Half Tilt began as a bit of fun in the office. We had some halfling knight miniatures and joked about making a jousting game for them. Later that day we began scribbling rules and naming the brave sirs. Fast forward a month, art work had been commissioned, dice were rolling and we were settling office disputes at the tilt.
We took the game to UK Games Expo in 2022 and ran demos to see if everyone else enjoyed it as much as we did. The feedback was awesome as nearly everyone who played asked to buy a copy. A tad awkward as we hadn't expected that and didn't even have a concrete release date planned! In the 18 months since we have been regularly tweaking the rules to get it where it is today.
