I got a positive response about both the presentation and the app itself, but I somehow couldn’t release the completed version - the project felt too important and needed to be perfect, so I couldn’t force myself into actually finishing it. The first talk titled “Progressive Web Apps and board games” was given at the Tech Speakers meetup in Paris, and a few next ones followed afterwards. I decided to dig up the paper Russian Roulette draft and build a digital proof-of-concept - and so NSHex Roulette demo was born. I’m giving talks as a public speaker at front-end conferences since 2012, usually presenting about cutting-edge technologies you can use to build games (Firefox OS, Gamepad API, WebVR/A-Frame/WebXR, Web Monetization, etc) - it was 2018 when I got interested in Progressive Web Apps and was looking for a good demo example for the talk. I was really sad about it, and thus the project was abandoned for the next couple of years. We did exactly that with the Russian Roulette, which back then was a paper prototype, but got absolutely no response, even after asking a few times every couple of months and sending reminders over the next 2 years (!).
Fast forward to 2014, when Portal Games (Neuroshima Hex creator and publisher) announces an open call for proposals to send in expansion ideas.
We’re running the biggest Polish fan site about the post-apocalyptic board game,, since 2010, but our passion for the game started a few years earlier.
NEUROSHIMA HEX DIY FREE
We are offering a unique experience to all the fellow players, and it’s free thanks to implementing the Web Monetization API as part of the Grant for the Web program. We’re big fans of the physical board game Neuroshima Hex, and NSHex Roulette is a digital expansion to that game.
