Latest Updates from Our Project:

Final 24 Hours! Warlock stretch goal unlocked!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 10:42:06 PM

And just like that, we’re into the final 24 hours of this lightning campaign!

With some great support coming through over the weekend we’re stoked that we managed to unlock our next stretch goal - each copy of the game will now include the additional Warlock Unit and Command Board for the Empire!

Players will have the choice at the beginning of each game to select either the Magician or the Warlock Unit for that campaign. Each possesses its own powerful unique Ability that will allow players to develop new strategies and ways to approach the game.

While the Magician uses her mystical prowess to conjure additional opportunities across the battlefield for the Empire, the cunning Warlock can directly influence the advances of the Rebels by manipulating their dice rolls to the Empire’s advantage.

As we head into the final day of the campaign, we just wanted to say once again - Thank You for all the support towards Empire in Flames, it’s been a joy for us to see such enthusiasm towards our game. Now let’s finish this Campaign strong!

Campaign complete! What’s next?

The Empire in Flames Kickstarter campaign has officially come to an end!

What an awesome two-week campaign it was, bolstered by a really strong showing of support over the final 24 hours that unlocked two more stretch goals! We couldn’t be happier with the response.

So, what’s next?

In approximately 2-3 weeks we will be sending out surveys to your emails through BackerKit. From there, you will be able to gain access to all of the PDF files for the base game so you can start playing Empire in Flames! Note that you do not need to create a BackerKit account to receive the survey or your rewards.

In the meantime, we’ll be hard at work finalising the artwork for the unlocked stretch goals and optional 3D printable minis. We’re aiming to send the stretch goal files through BackerKit in mid-January, and the 3D add-on files in late-January. We'll keep you updated as we get closer to those dates.

On that note - if you missed out on the 3D miniature add-ons, you’ll get a chance to add them to your pledge when you get your survey as well.

We’ll be in touch again over the coming weeks as we prepare to send out your files, but if you have any questions at all in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Finally, we’d just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us over this two week campaign. Empire in Flames is just the first of a number of exciting projects that we will be bringing to Kickstarter, and we sincerely hope that you’ll join us on our next journey!

4 days to go! Unlocking stretch goals!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 18, 2022 at 04:55:15 PM

We’re right into the home-stretch now, with only four days to go until the campaign wraps up!

Yesterday we managed to unlock our first stretch goal - a second map, titled Clash of the Cartographer, will be included with every copy of Empire in Flames!

The next stretch goal, which will give all players access to the Warlock unit that possesses its own unique ability and command board, is just on the horizon. Let’s see if we can knock it down this weekend!

And just in case you missed it in the last update: 3D Printable Miniatures are now available as an add-on to your pledge for only $2! If you want to add another dimension to your gameplay, be sure to check it out.

Cheers for making Empire in Flames a success - let’s finish this thing strong!

Funded! New add-ons available!

It’s official - Empire in Flames has successfully funded!

Thank you all so much for pledging your support towards Empire in Flames - what an awesome week it has been!

Over the last week we've realised that Empire in Flames deserves an extra dimension; so we’ve added an optional upgrade for those of you with a passion for 3D printing - an STL file pack add-on that includes 3D printable miniatures for all of the Empire and convertible Rebel units, as well as a miniature of the Capital featuring our indomitable Queen that brings an exciting centerpiece to the struggle for the realm!

The 3D Printed Minis in action - an epic addition to the Empire in Flames experience!

The option to include the 3D printing files is available as an add-on when you submit (or edit) your pledge for all of those wanting to add some 3D-ness to their Empire in Flames experience.

Thanks again for your support - we can’t wait for you to start playing!

One week done and dusted!

Hello backers!

We have officially passed the one week mark for Empire in Flames on Kickstarter, and we’re stoked to have moved to 92% funded! We knew going into this that doing a solo Print ‘n’ Play was pretty niche, so we’re really happy to have gotten to this point considering we're only a week into the journey.

Remember that surprise addition to the project that I mentioned in the last update? Well, here’s a little glimpse of what we’ve been working on:

Whatever could it be? ;)

More to come on the above very soon - and a massive thanks again to you all for your support!
