Someone mentioned the importance of themes to sell a game,
and someone posted made up game titles like "Wand of Otuz"
or something. That got me thinking that piecepacks should
come hidden inside of fully themed games.
A fantasy or Sci-fi themed game could be "piecepack
compatible". They could have all the elements of a piecepack
(plus maybe some extras), all themed for the base game. It
would be like a bonus to the buyer. "Get this game, and receive
a complete fantasy themed piecepack for free!" . Am I making
sense? I see a need for a piecepack icon that game publishers
could put on their box. A piecepack-compatible logo of some
sort.
I think this would be the ideal way to proliferate piecepacks at the
start. If piecepacks catch on, it would be a great way to sell a
new game to a wider market. People might buy your game just
to get the themed piecepack it contains.
