Welcome to the Mensabellum Games website.
There’s very little to see right now as, in the same way we build our games, the website will be updated gradually over time. But you can read on for some more info on what’s to come.
AI Images
Anyone with a keen eye will spot some issues with the logo and artwork we’re using at the moment. That’s because this whole project is self funded, so we can’t yet afford an artist or graphic designer. We also haven’t finished painting the models we’re using for play testing, so can’t get any decent photos yet that represent what we’re hoping to create.
To that end, we’ve decided to use AI images as a placeholder in the short term. Once we’re close to completing our first full rule book, we’ll replace these with photos and, if we can afford it, real artwork by real people. We won’t publish AI images in any of our products.
What We’re Currently Working On
For the past couple of years, we’ve been gradually designing and building a system that allows us to produce a range of table top war-games spanning various era’s and settings.
In the last couple of weeks we completed work on the 0.1.5 update to our core rule set. The update tweaked some of the rules around our morale system as well as movement in certain scenarios. All being well we’ll be play testing these changes next Wednesday.
We’ve also finally settled on a name for our game system: Strifebound. You wouldn’t believe how long we spent working on that alone…
But that does allow us to give a name, and thus life to our first game. However, we’re not announcing that just yet. You’ll have to sign up to our news letter to find out more!
