2. Getting Your Game Project Made By Blue Panther
HOW TO GET YOUR GAME PROJECT MADE BY BLUE PANTHER
To give you an accurate price, we need certain types of information, a list of components with sizes, quantities, and type of preferred materials for the components. For example:
- What is the size of the box?
- Dimensions of the game board?
- Playing cards? How many? What size?
- Rulebook? How many pages?
- Player Aids? What size? How Many Pages?
- Dice? How many? What size?
- Countersheet? Size, how many counters?
Custom components – size and shape of each?
HOW CAN I BE EFFICIENT ON PRICING?
Blue Panther offers many standard component sizes (please request our price list via the Contact Form link here). If your design can fit into these templates, that will generally get you the lowest possible price. See the Design Template page for guidance on rulebooks, standard map and counter sheet sizes.
WHAT IMPACTS THE SPEED AND COST OF GETTING MY GAME PRINTED?
The faster you get your artwork to us in the templates, the faster your game will print. The more closely your artwork follows our guidelines, the cheaper it will be to produce. If we can use your files as is when received there are no setup charges.
Blue Panther can do limited editing of your files to make sure they fit our standards, but there is an hourly charge for this. If you don’t like your artwork, there are a few artists we can recommend.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a prototype made for your game before ordering larger quantities. Yes, it costs more money up front, but a prototype is cheaper than paying us to re-make 200 counter sheets because someone found a mistake after it started shipping. For larger orders like crowdfunding projects, the cost of the prototype can be applied as a credit towards your production order.
