Interview with Dan Letzring from Letiman games.


Dan Letzring Interview:

Today we have a interview with Dan Letzring from Letiman games. Who has some exciting news to share, so without further ado the interview will be commenced below. (Expand Your Game in Bold and Dan is in normal font)

Ok sweet, first question Can you tell us a little bit about letiman games?
Yup, Letiman Games has been publishing games for 4 years now I am the sole member and have published Groves, Dino Dude Ranch (and its Hatchlings Expansion), Gadgeteers, and Dirigible Disaster Our latest game The Neverland Rescue just funded on kickstarter last week.

Awesome, Now let's commence with what the exciting news you have to share is ?
I am forming a publishing company with Carla Kopp of Weird Giraffe Games.

So what is the new company named and what direction will this company be going in ?
Galactic raptor games And we plan to add to the number of games we already publish each year.

Exciting so what opportunities are there to creating this company with Carla from weird giraffe games ? There are a lit of benefits. First is we feel like we both have different strengths so combining our strengths and bearing areas can only lead to better games. We also feel that we both want more out of our companies and working together might bring us to the place we envisioned going

There's sounds like there's multiple benefits in this collaboration, Do you have any games being developed currently for Galactic Raptor Games ? 
Yes our first game signed is Steven Aramini's Animal Kingdoms that recently won the Cardboard Edison Design Contest and we may have a few others on the back burner that were looking at.

Can we know a little more about the game such as a overview or what mechanics Animal Kingdoms involve ?
Animal Kingdoms is a fun little area control game where each location has limitations to the types of cards you can play from your hand that will allow you to place pieces into the kingdoms you would like to control, so hand management comes into play very strongly in this game.

Is Animal Kingdom going to be a kickstarter or a straight to retail release ?
Kickstarter!

Any planned launch date that you can discuss ?
Tbd, but hoping by end if this year

Anything else that you would like to add that I may of missed ?
Keep an eye on our website for info on game submissions
