Thanks Wired.com!

Amazing.

The past two weeks have been buzzing with questions, orders, and interest over Iconica. I want to sincerely express my gratitude to Jonathan Liu for such a favorable review of Iconica. (I'm finally a GeekDad! My wife always knew though.)

Developing Iconica is one of the most fun and satisfying projects I work on as a creative. Its progress is supported by players who love the indie-gaming experience and want to spend time exploring content with soul.

While I maintain a clear vision for Iconica's growth, I welcome suggestions and feedback from the gaming community. In fact, one upcoming character - the Brew Master - is based on a recommendation offered up by an Iconica player! It was a great suggestion because it fit into the lore and culture of Rynaga. I can't wait to share more about how this character was created.

I'm thankful for all of the questions, accolades, and support I've been receiving. Just know this is only the beginning!

  1. Hi Eric,

    I just ordered Iconica, plus the 6 available cards, from Etsy. Your sense of design is fantastic, and it sounds like you've captured something special with regards to the game design as well. Being a 30 + year game-playing vet, plus being a Torres as well (orig. from Brooklyn, NY), as well as working in a related field, I can't wait to see what you've created.

    Give you much credit man, and big kudos for creating something from your heart that you believe in, then sharing it with the rest of us!

    All the best,
    A

  3. Played the first game with my wife on Saturday and had a lot of fun, except for the fact that she beat me :)

    Can't wait to see the new cards in April!

  5. Eric, it's been a lot of fun introducing people to Iconica--thanks again for the opportunity to review it. I'm looking forward to seeing the new cards, and eventually I'm going to actually win. (So far my record is 1-6; I think one reason my friends like it is because they can actually beat me at it.)

  6. @Jonathan - Can't wait to share more with everyone and don't worry, I'm the creator of the game and I get pretty thrashed by my son!
