
As someone currently making a Board Game/Card Game for fun this is has been a good inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
I can proudly confirm that I've been a part of a petition to revive an amazing brand you offer us.
Thank you so much! It means so much. :D
The description of "Fight monsters, level up, and get gear" sounds like Munchkin :P
Haha!
The initial concept reminds me a bit of "Descent: Journeys in the Dark". A great game, worth a look at if you haven't heard of it.
I really like what you made in the end! And a very inspiring story.
Thanks so much! :D
Thanks for sharing your story. I had a similar experience with my friends, except the game failed to fund (for now). But we haven't given up (and never will) and will see the game to fruition, no matter how many years that takes
Thanks for sharing! :D
with the whole covid situation going on have you considered turning this into a video game?
Possibly in the future!
YES YES YES!
As of right now, no. The technical side of making this an online game with ai is just more than we can handle right now. But if our Kickstarter does well then maybe we can release it on table top simulator.
i thought of that aswell
@@Goodgis Oof!
I wish my school experiences were like this.
They can be. ;)
;)
;)
This appeard on my youtube home page this morning, really impressed, wanted to join the KS but its closed, not going to lie a little gutted as the art style looks fantastic!
Thanks so much!
I would love to grab the game in the next wave but hopefully there will be expansions available!! Theres nothing more lovely than expansion!
Heck yeah! We are going to do a kickstarter and maybe release and expansion..or two. ;)
*Another great video by the one and only Goodgis!*
Too bad there's only 30 copies of the game left, because I think it has potential.
The Keeyp shall return. :D
Hey Goodgis! Will you be entering the GMTK's game jam? Also new vid HYPE
Sadly no. ;(
@@Goodgis I will
@Palnatoke Pawlovski Goodgis is a busy gis! *guy
This was such an amazing video! As a fellow Ohioan who's currently working on their first game (which is also a dungeon crawler), this was super inspiring and helpful! Keep up the great work! I'll definitely be picking up a copy of your game
Heck yeah! Ohio forever! haha
basically what I wanna do right now, well...maybe whet I'm doing, because I already made some mechanic and rules.
I really love board game and making one is really a dream for me. I've made a "board game" before when I was a child, it just a paper where I draw a map/a circuit where me and my friend race on it. that time, I don't even know the term board game, the idea just come to my head.
super glad I found this video, really awesome and motivated. thanks for making this, and I would definitely get myself a copy of the Keeyp, looks super interesting!
I wish you the best of luck! :D
Goodgis: "Pick up your meeple,"
Google Voice-To-Text: "Pick up your meatball,"
LOL
“Fine, I’ll do it myself”
XD
Thank you for sharing your process and experience with making a board game. I was a bit inspired to continue creating a game I'm working on.
You know, three years ago I came up with an idea for a game called Deeper Dungeons. It was a co-op card game, where you open doors to discover rooms, and each room has a chance to contain nothing, an enemy, or a treasure (draw from the item deck) The goal of the game was to get OUT of the dungeons by finding the set of stairs that were placed somewhere it the deck. I made it completely by hand, and still think about remaking it and publishing today. Inspiration: GOT.
Would it be possible to make a print and play copy? (Like PDFs and stuff)
If you wanna make a profit you could sell a collection of PDFs with watermarks, or if you just wanna get it out there it could be free. Just an idea.
@@professorcabbage141 I'll talk to Goodgis about this.
@@FirithStudio awesome, glad I could help.
@@FirithStudio A cheaper print and play option sounds great once physical copies run out
That's an interested possibility. Maybe we could make that a stretch goal for our Kickstarter.
"how my school sold my board game" i fixed for you.
LOL basically
Glad I got to see this video. I am in the play testing phase of my first prototype. I got in contact with local game devs in my area to try and playtest and get feedback on my game so hopefully this is the start to a new chapter
Watching the process of something always gets me inspired
Especially board and card games
Great vid
Thanks so much!
This is a pretty inspiring. Creating a TTRPG and I loved seeing what your process was.
This is the coolest idea for a board game I've ever seen! I'm working on my first fully-finished video game with a small team right now, but I've done a lot of small stuff for game jams before!
That's awesome! Best of luck to you!
I would love to get my hands on a copy of this, if there's ever a reprint!
This is really cool! In 2017 as an assignment in college we had to design and create a board game from scratch in 7 weeks. This video made me miss that project, it was really cool! Basically a MOBA - Capture the flag kinda thing. Might have to look into it again🤔
That's fantastic! :D
I actually had almost the same idea for a game as you do. The dungeon building mechanics was very similar and everything, but it was actually more leaned to a more complicated rpg board game. As I never had the time to make this game come true and because you made a very similar game actually real, I totally want to buy a copy from you.
Check out the Kickstarter page. Maybe you can buy it soon.
That's awesome! :D We are releasing a Print & Play and online digital copy hopefully soon. :D
Great job on the game! My tabletop crew gave it a test drive last night and everyone loved it!
Thanks so much! :D
I just thinking about this kind of game,
but not sure if I need to invent this,
but luckily, I found this.
Thank you
Hope there’s another printing! I’d love to get my hands on a copy. This video really inspires me, since I’m hoping to make my own game!
We want to!
As someone who has been going through the undertaking of making my own roguelike board game, this video was really cool for me, since it showed me that the dream I have right now IS possible! This was a really cool video, keep up the great work, and I hope that The Keeyp makes it big someday!
Thanks so much, and also I wish you the best of luck. :D
please do this again, this really made me want my own copy!!!
:D
please start making more copys of it soon it looks cool
It might be a little bit as printing has been suuuuuper slow. But we are planning to release a Print & Play version soon.
