Hello folks,

im Marc from www.couchgames.wtf . We are a new indiegame dev studio from germany and dedicated us to accessible and digital boardgames.
Our games are not games only for visually-impaired or blind people. We just make them accessible.

Our very first game is "My Little Secrets", which is an adaption of the famous board game "privacy".
Its a multiplayer game for partys (up to 10 people) where you can find out via funny and partly intimate statements more about your friends!

You can read more about on our (yet not very accessible) webseite: https://couchgames.wtf/mylittlesecrets/?lang=en (We are working on it, sorry!)

That’s how it works:

You’ll be presented with a statement, such as “I’ve pooped in the woods before!”, or “I don’t like my in-laws!”.

Then secretly press Yes, or No on your smartphone, tablet or PC. Depending on whether this statement applies to you or not. Afterwards you estimate how many of your friends have pressed yes.

At the end, the game reveals how many of you pressed yes. However, never who exactly!

You will receive points for guessing the correct number of yes’s, or being just off the mark.

The best part: Only one of you needs the app to open a game. Everyone else can play along via an internet-enabled device using the browser. Even if you have a few more features in the app. The game creator can share the direct link to your game via WhatsApp, Facebook, SMS or carrier pigeon.

Optionally, you can open the TV screen via a SmartTV or a tablet. There you have the board with a great overview of the score and the current statement!

Have fun!

sorry for spamming this topic now for 4 times! The other 3 times it didnt worked... i removed a smilie from the text and now it works. If someone could delete the other topcis with "My Little Secrets" in the headline - that would be great!

Hello, I wish you a warm welcome to the forum.
The game sounds really fun, I will check it out for sure.
The errors were caused probably by the smilies you used, glad you fixed it. Don't worry about the other topics, the mods will take care of it.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
The game sounds interesting. Would it be possible to translate it into other languages? That would be amazing.

Best regards SLJ.

Hey SLJ,

on which languages are you thinking?
We have until now english, german and spanish.

2021-07-17 16:54:51

Hey folks,

today we are giving away the Deck Editor for My Little Secrets on all our social channels. With it, you can create your own statements and play them with your friends. To do this, you have to post a statement in the comments that you would like to have in the game.
You can find the channels here if you want to take part: https://couchgames.wtf/contact/

We have also released a new version with a deck especially for parents. Those who have already unlocked all decks can play the new deck for free.
We have also implemented a few minor fixes that improve the voice-over experience.

If such posts are undesirable here, please let me know.

best regards
Marc

Hi @marc.hinz.
I'm thinking about translating it into Danish, my main language.
I haven't tried the game yet, because I haven't found someone to play with yet. But I look forward to give it a try.

Best regards SLJ.

Okay! I know that there are Systems to use translations by the crowd. That could enable us to provide our games in several languages! But to be honest. That is not at the roadmap for this year. But i can imagine, that we will implement it in 2022 - retroactively for all games. At the moment it is manual translation for us. What is very time intensive.
