Dear backers,
When we approached this campaign, all we had was an idea we thought would bring joy to VR gamers worldwide. Thanks to you all, we now have a real purpose: deliver the ultimate platform to play board games digitally, leveraging the power of VR.
Today, we ended the first stage of the assignment, in which we focused on realizing what was possible with prototyping and learning what was valuable to you through dialog. While at the same time, the end of the campaign marks the beginning of the actual development.
For us in the studio, it means transparently opening a project's development to the public once again. Thanks to the final social goal you epically scored at the last minute, we will be producing a Dev Diary with a monthly episode, in which we will show you how the game is being made. You can expect the first of these coming by the end of September.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without you. Nor the Guest Mode for Flat Screen, nor the Role and Wargaming kits even existed when we launched. You have gone way beyond the call of duty, sharing and caring for the project and providing the answers we were looking for to shape the idea. We are, and we'll always be grateful!
We would like to invite you to join our Discord server, if you haven't yet, where we will be constructing the platform for an open and frequent dialog with you all: https://discord.gg/fJ32QysWxt
Also, later this year, you will be getting an invitation to our post-campaign tool, where you set up your profile page, review your perks and eventually get your download keys.
Finally, stay tuned for an update coming in a few weeks detailing what to expect from the first playable version of All On Board! this holiday season.
Sincerely,
The Game Kitchen
New Stretch Goal - Wargaming Toolkit !
about 2 years ago
– Wed, Aug 10, 2022 at 12:28:12 PM
Hi All!
We just surpassed the current goal of $60,000 thanks to the incredible support of our amazing community, thus unlocking the 80's inspired basement environment .. way to go!
Sitting at $80,000 comes our next stretch goal, the Wargaming Toolkit. This update will focus on adding to All On Board! a set of features to make every wargamer's dream come true.
The wargaming toolkit will let you set up a campaign directly from the game. Choose a wargaming ruleset, load a terrain, pick an army, and start playing immediately!
If you want to take things to the next level, the wargaming toolkit will also be fully moddable. You'll be able to create your own rules, customize armies and units, create whole new maps for your campaigns, and much more!
Our backers will be integral to adding this feature to the game. We will ask you about what you'd like to see implemented to ensure we don't leave anything essential behind!
But first, we are still got a few days to go!
If you are reading this but still on the fence, make sure you don't miss this opportunity to start playing board games in Virtual Reality before anyone else!
Social stretch goals
The campaign ends in less than 72 hours, and we have already unlocked 23 out of the 25 social points. We are only 2 points away from unlocking the last of the community challenges: "Dev Diaries."
To be honest, we are looking forward to achieving this goal since it would mean we would have the means to hire a professional crew to film high-quality documentary series. With these monthly videos, we can share the development progress in a compact, easy-to-follow format.
It will feature interviews with the devs and some real-work environment situations.
Adding this component to the project, we hope you'll get to both how the project is going on and the people behind it.
Sounds good? Then please help us make Dev diaries a reality!
Wanna Help us make Dev diaries happen?
Go to our twitter account https://twitter.com/AllOnBoardVR and RT and like as many tweets from our account as possible. Not only this will be extremely helpful to reach more board game enthusiasts and lovers, but it will also add extra points to the social counter.
We will update the social counter in the kickstarter campaign and in our Discord Server (Join us here) tomorrow at 9 in the morning (CEST Time), hopefully we can unlock dev diaries before the campaign ends!
Sincerely,
The Game Kitchen