I'm still in high school and I have tried making my own boardgame and videogame and I am now more inspired than ever because of these dev logs. Thank you haha
Go for it! :D
Amazing job and game guys! You are living the dream.
First, I think that learning game design through board games is a great way to start, so as to get familiar with the fundamentals (e.g.: mechanics, rules, story if need be). It’s how I started learning. Second, although I really want to buy your game (I tried to), I can’t because shipping to Canada is pretty pricey (and that’s without the conversion to Canadian dollars) =_= .... Just know that if I could, I would because I love board/card games!Hopefully, you’ll be able to sell more one day and I can pick up a copy :D
Sign our petition to bring the Keeyp back! We might even release and print and play option. www.change.org/BringBackTheKeeyp
@@Goodgis Already did lol :p
if this had a solo mode i'd be all over it. "roguelite to board game" is something i frickin' love. there's a game called 'quest for the lost pixel' that might be my favorite board game of all time and it nailed the roguelite video game feel.
looks really cool. i like seeing a game dev channel making a video designing a non video game. i love making ttrpgs & there's just so much space for games you can play without a computer
I definitely will make more. I made my own table top roleplaying game Snomes that I would love to chat about.
This is amazing. personally this is inspiring me to make a tower defense board game. Great job
That's awesome!
Inspiring, awesome work! The graphics, everything. Really good!
Thanks so much!
This video reeaaaaalllly encourage me to did my own board game!Everytime I lost my motivation I just watch this video and getting motivated again!
Thanks for this video
I hope I have enough money to buy this :)
That's awesome! :D You got this!
Are you a rogue fan?
Great video! I missed the stock on this unfortunately but I hope the people who were able to get a copy enjoy!
I wanted to say I recently made a board game for my girlfriend and I to play as a birthday gift to her. It was super rough and homemade, definitely just a prototype, but I got a blank board game kit off of Amazon for about $23 with blank box, cards, a game board, a spinner, dice, and tokens. If you want to prototype a game or just make something fun for your friends and family, it's a super approachable price point and high-quality stuff.
That's awesome, and a great way to do it! :D Also you can sign our petition to bring the game back. www.change.org/BringBackTheKeeyp
Nice dude! Never saw one good table game like that!!
Thanks!
I wish I knew about this sooner! This game looks awesome!
Thanks! :D
Nice dude! Bought the game since it’s a rare supply can’t wait to show it to some friends
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much! :D
Thank you. I have been wanting to make a board game but I never had the confidence to make it and this gave me it. Again, thank you. ❤️
You can do it!
Wow! I love the artwork!!! Good job
Thanks! :D
Man, that's awesome! I personally did a board game to play with friends, but never thought of releasing it, mostly because it was hand drown
That's sweet!
Thank you you inspired me to make a board game that’s still a work in progress called fight fight. It’s kind of like just rapid combat and hopefully whenever it comes out it will be amazing who knows if I get the main game and maybe some expansions fully created I might send some of them to you for you to enjoy.
That's awesome, and would be amazing! :D Best of luck to you!
@@Goodgis thx :)
I started to make my own board game months ago , I thought that I wouldn’t finish it but I didn’t just finish my board game but I updated it too with like more than 250 cards made with the best quality drawings I could do and I’m so proud of me making it.
And yes I had two friends that played with me and none of them were forsed.
Once i tried to make a print and play, but i didn't got the support of friends, i can make it to a class project aswell, now with the corect support and interest of friends i thinki we are making some progress in board games experience. I really apreciate you sharing your story, as you say the time we share while creating is so wholesome.
Thanks so much! ;D
An time ago i wanted to do an board game, the idea was the same that you had, i never could make my game, but you made, exactly what i wanted, thanks.
:D
I can't believe I'm one entire year late to get this masterpiece. But I have to thank the algorithm for at least knowing it exists. You did an awesome game there!
in our country (slovakia) or other countries in europe we have a very similar game called "karak"
its not a popular game but its really good and the people who made it were also a couple of people who wanted to make a board game and made it happen
this game looks great, good job!
Nice!
Your game looks great and I really want to buy and bring it to France were we have a pretty large gamer community that would surely appreciate it !
I am really excited and looking froward to hear some news about that (yes I did sign the petition).
Also, this was an amazing video, you got yourself a new sub to the channel.
Thanks so much! We are working on a Print & Play option because shipping is like $50 right now. ;(
This was very insightful! Loved it!
me too
This is the ''Don't murder your friendships' version of Betrayal at house on the hill.
I love it.
And that isn't gore haha
You’re such a cool artist man) and I love the idea so good
Thanks so much! :D
thx for the amazing video it's inspired me to start working on my card game some more i just loved that inspiring video good luck with the keeyp 😀
Your game looks awesome! Hopefully you get another print run so I can pick up a copy when the budget is as little better.

I´m also in my final year of school, I guess it´s just the time where one wants to make games lol
Thanks! :D
This game seems amazing to play and would love to get it. I have one silly suggestion and that is to create a very limited card that is kinda op but as a collectable. Your game is awesome!
Oh, we are way ahead of you. ;) Sign our petition to bring the game back. www.change.org/BringBackTheKeeyp
This is literally the thing that I see and want while knowing nothing about it just looks amazing
:D
there was a board game that I can't recall its name. You build the entire map in stage 1 then when stage 2 triggers depending on some parameters of how stage 2 was reached the whole monster and mechanics of stage 2 would change, sometimes the bad guy is a zombie and turns everyone into a zombie, an other time the map would collapse, etc (I didn't get to play many renditions of it to comment)
My copy arrived today!! im so excited yo play it!
Super happy to hear! :D
So inspiring
:D
