almost 2 years ago – Sat, Nov 19, 2022 at 06:25:07 AM

You can now watch our first development diary on youtube!

Meet the team members as we review how priorities have been distributed at the start of development, and show you some of the first features already implemented.

During the last weeks, we have recorded each department's progress, from the advances in aspects such as design and content to the programming and VR integration aspects.

Some other relevant aspects that have already been archived:

• The networking department has successfully integrated the multiplayer foundations into the base code.
• We already have the design of our placeholder game environment.
• Features related to interaction with playable objects have been refined.
   

You can also find more details about the development on our social networks. 

Stay tuned for more updates!

In October, we welcome new members to our team!

Hello backers!

My name is Teresa, and I am the new Community Manager at The Game Kitchen in Seville (Spain). From now on, I will keep you updated with the latest news about the development of All On Board!

All my new teammates and I are beyond happy to form part of this fantastic project. So, first of all, we want to thank every supporter and backer who has made this possible.

October has been a prolific period for the 'All on Board!' development

This month, six new members have joined the team and are already working hard to show you playable elements as soon as possible.

Moreover, the Dev. Diary recording is ongoing. I have been recording the daily work here in the office, and a couple of days ago, a professional crew came to record the interviews with some of the team members. The first episode will release in early November!

And remember, we've launched our official Reddit for All On Board!, If you prefer, you can follow us there.

Thanks for making it possible with your incredible support!

The development of All On Board! Continues!

Hello backers!

After a brief summer holiday, the team is now back and kicking, ready to resume working on the project.

Since the campaign ended, the production team has been updating the project planning and roadmap. Also, we’ve been interviewing and hiring new team members, to cover some of the extra push the development needs.

This would not have been possible without your incredible support! Thank you very much for believing in the project and trusting us as developers. You are the best!

A new phase begins!

Now that the whole team is back, we have successfully kick-off this new phase of the project.

First, we have adjusted the project goals and vision to incorporate what we have learned from YOU during the campaign.

Then we have established some of the new principles and methodologies that this next phase is going to require.

First playable Alpha available later this year

We are already actively working towards having a build available in December, as promised. This short demo would demonstrate only some of the more fundamentals principles of the All On Board! platform:

• Choose from three classic board games, and load them into the game as mods.
   
• Host or join other users to play the same game online.
   
• Basic interactions, like grab and drop pieces.
   
• A limited library of avatars to choose from.
   
• A simple playing environment and game table. 

Getting to All On Board 1.0 by December 2023 is going to be challenging, so it’s important to establish some solid milestones on our way there. For that, your feedback will be of great help, even in this early stage with such a limited number of features.

Next October 1st would be the first of work to some of the new team members we recently hired, including our new Community Manager who’d be responsible for keeping you posted on every step of the way. Additionally, the first episode of our video Dev Diary will be available shortly after that.

In the meanwhile, If you want to know more about the development progress, you can give us a shout out in our Discord server: https://discord.gg/fJ32QysWxt

Sincerely,

The Game Kitchen
