Hi everyone  

The pledge manager is live.  

Each backer will receive an email with a link taking them to the backerkit login. Otherwise, you can click on the following link:  https://novaaetas.backerkit.com/ 

Those who weren't able to participate in the campaign will be able to use the late pledge at a higher price, in order to receive all the unlocked materials, click on the following link:  https://novaaetas.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/

A few important clarifications  

We have decided to remove the duel pack in resin because it would have been the same as the one in PVC, without adding anything to the game.  

The final version of the heroes in PVC will also include all the cards needed to play them: 72 skill cards, 28 equipment cards and the 8 hero sheets.  

As we mentioned in the last update, the resin version of the heroes will be slightly different and will be sent out after the summer. This version will not include game materials and we ask for shipment contribution of $3 worldwide.  

Below you can see the minor updates to the game graphics:

Stay tuned...

A little delay...

Hi everyone,  

... the pledge manager will start the next week. We apologise for the delay, but organising the shipments took a lot longer than expected.  

The email you received from kickstarter is a little misleading: the goods haven't departed yet, but the email is sent automatically at the end of the survey. Moreover, during the pledge manager you can change your delivery address.  

The pledge manager will be open until the end of July. We have collected many of your requests and have decided to extend the available time as much as possible. Those who weren't able to participate in the campaign will be able to use the late pledge at a higher price, in order to receive all the unlocked materials.  

The resin materials will be sent separately immediately after the summer. These are just the miniatures without the paper part, which you'll find in the game. The hero models will have small variations to differentiate it from its PVC twin.  

I leave you in the arms of the golem, the first exclusive model that you'll find in online stores.

 Stay tuned...

Pasquinata
almost 10 years ago – Mon, May 30, 2016 at 11:56:40 PM

Hi guys,  

We're finally ready! All we need to do is complete the graphical part of the PM and then we'll be online. 

We still need to clear up a few doubts regarding shipments, but we hope to have all the answers very soon. We've nearly finished revising all the game pieces and the playtest phase of the campaign, which now boasts an impressive 26 missions including 4 different endings.

We have implemented the system to manage serious wounds during play, and we're finishing up the playtests for the secondary missions, especially the hunting one.

Thanks to a collaboration with our backers, we've almost finished two of the four additional characters, the blacksmith and the cabalist. 

 

 

Very soon we'll be able to show you the finished miniatures, this is a WIP.

Unfortunately the PVC miniatures haven't arrived yet, the journey to and from China is taking longer than expected.

And now as always... enjoy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Stay tuned...

Exciting news
almost 10 years ago – Sat, May 07, 2016 at 10:17:55 PM

Hi everyone, 

it's already time for another pasquinata.

Thanks to our new office, we're working much faster and at this stage we can happily say that most of the materials are coming along on schedule.

Our collaboration with Warren Tusk, Fenryr, Tralumph and Marco Aguilar is moving along very well and we're proud to show you the first two wip of their heroes.

May will be a month full of exciting new things:

First of all, the pledge manager: we'll provide more information and present it in the next update. We have taken a few steps to increase the number of your purchase options.

Miniatures in pvc: by the end of the month, pandagm should send us the first samples in pvc. These will be tests on which we will make the necessary corrections in order to give you the best possible product. We hope to have achieved a good level of quality.

The opening of the online store: soon we will update our website and open a page dedicated to the online store. Through the store, you'll be able to participate in the crowdfunding campaign (at a slightly higher cost), view some of the previews reserved especially to our backers and purchase new models in resin for Nova Aetas. 

Sine tempore, our new game: we're working on expanding the background of the nova aetas world through other fantastic games set in various what ifs. New game systems bases on cards, dice and placement mechanics will make their appearance... without neglecting the miniatures. 

We'd also like to welcome a new member of our creative team, Fernando Armentano, who will help us at the office every day, working on our miniatures. Below are some of his first models:

 Stay tuned...

Development of the game
almost 10 years ago – Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 06:40:58 PM

Hi everyone  

The time has come for a new pasquinata, an update that speaks about travels.

About halfway through March, I made my first visit to the Maki Games offices in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The guys at Maki Games are helping us develop the miniatures, providing consultancy on their technical features and production. 

We'd like for the PVC castings to be as close as possible to the original versions. We also had the opportunity to test several products from other companies, but were only happy with a few of the results. We'd like to try and avoid any mistakes because our models are the cornerstone of Nova Aetas.

At the beginning of April I visited Riverside in California, to see our partner Fritz. 

We worked on the company to perfect the way our supplier relations are handled, as well the way the entire art department is managed. At the moment, our team is composed of 7 illustrators and 5 sculptors that are working on Nova Aetas.

Daniele has strengthened relations with PandaGM and had a long phone conversation regarding the production of the miniatures. 

We know about the quality of their materials and so we are pleased to announce that by May, we should be able to show you the first test castings.

Given the rapid development of the game, we will include a prospectus on the progress of works each month.

We are also planning our participation in Essen 2016, where we plan to bring demonstration boards for Nova Aetas and.... Sine Tempore (temporary name), our new game about which we will provide more details in the next update.

As usual, I leave you with a few new images, enjoy:

 Stay tuned!!!
