Game Invention and Self-Publishing Resources - Spotlight on Game. Self-Publishing The Hard Way - Highs And Lows. A story of self-publishing - Cannonball Colony. Hi everyone, I thought I'd share the story of self-publishing my third game, Cannonball Colony.
I hope you find it an interesting read! Designing the game Cannonball Colony was one of the first ideas that came to me when I decided to jump into hobby game design in 2006. It began simply with an idea for a modular board. The idea was an island made up of square tiles, on which was a grid of different terrain types.
