[7:35 PM]David Okum (Okumarts Games): Hi there, I’m David Okum of Okumarts Games. I have written and illustrated MANY games since 1999 and I am here today to talk about Anime Hack, a game I wrote and published in 2016. It was part of a big wave of “Hack” games that spawned out of the success of David Black’s The Black Hack, a rules lite, pared down ttrpg that offered an old school role playing game experience based on 1e D&D. I had done many how to draw Manga books in the early 2000s and I was keen to use Black Hack to emulate a Manga Game. Big Eyes, Small Mouth had morphed into an overly bloated and complicated game so it just made sense to keep it simple and intuitive. I wrote the game and started playtesting it for about a month before it was released in July 2016. [complete]
