Final Stretch!
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 07:14:10 PM

We have entered the final stretch of the kickstarter and we're super happy with all of the love ans support we've gotten thus far. We're only a few hundred off of our funding goal! From there it'll be down to see if we can hit any stretch goals before time is out!

Thank you to everyone who's supported us through pledges, sharing with friends and generally being great folk these past few weeks! Now onto some updates:

Employee Photos

For our lovely backers who snagged the pledge levels to have their likeness or businesses added to the game, now is a great time to begin thinking about what you'll want that to look like! 

Most of what this means is taking, or selecting a good Reference Photo for our artists to work from. Here are some basic guidelines for what makes an excellent Reference Photo:

  • Make sure your face is clearly visible
  • Either wearing the outfit you'd like to have drawn, or have notes ready for what sort of clothes you'd like to wear.
  • PLEASE NOTE: That in order to suit the Employee Card you're representing, some alterations may be necessary to your desired outfit. We'll be working with you to make some great art that everyone can be happy with!

Builders! The Building-Building Deck Building Livestream!

We'll be running a Builders livestream this coming Monday October 22nd, 8:30pm EST. We'll be doing full-game playthroughs to teach the game, as well as to show what some higher-level play looks like. Anyone who can tune in can get any questions they have answered Live and, if you have Tabletop Simulator you may get the chance to play the game with the creators, Live!

The end is in sight, so let's end strong!

Evolution of Artwork

We're at 81%! Feels pretty awesome and we're pumped that people are still coming to check the project out and give us a boost. It means the world to us.

In the meantime, we have another blog post about the creation of this game, this time the evolution of artwork and graphic design as we went on

79% and Why Beers!
over 5 years ago – Mon, Oct 08, 2018 at 03:13:39 PM

Happy Thanksgiving Monday from us Canucks! We've been continuing to hustle and get more backers for this thing. We are SO CLOSE now at nearly 80%, and we have plenty more demo days and tabletop simulator events to get a learn on the game. 

In case you missed, we have an essay up on our website about the reasoning for beer as a currency. It represented at tricky design decision here, but one that we've committed to. 

We appreciate each and every one of you, and all your support. It means so much and we are so close to funding. Let's keep spreading the word and maybe even hit that stretch goal!
