… Play Heavenly Games
Join in the final hours of celebrating a successful Kickstarter campaign and looking forward to the final game next year. Come share moments, thoughts and laughter with the Rogue Angels Team! It’s all happening as part of the Facebook Event on Sunday, October 1 at 19:00 CEST (13:00 EST)
Highlights:
Rogue Angels has been featured several times at Merlin’s Manor and he enjoys the game a lot. Here is a clip from one of his Rogue Angels videos:
Here is a snapshot from this clip (you can click on the image):
I received a copy of the prototype today.
Yay!
I thought that I would make a quick video showing you what was inside my prototype box (thank you Emil Larsen for arranging for me to get this prototype!). Of course the final game will be complete and place holder graphics will be final graphics, etc. Photos of the box it came in (from another reviewer who was finished with it) are below the video window:
What is interesting is that Emil Larsen (game designer / developer along with many other on this super fantastic team) put together 50 prototypes and then numbered and signed each one! As a family of Elementary School Teachers, I have put together many kits of materials for 30 students in a classroom, so I know what it is like putting these kits together. Emil put together 50 plus each was far more intricate with many more components. I’d hate to hear how long it took him to put all the prototype boxes together!
Next… Photos of the box that UPS delivered to me today:
And a peek at what was inside when I opened it:
Rogue Angels now includes Deployable Hardware! I’m not sure what that is so I can’t give you detailed info about it right now, but it reminds me of ISS Vanguard equipment tokens that you could place on your current location on the map. This should add some depth (um, not depth charges) to the game!
Here are the words that caught my eye!!!
Here is the Stretch Goal that was just added to the game:
Twelve new terrain tiles PLUS 6 more maps with associated missions and setups! I think that we just may get these two stretch goals since we have 3 more days and maybe the last day will be when stragglers make up their minds to get in on this wonderful experience (aka a “game”)
I just happened to be in the neighborhood and checked … WOW … we are BEYOND 100,000 Euros already and still a couple days to go! Bravo!
Rogue Angels is in the News!
=> Mass Effect-style board game Rogue Angels soars past funding goals with a few days to go
Here is a clip from the news article:
As any Mass Effect fan will tell you, while the series’ combat may be thrilling, the game’s real heart is in its characters. From Garrus to EDI, gamers fell in love with the crew of the Normandy and their camaraderie. In truly emulating Mass Effect, Rogue Angels will also feature a deep focus on characters and their evolving relationships. Coupled with a deep narrative and an extensive breadth of world building, Rogue Angels should have something to satisfy almost any prospective player.
I’ve enjoyed the One Stop Coop Shop videos for years now. They have a variety of ways of presenting games that helps us understand not just the game but whether or not we would LIKE the game. Rogue Angels hits that LIKE button quite nicely for me and also for Kim in this clip with Steve:
