Upcoming Demos
over 2 years ago – Sat, Mar 26, 2022 at 08:59:22 PM

Happy Friday, backers. I'm happy to report that we've passed 60% of funding yesterday and still going strong. With two thirds left of the campaign to go, our numbers are looking great. Thanks for all your continued support and enthusiasm. 

I have two upcoming live demo sessions of Unition for those of you local to the DC area:

On Sunday, March 27th at 11am  I'll be at WashingCon at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center

(801 Mt Vernon Pl NW, Washington, DC 20001). The specific location is still to be determined. Keep an eye out for an update here or on Instagram. 

And on Tuesday, March 29th, at 6pm I'll be at Pair o' Dice Games in Fairfax, VA.

(10385 Main St, Fairfax, VA 22030)

Stop by, say hi, hit me with your questions, and take Unition out for a spin! And as always, keep sharing and spreading the word.

Have a great weekend!

Mike

Amazing start! And some updates on shipping.

Wow! What an amazing 24 hours it's been. I want to thank everyone for their enthusiasm, support, and generosity. I never would have expected we'd hit over a hundred backers and 40% of our goal so quickly. It's incredibly encouraging, and I'm excited and more hopeful than ever that success may be on the horizon. I still have a lot more work ahead of me in terms of promotion, but this much early support for the game makes that task a lot easier. So again: THANK YOU!

Of course, that doesn't mean there haven't been any bumps in the road. It was brought to my attention that our current fulfillment company doesn't ship to the UK or EU. I'd taken for granted that such major destinations would be included in their offerings, but ultimately my fault for not catching that sooner. I'm working with alternate fulfillment companies now to get a solution for all our backers in the UK and across Europe, and as soon as I have those rates, I'll post them in an update. Knowing we have support all over the globe is incredible and I'm going to make sure our UK and EU supporters are taken care of as well. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Finally, we've added some product shots to the campaign page to show the components in more detail. Keep in mind the product we have now is a prototype and will actually improve in quality once we get to production.

On to Day 2!

Whoa-- we're halfway there!

Hello backers, and happy Friday!

I'm thrilled to report we've passed the halfway mark late last night, and we're now sitting at 51%. That's incredible progress for just the first three days of the campaign. While the initial backing surge has tapered off, we're still going at a rate that should bring us past our funding target. For that I'm excited and still very thankful for all your support. We're doing this thing!

Last night the guys at Aleventures organized an in-person preview at Saga Games, a local shop in Frederick, MD. It was excellent meeting new folks and fans of the game and seeing how they each brought their unique strategies (and questions!) to the table. I'm planning on doing more in-person previews at different stores in the area-- stay tuned for more, and check out Saga Games in the meantime. 

Lastly, an update on shipping-- I'm closing in on some pricing for the costs for UK/EU folks and should have an answer early next week. Thanks for your patience!

Hi everyone! I just posted our updated shipping prices to include the UK and EU. I'm still doing a little bit of additional research on shipping and fulfillment to see if I can improve your rates. If I find something better, I'll post an update. 

I'm scheduling more in-person demos with local game shops. if you have a favorite game shop or place to play near the DC area, please let me know! I'd love to stop by and give a preview of Unition's gameplay.

As for the campaign itself, we're just a few backers shy of hitting 60% of our goal! If you're excited about the game, be sure to share the campaign with your circle of friends. As a first time indie designer, any extra boost in awareness is huge in helping me spread the word.  And if you've bookmarked the campaign and have been following along, hop on in and join the fun! Getting pledges in early always helps with keeping enthusiasm high and attracting new backers. 

If anyone has any questions or requests, please let me know either through comments or sending a message directly. I enjoy getting to know my backers and I want this campaign to be the best it can be. 

Thanks,

Mike
