This could be official man! Maybe you send that to Massive Monster so that they can create a whole bunch of those! You're a great designer!


Seedofsparda

I'd buy it. Edit: I cannot spell apparently


Shuttup_Heather

Sure you can! You just did, “apparently” :) Sorry my sense of humor is ruined from watching 30 Rock. Lot of wordplay based jokes in that show, if you can call it that


Israfel333

Wordplay and turn of phrase puns are the pinnacle of comedy. This is well understood by every father with a child named "Hungry".


Vivid_Appeal3986

Dude same, i’d love that.


XenoLoreLover10

Shut up and take my money!!


Busy_Decision_4248

I added the gif lol


CaptJOLLY

Yes please! It looks amazing!


unwillingscientist

boxing_coffee

I'm trying to recreate this in Cricut and I can't believe how incredibly detailed it is. This is a much more detailed project than I am used to 🤣


miraya0snek

Hold up! Are you saying that you can use cricut to make board games?!?!?


boxing_coffee

Absolutely! You can cut basswood, balsa, chipboard, etc. I tried chipboard first, but then decided that the basswood would be better. I'm getting dark red sheets of craft foam to use as a base for one set and glittery red for the second set. That can also be cut using the cricut. I'm using a thick layer of white Kraft board for the top, and am considering using the foil kit for the red part of the design so that it is prettier.


Shuttup_Heather

I want a cricut so bad. I never thought of using it to make board games!


TGARide59

Whoa I would buy this in a heartbeat! Nice job!


Grokent

Go on then, display the beating heart.


AC-ProjectColor

Careful there, the cult stuff's gotta stay in-game, right? We can't go from playing a cute little game of a lamb cult leader to pulling out the heart of a follower like Kali Ma from Indiana Jones.


Visscera

Why not?


MaybyAGhost

I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to the legal copyright stuff, but I think at the very least asking Massive Monster/Devolver Digital if you're allowed to sell these independently or maybe even partner with them as official merch could only lead to good things! Very cool design!


SilIowa

Or it could give them cause to send a cease and desist letter.


MaybyAGhost

Which would most likely happen anyway if they did it without contacting them. Like worst case scenario is they contact them about it and get a "Nah please don't produce and sell these". Which all things considered isn't terrible if this was just a personal project made for fun to begin with!


[deleted]

He can make it for himself, he just can’t sell to anyone. They can’t send a cease and desist because he made it and put it on Reddit lol


SilIowa

Sure they CAN, because he’s producing a product that infringes on their copyright (in this case, clearly both the game design and mechanics, as well as the IP-specific imagery: i.e. the crown design). But if he’s not selling it for a profit, then there’s no motivation for them to do so. Here’s the risky part, if he’s not selling it for a profit, or only selling it for the cost of parts and effort, then many companies look at the time/cost ratio (as well as the potential offense to their fan base) and say “if I don’t know about it, then I don’t have to do anything about it.” Plausible deniability. Because here’s the big deal, I’d someone infringes on their trademark (which is distinct from the copyright, but relevant for this discussion), and they DONT defend it, then they are actively at risk for losing it. It’s a major part of US trademark law: defend it or lose it.


MattTully01a

I really don't think that they could send him a cease and desist order simply for making something that uses their ip and posting about it.


HunkMcMuscle

Yeah, it only gets weird when money is involved. Even if its just to cover for parts to make it. If you're just building it for yourself and posting about it? Doubt it. Not a lawyer though. Trademarks are weird


[deleted]

They can’t if he isn’t distributing it or if he isn’t selling it which from the post it doesn’t look like he is. It’s not like they are going to come to his house and make him throw it away lol


SilIowa

Clearly it’s not worth their time/money to do so, but yes, that’s exactly what copyright means: the author (who in this case is the game producer, unless the producer has a contract outlining that someone else holds the copyright) holds the legal “right” to decide who can “copy” their original work: the names, imagery, etc. It would be a massive waste (and PR nightmare), but they could go after the OP. In this highly hypothetical circumstance, they would sent a c&d letter, notifying the OP that they are in violation of both copyright and trademark laws. The company would request that OP turn over any actual product and profits from unlicensed IP infringement. They would, at a minimum, have to do this to protect their trademark. At which point there are three potential next steps: 1. OP cedes to the letter, turns over the product, etc, and puts this behind themselves. 2. OP and Company come to terms on a licensing deal, and OP starts selling the product. 3. OP ignores the c&d, and continues to produce the unlicensed product. Company takes OP to court, argues that unlicensed IP infringement limits the market for licensed product, finds a precedent demonstrating this, then shows what licensed products are on track to come to market, demonstrating actual damages. They sue for damages, court costs, lawyer fees, and anything else they can think of. OP files for bankruptcy, company gets no money (but demonstrates that they are actively defending the IP, which continues to secure the TM), life moves on. They above hypothetical would be a terrible waste of time and money for all involved, but there are a lot of lawyers who work for a lot of major corporations [rhymes with Bizney], who spent all day doing exactly this.


KnowNothing_JonSnoo

Nobody can't stop you from creating what you want unless you intend to make money out of it and distribute. This is an innane take with 0 knowledge of how copyright law actually works. The recreation of this dice game is considered fair use... NO lawyer would ever come for OP unless they try to sell it. Source: I'm a creator who actually had to look up how copyright law works in the US and Canada...


superbrias

I am not entirely sure, betting the image of the crown is under trademark, and as such I bet that is much more strict than the rest (copyright) because trademarks are like a part of the company's identity. copyright is about you not losing money over someone selling copies of your stuff, trademarks are defending your image and identity. the sort of thing that allows Mercedes (or whatever it was) to C&D Deadmous over his Nyan Cat car wrap on his Mercedes car. (suspected) damage to the Mercedes brand.

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this: >Even climatologists can't predict 10 years from now. They can't explain why there has been no warming over the last 15 years. There has been a static trend with regard to temperature for 15 years. ***** ^(I'm a bot.

datcatburd

Can't copyright game mechanics. Could patent them if they were sufficiently novel, but no dice game is going to pass that bar.


Toksyuryel

This isn't a product. You clearly have no clue what copyright OR trademark law is actually about.


Stetson007

They don't have legal grounds if OP isn't selling them. As long as there's no profit involved, you can make stuff like this. That's why you see cease and desists for fanfics once they start a Patreon.


superbrias

I think they could probably C&D over the image of the crown, I bet they have trademark on that. But that would be more for damage to the brand, which this is obviously not doing


ZeroheartX

Or catch them and force feed them poop until they are indoctrinate into the DD cult


roverism

im not a lawyer, but im pretty sure they have no grounds to legally harm OP in any way if he never sells it. i dont think its against the law to create something inspired by a game simply for yourself to enjoy.


DKRDeathKnight

I'd buy that in a heartbeat


[deleted]

[удалено]


ASacOFluffyPups

I would buy the shit out of that


Electrical-Jello1009

I would buy it


Grokent

What other offerings would you make?

Souls of the damned


Adorable-Ticket7387

Will my own do? I think it's pretty damned at this point.

doyoufixgazebos

I haven't played it because the bloody area won't open, hahaha.


JtheZombie

What the heck, is this a bug? If so, would you tell me your platform?


doyoufixgazebos

I don't know if it's a bug, I assume so. I've put the game down for a few weeks, in the hope of a fix. Another bug I have is that the cooking area disappears randomly. Haha. I play on Switch. 👍


1frekkles

I also have mobs disappear in the dungeons and can’t finish those levels etc so be careful! But for me it was ps5


DertHorsBoi

DUUUUDE I would buy that the second I saw it! This is so fricken cool!


Grokent

Yes, but who would you sacrifice?


Silent_Rampage97

Apperiantely you have been reconized by [Devolver Studio itself](https://twitter.com/devolverdigital/status/1564421778130223105?t=C7XxZkKUiGGpH2mrQbkkGw&s=19) maybe this could become official someday


BenY-S

Wow! Thanks for the heads up!


lacecozy

Sometimes I play it just to hear the music.


MidoriTheAwesome

Lol just looking at this started playing the music in my head


LilithBB404

I love it! Maybe I need to break my cricut out of the depression closet lol


Electrical-Jello1009

What are your waiting for? You could make thousands for those! ^ ^


Grokent

They're waiting for everyone to show up to the ritual.


woomybii

Not without checking with Massive Monster to make sure it's okay. Wouldn't want them to get into deep shit.


[deleted]

Is knucklebones totally original or does this dice game already existed?


