Latest Updates from Our Project:

Survey 2.0
almost 10 years ago – Sun, Apr 24, 2016 at 03:01:01 AM

To rectify the problems we experienced with the internal Kickstarter Survey, we've created our own using Google Form. 

We won't be considering the information you provided in the first Survey but will only consider this latest one. 

The Survey will be sent via email. If anybody has problems filling it in or doesn't receive it within a few days, you can write to us in private at [email protected]

To make sure everything goes smoothly, here are a few instructions: 

 1. It is very important that you properly insert your Backer Name and Kickstarter - Email. 

2. It is essential that you reinsert your shipping details, even if you already did so in the first Survey. This is because as we said, we will not be taking the old information into consideration. 

3. We have included a survey to select the illustrations for the dice set. We will create the illustration that receives the most votes. 

4. We have included sections dedicated to your feedback on our work. You are not obliged to fill these in, but you would really help us to correct anything that may not be working the way it should. 

 THE SURVEY IS NOT YOUR FINAL ORDER. 

 This survey is not your final order, we just need some information that will help us plan production. Your choices are not binding and you can change them during the pledge manager once its launched. We remind you that shipping and add-on costs will not be charged just yet. 

 CABALIST 

Concept Starting from this update, we will include a small focus on the heroes developed together with our supporters. We have decided to begin from the Cabalist by Warren Task. The first stage of development focused on the characterising elements of this hero. 

First of all, we established the background of the Cabalist and its potential specialisations. Then we focused on its equipment and appearance. At the moment our artistic team is developing the first concept-art to share with Warren. We are very happy with the progress of this character and will provide more details on this hero as soon as possible. 

We thank Warren for his excellent work! 

 PAERSONA 

 The development of the new missions and the "Paersona" you unlocked during the campaign is going full steam ahead! 

The paersona are taking shape and in the next updates we will start to reveal the first cards with their statistics and unique skills... it will be up to you to decide how to use them on the battle field... provided you manage to make them your friends! 

Papa
Papa

 The first two figures we have developed are the Pope and the Doge: The Pope and Doge can join your group only after the encounter of their duel pack. 

They will only be available for advanced missions and will join you depending on the path of the missions undertaken. 

Doge

 The Pope and Doge duel pack will be supplied with everything needed to play their mission and to integrate these two striking figures into the game campaigns.

And now...as usual, enjoy:

Surveys Out!
about 10 years ago – Wed, Mar 09, 2016 at 07:59:39 AM

The Nova Aetas Kickstarter survey has been sent to all of our backers . Please take a minute to complete the survey. The survey will ask for the following information: 

  • An email address where we can easily reach you. 
  • How many pledges you plan on getting.

THE SURVEY IS NOT YOUR FINAL ORDER. 

This survey is not your final order, we just need some information that will help us plan production. Your choices are not binding and you can change them during the pledge manager once its launched. We remind you that shipping and add-on costs will not be charged just yet.

Please make sure to fill out the survey before the end of March. This is important so we can prevent delays. Using this information we'll create the Pledge Manager which will be sent out to all of the backers as soon as possible. 

If you are a $1 backer, didn't select a reward level, or are a participant in the Late Backer offer, the survey will not be sent to you. Don't worry, though. You'll still be included in the Pledge Manager system and will be able to indicate how many pledges you want, how many optional buys, and pay for your full pledge and shipping.

Cheers.

Pasquinade – Survey, miniatures and co-design
about 10 years ago – Wed, Mar 02, 2016 at 05:59:20 AM

Hi everyone, Pasquino has something to tell you.

Survey

Please forgive us, we're running a little late in publishing the survey because a few small details are missing that will be finalised very shortly. We hope to have it ready by next week, accompanied by another mini update.

Miniatures

Following the doubts expressed by some of our backers, we contacted PandaGM to verify the casting and piece review processes. We received a very detailed response and through their testing processes we'll be able to check on the quality right up until our final approval. We will have a meeting with PandaGM shortly to organise the production process and we’ll tell you more in the next update.

In the meantime, we've begun to cast some of the resin models to assess the details and quality. We are very satisfied with the results. You can take a look at some of the cast models below.

Co-design

As we said in the comments, the development process with our backers has begun. At the moment we're toying around with a lot of excellent ideas to create the first level of the four additional heroes. Blacksmith, Cabalist, Hunter and Lancer are taking shape; we will dedicate specific updates to these heroes. We'll be in touch shortly with another Pasquinata.

Are we awake... or are we dreaming?
about 10 years ago – Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 08:15:19 AM


Dear friends, there's no way of describing what we're feeling right now. 

All this has been made possible thanks to you, our supporters, and we can't thank you enough!

We thank you for the support and trust you have so graciously given us, for having believed in us and for having supported us, for the love you have shown for Nova Aetas in these last 23 days of our campaign.

A campaign full of surprises, difficult times and exhilarating moments, but when we needed you, you were there. Some of you have demonstrated commitment and dedication that we have never seen before in any of the campaigns we've followed, and we don't mean to be arrogant when we say that at a social level, this has definitely been one of the most successful campaigns in the entire history of Kickstarter.

Some of you have become friends as you wrote to us on the board, and for us your participation was one of our biggest inspirations to do better! It would be great to get to know you one by one and shake each of your hands, and perhaps one day it will be possible... but in the meantime we'll do everything in our power to keep the promises we've made and to give you the game that we've always dreamed of creating, and that you have learned to love!

The next few months will be very intense and exciting at the same time, but we'll keep you informed with regular updates on the progress of our work, given that we'd like to think that Nova Aetas is now everyone's game, not only for LMS, but for every one of you.

From Fritz, Luca, Andrea, Daniele, Vincenzo and the whole artistic team at LMS...

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
