Very special limited time offer - Brutal double-handed NAGINATA
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 01:55:28 PM

Brutal double-handed NAGINATA

Dear friends, 

As some of you have correctly pointed out, project update #4 on October 23rd mentioned a KS exclusive naginata being offered up on a time-limited basis with a timeframe before the initial 20k funding goal. However, the goal had been surpassed before it was posted, so here it comes! 


It will be revealed on our KS page as a time-limited offer for next 5 days.  
This will be the only naginata offered during the campaign. 

It is so far the only double-handed weapon offered during the campaign and as you can notice it has really cool cyberpunk look.

We hope that you like it and that that it will help you to crush all the upcoming opponents in arenas.

Go for it! :)

100% FUNDED, FIRST STRETCH GOAL REVEAL
over 5 years ago – Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 03:23:39 AM

Dear friends, it is finally a reality, we've reached 100% 

Thank you! You are awesome. It is people like you that drive us to make better and more entertaining games! Thank you for all your comments and feedback. I promise we will consider it we are already having a passionate discussion about all the insights that we got from you. Thanks! 


FIRST STRETCH GOAL > RANGED WEAPONS

We've just killed the first goal, let's go for another! Hunt begins!


As stated in the stretch goal table, you might look forward to additional complexity and layer of tactics that could be added with this new feature. Each character would have one specific ranged weapon which can be used only once per round. Moreover, it can be blocked, so the fighting would be even more about proper timing and tactics! 

Sounds good? Help us to raise that additional amount and let's kill another goal together!


MASK CHALLENGE WINNERS

Our mask challenge is over and we've got names of winners! 

If you did not manage to participate, no worries we are preparing new activities and competitions!

By the way, you can still take a pic with our IG Mask of Oni filter, which is a cool way how to let your friends know that you are a fan! > Instagram

Stay tuned!

DAY IN THE LIFE OF CREATOR VLOG

DAY IN THE LIFE OF CREATOR VLOG

This episode features Martin "Bendo" Benetin who is our Systems programmer. 

The way how he described himself in our team table is ''Shadow programmer'' as his work is invisible to a player until something breaks. Therefore we decided to roll up the curtains and to bring some light :) You can get to know martin better through this short Dain the life Vlog.


+You can also spot a sneak peek of the game's UI in the video as it shows game's character selection screen, which will most likely have a form of card selection. Check it out!