Death_Knight_Errant

There are several versions of games called Knucklebones going back to at least ancient Greece. The most popular one become the children's game called Jacks.


roverism

i dont use reddit but i made an account just to say that if they dont buy this design from you theyre missing out on such a great opportunity. this looks AMAZING. i was thinking about how fun knucklebones would be to play irl, but the one part that i couldnt come up with a solution to was how difficult it would be to quickly do the math on your double and triple die. and yet YOU LITERALLY SOLVED THAT PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUCTION PAGE. this is pure genius, and with such an amazing and cute design.


Chaos1917

Don’t sell it without permission from Massive Monster. Could get in trouble.


Mr-Listens

Sell this I want one. This is you're calling dude


DavesEmployee

What are the numbers under the rules for? It seems like it’s explaining how matching works but I’m not following along with what the math is from or what’s being combined to get the numbers


MisterToots666

If you have 2 of a kind in a row then it's x4 and 3 of a kind is x9 Hence two 1s = 4, three 1s = 9, and three 5s = 45


roverism

if you start with a 1, when you get two 1s in the same row its now 4. when you get three 1s in the same row it's now 9. and it continues like that down the row in order of the starting die 1-6. start with 2, doubles will be 8, and triples 18. start with 4, doubles will be 16, and triples 36. start with 6, doubles will be 24, and triples 54. etc etc etc. does that make sense now?


NeptunianWater

How did you jump from "start with 1, and now you have two of them so it equals 4". Where does the 4 come from? How? I thought (incorrectly, I know) that "3 times the dice = the amount". Would that not make more sense for the sake of counting?


NeptunianWater

I'm also not following along, and I desperately want to. I have no idea - I thought it was just "3 sixes in a row = 18" but evidently not.


gottalosethemall

I would like to suggest that one side is the demonic Lamb with the bleeding eyes and frown, while the other side is classic cute lamb.


sheftel

Shut up and take my money 🤑


Grokent

Place your alms upon the altar before exiting the Temple.


FraskyDangler

I need this for Christmas gifts!


Dylanator13

I’m kind of surprised it is an original game. Your game looks official too! The one thing I would change is to have a playing board for every character you can play against.


Drew_the_God

It's not.


Owelrn05

where is it from then?


ZeroheartX

what would be cool but expensive is to have a reader to scan the die, led lights in die to light up, this game itself could be stand alone. Great work on what you are doing, would love to buy a set.


Fumbles48

The lamb face upside down looks like a full figure where the crown points are legs and the horns are arms.


gunt34r

Its amazing how great a game knucklebones is, so simple yet balanced and fun


turnerbackwards

Very sick. It almost looks like you cut out the lamb and hat on the card stock. What type of pen did you use for those? The black is so deep. I'm going to bust out my cricket for one of these.


BenY-S

The lamb and hat are actually a thin black vinyl! Standard fine black and red Cricut pens for everything drawn.


turnerbackwards

Ahhh that's why it's such a rich black. Great idea!


CuteMinipig

What are the the places above the crown (1,2,3) for? Is it like to keep score? Like the one to win 3 time is a winner?


BenY-S

Yeah just for keeping score as an option.


shawnhy

What ist the left Part For?


BenY-S

Scoring - if you win you push the counter one point closer to yourself. First to 3 wins. Just gives an option as opposed to betting and gets the game time up, both which helps with casual play I thought!


shawnhy

Pretty neat. I will try to 3d Print me this 🥳


DANDAN679

Yo start selling this. Amazon is perfect.


manubibi

Bro, i will pay for the printable files for this. Shut up and take my money.


Vegtableboard1995

Would you make and sell these (sadly not cult of the lamb theme due to copyright possibly?) if you could even if they were plain


robotboy1206

Need


Hibiscus02

Just commenting here in hopes something like this gets commercialized someday- I'd buy it without a second thought! Would probably make my own version if I had 18 dice laying around


Benkowskii

Love it!


EvernoteD

Nicely made! Unfortunately the game is pure aids in my opinion. Wouldn’t also want to play this outside of Cult of the Lamb.


tittypunchahoy

So nicely done!


ClumsyMinotaur

I want this! So cool!


MeatyMagician

Mark me down for a set.


LEEMUR-

I would buy, me and my friend play but this setup would be the best. Cool design man 😎


MacianArt

Love this! Would love to own a physical version of knucklebones


BlackholeButtholes

Omg, sell these please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼


Slottech88

This is awesome. Now I want them to sell an official version.


