Official Update (39 / 18)

=> Kickstarter Update #39
=> GameFound Update #18 (should be the same as Kickstarter)

Highlights:

  1. The game hit 3,000 backers during Late Pledges [which are still open, likely until about July 2025]

  2. NextMars is currently working on 10 new illustrations for the campaign books to establish environments and world building in the beginning or end of missions (if appropriate and there is room).


  1. Crowd funding also has been doing Crown Proofreading… and a lot of errors have been corrected (thank you guys!). Next is making sure characters are consistent and that the storytelling is both meaningful and impactful.
    Example page 721 from the Campaign books:

    Lisa has joined for this … she also wrote some background story books (ie, novels) around the Burning Suns universe:

  2. Collaboration with MagiCraft (manufacturer) is on going and they are very proactive in their communication. After several iterations, the [cool] plastic stand is now ready. Here is a look at it when it was a “work in progress”:

    MagiCraft suggested some minor changes that would make it both better and stronger, such as softening and curving the edges to avoid flaying the cardboard (suggestion accepted!).
    The dossier envelopes also have been improved based on suggestions received and now will be a more rigid envelope type:
  3. Production timeline and overview:

    Estimate that it will be completed and fulfilled by September 2025. “*” indicates that pre-production is completed.

  4. Rogue Angels was mentioned in the Danish Podcast (queued to Rogue Angels part):

Rogue Angels was demoed at the Danish board game event in Aarhus. Next will be the roleplaying and board game event, Fastaval, in Hobro, Denmark which will include a meet up with Martin and a few backers too!

James did a demo at WinterCon in the USA

Several people who have prototype miniatures have painted them (quite intriguing too!)

And many have been enjoying the Print N Play edition [Len calls it the Travel Edition]


  1. More play demos have been arranged (time is 21:00 GMT+2):

  2. Also, you can join the Discord or check out the Tabletop Simulator mod
  3. A future update will likely talk about how Emil built the branching paths in the story and the programs that he has used (likely once everything is being produced).
  4. Final notes from Emil:
    The more I re-read the story, the more I look forward to bringing you this experience. Hopefully you will enjoy it and it will raise the bar for story-driven games :)
    Thanks again for getting this far – and for all the encouraging support, the feedback and dialogue on Discord and here, I really appreciate it :) Also those of you who have just joined via the Gamefound for late-pledges.
