Shuriken Showdown & Kamakura Mobile App Preview

Oops it looks like I slipped while I was holding these screenshots.






The development process is going smoothly! We're excited to be working on both games. Shuriken Showdown seems to be the easiest to recreate and will most likely see the light of day first. Some great ideas brewing between me an Lee for the next shuriken game and all of us have been thinking of fun ways to incorporate touch controls on Kamakura.

Stay tuned for more!

Kamakura Posters and Cards Arrived!

Posters

You'll be glad to hear we'll be shipping out the Kickstarter levels this week. Below is a video of unboxing the posters.



We're very happy with how the posters turned out.

Cards

The deck prints however, turned out differently than we would have liked. The box art is a touch duller than we wanted and the back of the cards is not the brown we had in the digital proofing. We found that the outside box art varied in color and a few of the decks we opened had a bit of color off the edges. It is very important to us that you get a good deck so we handpicked each of the decks we're sending out as well as sorting out misprinted and dull colored boxes.

If your deck has any problems at all let us know and we'll ship you a new one with no charge. Quality is important to us, more than likely we will not be doing business with this printing company again and are actively seeking a new company to print our next round of decks. If you feel your deck isn't up to standard, let us know and we'll ship you a new one when we print again.

After we get all of the shipping done we'll be posting the names of the Kickstarter Backers on our website. Again, if for any reason you don't want your name to appear on our website as a backer please let us know.

On a side note, we've been working hard on getting Kamakura to the iPod, iPad and Android.
We'll start shipping off the $15 pledges early this week followed by the $30 and up. We'll all be together to sign material for the other pledges on Wednesday September, 14. We will have all the pledges done by the end of this week at the latest.
Thanks for your patience and your support! We love all of you.

Kamakura Special Cases & Box Art!

We posted another update on our Kamakura Card Game. Check it out:

Things are going steady over at Dyad Games. We just received the Kamakura Special Wooden Cases! See Video Below.



The boxes are cherry wood with brass hinges, black felt inside and custom Laser etched Logo on the top. Such a classy reward for the $80 pledges.

We also wanted to thank our backers by posting the names of the Kickstarter Backers on our website once we have completed the Shipping and everything has been finalized. If for any reason you don't want your name to appear on our website as a backer please let us know.

We also have a preview of our box art below.



It took us a little longer than we expected to get the order finalized for the cards boxes and instructions but we will keep you updated on the arrival of the cards as well as any details. Thanks for your patience.

Kamakura Kickstarter Is Over!



The Kamakura Kickstarter has officially ended after 40 days. We raised $5,063 from 189 backers! We could not have done this without you guys! A HUGE thanks to all of the card game blogs, twitter reposts and everyone who's supported us on this endeavor.

Update: We also need all the backers to reply to the Kickstarter survey for your shipping address! This is super important and you have a month to do so.

Kamakura Interview with The Noble Gamer


We scored an interview over at The Noble Gamer

Board/card game projects on Kickstarter seem to be all the rage these days. Not that I’m complaining! The more games to get published the better, in my book. But because of this, I find myself needed to browse the Board and Card Game section on Kickstarter.com rather frequently, looking for something that might catch my attention. Kamakura was one that fit into that category. I’ll let the guys over at Dyad Games describe the game for you:
Check out the Interview with new concept art by Clicking Here.

Thanks for the help Ian!

Kamakura Kickstarter & Italy in Italics

Hey if you haven't already, you can check out our new Kickstarter for Kamakura.

"Kamakura is our new card game of feudal japanese warfare in which you attempt to defeat an opponent by taking their territories before they take yours. This is done by carefully choosing combinations of weapons, soldiers, and arrow barrages to attack with while defending your own territories with a myriad of defensive techniques. Strategy, deception, and bravery will be your most valuable assets in the complex and varied game of Kamakura."


Also we went all out by making a motion graphic How To Play, Sleek Website and Free Art Wallpapers. You better get your butt over to:

www.dyadgames.com/kamakura

In the music realm we're mixing one of our songs "Italy in Italics". You should expect this beauty in less than a week...

It's been Weeks!

Since we've updated... I understand your rage, however we've had somewhat of a setback for the Kamakura Cards. We need to make a Kickstarter video to launch the fundraiser and we've all been busy doing whatever it is we do-but, expect the Kamakura video this week.

Shuriken Showdown had a quick live update, you no longer have to hit the multi-shuriken targets! Better late than never right? ... right?

As for the Band, expect us to release a new song and another surprise this earlier this week.