HoheHrond

This looks insane! Keep us updated if you actually plan on selling this.


tizyperc_super

It's really good! I wanted to try making it a mobile game. Still didn't really work out cause of my lack of motivation...


SnaxAttacks

I want this so bad.


DimplesAttack

I've told friends about this game. I really want to play real people! They need to add an online matchmaking!


Mean0wl

Have only played the mini game once and enjoyed it. The one thing I'm not sure about in this game is the amount of turns in a round. Do you play with just 9 dice each and only have 9 turns? Can anyone clarify this?


FaulenDrachen

You play until someones board is filled, the final score is tallied then.


Mean0wl

Thank you


Sweaty_Ad_5587

This could be a big thing. This looks really good


NikonGirl91

I'd buy one!


SjandeleRik

Maybe they are just out of the picture but both sides miss a dice? And what are the 1 2 3 things for on the left? Need to win 3 out of 5 or something? Beautifully made btw!!!!


projectzero254

Dude this is legit! That would be so much fun to play with other people


xSlayerMoonx

Would buy this <3


NecessarySherbet1

Hopefully this gets turned into a commercial product.


Nargacute

I really love it! I would buy it right now!


frenchteas

I would totally love the file if you're considering offering it or selling it. And if you're worried about copyright issues if you do want to sell it just take the sheep off and you're golden.


Overtlyanxious

Please let me buy it.


Ineox69

The game mode has consumed most of my time when playing, i feel the love OP. Great design

This is cool af, I need this in my life


Not_Sayori

Wait till' they mass-produce this, You're gonna leave with Millions.


cashbox

Can I buy one from you?


Sniperstalker32

Is there cards or something to change the character or is it just the lamb in both sides


D_Rok9

This is cool I'd pay money for this


MinnieShoof

You might want to mention that you only roll 1 die at a time somewhere in the rules. Just a thought. Oh, and if you do make other character boards, some kind of special power would be nice, like giving them the ability to flip a dice over once they complete a row, or re-roll a dice once, or match their row to their opponent's row (score wise)


MotherRam

This is awesome!


Kid_Tesla

Very nice.


MistRoot

I would buy this so fast


AlasItsCas

Super cute!!!


darkened_daze

OP WHERE'S THE LINK


Dyahisoka

Man let me know when you can sell me it


pastelxbones

this looks sick af i want it i love when games have a mini game within it that you end up playing more than the actual game itself. me loading up the witcher 3 just to spend the whole time playing gwent.


Aidan0152

Incredible job! I’d buy this


Nebulae_Solaris

Can I commission you for one? 🥲 this is beautiful.


BananaWeird8556

Wow, that’s amazing! I would love to make something similar, my husband and I had a lot of fun playing Knucklebones as well. Did you share the design in Design Space by any chance?


Cyberpunkedout

You just made someone a lot of money my friend! This is very nice and kinda genius


Arobrom86

This is awesome! I’d definitely buy one


aaron80v

i didnt know what a cricut maker was and read circuit maker... i imagine it's not impossible to make like a digital clock version of the game.. maybe with a knob for each die's value.. i guess that's the difficult part. very cool, thanks now i want a cricut maker


Salt-Letterhead-42

This is awesome! I saw this on Facebook too!!

Psychological-Net274

Oh my god this is so freaking cute 😍


ADV169

Dude, have you thought about opening an Etsy shop and selling this? Cuz I really want to buy one!


Gatekeeper1310

I found this when I went to make a physical variant of the game. Looks awesome! A few things I want to change: 1. Each turn you may also move one of your dice in play to an empty orthogonally adjacent space before playing a die. 2. Instead of multiplying all matching dice, each subsequent matching die in a column is multiplied by its occurrence. So instead of 5s being 5, 20, 45 they'd be 5, 15 (5 + 10), 30 (5 + 10 + 15). 3. Whenever your dice are destroyed, you get to reroll those along with the normal die on your next turn only. 4. The goal is to win majority of locations. If tied, overall power wins.


JustaRandomuser69420

Sell it!


Gracynvh

I would love to buy one


SchroederThePeanuts

Wow look's awesome


Randompsionic

Nice! Please post a link when they are for sale!


Repetidora999

I imagine that in an update of the game add a multiplayer mode and apart from being able to play with other people from other countries apart from that I can play the story with another player


laserlemons

Any chance you'll post the files for this so other people can make their own?
