2 Developers from Poland join forces to publish their IT-related card games: from Devs to Devs – OutOfMemory and IT Startup!

Each of us already has a published book and now we want to share some knowledge with fun games! Remember all the original 151 Pokemon names? How about playing a game that lets you remember something useful: like what technologies are beneficial to learn to be a better Developer! One of the games is already published in Poland and sold over 3k copies (so we how already some publishing know how). Now we want to start a company and publish 2 of our IT related card games worldwide in English.

Have fun while playing our print and play prototypes!

We plan to publish the games as one company on Kicktarter in Q1 2020.

OutOfMemory! by Konrad Kokosa

In OutOfMemory! game your goal is to build an application from features, represented (mostly) by Feature cards. Each Feature card adds Feature points. The first player who collects 10 Feature points, wins. Feature cards have costs. So, for example, many cards allocate Memory at the end of each turn. If you hit the specified memory limit, you experience an OutOfMemory exception resulting in unpleasant consequences – you loose one Feature! Actions and features are limited by the number of CPU Ticks available (so not always every action or feature is possible). You track available Memory and Ticks using the Benchmark sheet. To reclaim some memory, you can play Garbage Collection cards (like Gen 0 GC card).

You can disrupt opponents by playing Bug or Issues cards against them. You can help yourself by playing Fix cards. Additionally, there are Action cards with special consequences and you can host a single Hero card with unique and special abilities!

An example of two prototype sheets is presented below:
