Space Journey & Far Horizon
over 3 years ago – Fri, Dec 04, 2020 at 01:14:18 PM

Hello Everyone!


I hope that you are all keeping safe and healthy.

This year there have been many adversities, but finally the journey of the ready-made, final figurines has begun. Although it will still take a few more weeks for them to reach us, this is good news - especially as these are some of the most demanding, long-lasting components that manufacturers have developed over time. The choice of colours, the right shapes - we had to redesign them many times, and make changes in order to finally get the perfect product to make space exploration a thematic experience.

We received a slightly different message from the printing house. Due to too much work and precautions, they will not be able to start printing paper components within the recently agreed time. So again, it will be postponed, which means  that we will not complete the games in December. January has become uncertain. We’d therefore prefer to warn you straight away that the most realistic time to send the games to backers is February 2021.

The next update will come out in January. Therefore, I hope that you will spend the holidays with your loved ones and playing your favourite games (e.g. PHALANX).


Stay safe!

Prelude to the missions, French rulebook & digital game
over 3 years ago – Wed, Oct 28, 2020 at 11:07:58 AM

Hello Everyone!


We hope you all stay healthy and you look forward to the game.

Our French partner Asyncron sent us a rule book, and we have done the typesetting so that French backers can review it before it goes to print. Below you will find a rulebook file where you can leave suggestions for changes, and any questions you may have.

Règles

The situation in the world is changing very dynamically. In recent weeks, there have been further restrictions, and some companies have had to change their mode of operation and reduce their teams. Therefore, we are afraid that the game will not reach you in December. It is not certain yet - we are still receiving a lot of messages from the manufacturer. However, we prefer to inform you in advance that shipments to backers might only start in January 2021.

During this time, you can get acquainted with the game on Tabletopia or Tabletop Simulator. Have fun playing!


Stay safe these days!

On the mini's molds and the game's release
over 3 years ago – Sun, Sep 27, 2020 at 11:35:02 PM

Hello Everyone!

We are very sorry that the updates are now released only every six weeks. Unfortunately, this is due to the fact that all the work is extremely intense.

Unfortunatelly it seems not everything would go according to plan. A lot of work by the manufacturer has been delayed, which impacts the shipping to the backers. So there will be a delay and the game will be sent out 1-2 months later than originally planned. We sincerely apologize for this, but unfortunately, in the current situation we are not able to do much about it. 

Apart from above, everything is ready - the rules are ready, the minis are about to reach our warehouse anytime now, and the rest of the game is at the printers.

We have also received the trays for the Rocketmen figurines. Below you can see how the minis look like inside. 

Stay safe!

News from space... or manufacturer
over 3 years ago – Sat, Aug 15, 2020 at 12:33:11 AM

Hello Everyone!

On June 30, we've closed the Pledge Manager for Rocketmen. We hope everyone managed to complete the data, delivery address and card details to pay the shipping cost. If there are any problems, please contact us by email: [email protected]

Finally, we can final (remember that this is still a working version and the quality will be even better!) figurine designs for Rocketmen. Below you can see how the figurines will look on your boards (here is Giant Play Mat). Will you admit that they are impressive?

The player's red color will be changed.

We are also finishing the composition of the files, which means that we will be preparing to send the game to print, but before this happens, we still have to work out the last details and check carefully to make sure that there is no shifting, deleting, or postponement (and all those things that may have happened by accident during the development of the game). We want the final product to be of the highest quality and we will make every effort to make it happen.

Here are the pre-final draft versions of the rulebook in English, Polish, German, Spanish and Italian. Comments can be added to the file. Please, if you have any suggestions, then write them there.


English
German
Spanish
Polish
Italian
 

Due to the fine-tuning of the last details and the workload of the printing house, we anticipate that the delivery of the game can be postponed by one month. This means that the game can be delivered in November or December 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience - unfortunately, such situations happen and many factors are beyond our control.


Stay safe and take care of yourself!

Box & closing the pledge manager
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jun 03, 2020 at 08:20:42 PM

Hello Everyone! 

Lots of people were worried that they received messages about the closure of the pledge manager (BackerKit) - we are sorry for this, it was a system failure resulting from the previous setting. Preorder and pledge manager are still open until June 30. It will then close and your credit cards will be charged. After this time, you can contact us ([email protected]) regarding any changes, surcharges or payment options if the credit card payment fails.

As promised earlier, we are informing you several weeks in advance. The decision to announce the close of the pledge manager is because we are entering the final phase of work on the game, we are refining the final look of the elements, and in the coming months, we want to prepare files for printing to manufacturers.

The delivery time is unchanged: it will reach backers in October.

I think it is also worth mentioning that we’ve completed the graphic layer of the box. The cover has been changed slightly to show that the moon is not the only destination for space tycoons. The rocket is not aimed at the moon, it only passes by. In Rocketmen you can fly to the end of the world and beyond, if you know what I mean.

At last, we can present the back and side of the box. The entire art looks really futuristic now and we can't wait for this game to land on our shelves.

Stay safe!
