Dwarven Smithy - Relaunch Update #3

8/22/2017

0 Comments

 
Hello Smiths!

28 days from the relaunch on September 19th!

Gen Con 50 was a huge success! We'd like to thank all the playtesters and backers that stopped by to say hello (even play a game!). Game balance is solid and starting with four resources helped speed up the beginning of the game. Adding a new 3 denomination coin had mixed reviews, so we'll do some more evaluation.

On to the News!
  • Art for the new icons are in, we are busy updating the cards and we will update the website by the end of the week. 
  • Work continues with Tantrum House on updating the Kickstarter page. We had to wait until the new icons were in before we started all the card graphic work.
  • ​All games are out to the reviewers. We also sent a game to Richard Ham @ Rahdo runs through. We should have 6 new reviews for the Kickstarter.

We continue to need your support, rating and comments on Board Game Geek.

Demos of the game will be at three conventions during the Kickstarter.
- Cincitycon October 6-8th (Cincinnati, OH)
- Queen city Conquest Sept 8-9th (Buffalo, NY)
- Oddmall Hallowondrous October 14-15th (Toledo, OH)

Thanks again everyone and keep getting the word out. With your help, we'll get funded the 1st day, work fast on stretch goals and get the game to you as soon as possible. 

We'll update everyone in 2 weeks on our progress.

Thanks,  
Mike, Craig, and Charlie

Dwarven Smithy - Relaunch Update #2

8/14/2017

Hello, Fellow Smiths!

We are about one month from relaunching the Dwarven Smithy Kickstarter on September 19th. We want to thank you again for supporting our game and hope on the next campaign, we earn your support once again.    

Social Media
  • Ads will start in the next few weeks. 
  • We said this in the last campaign too, but getting the word out is key to funding the game. When you see a post for the game, be sure to like, retweet and share. 
  • We need your support on Board Game Geek - https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/198414/dwarven-smithy
  • Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/FlatworksGaming/
  • Twitter - https://twitter.com/flatworksgaming
​
Conventions
  • We are gearing up for Gen Con this week. We have 14 sold out events and will try to run events on the side. 
  • We'll be in the First Exposure Playtest Hall (FEPH) each day at Gen Con so please, stop by and see us.
  • We have demo tables lined up for Cincitycon October 6-8th.

Gameplay
  • We've added a new startup step where players start the game with four unrefined resources in their workshop. 
  • This speeds up gameplay and removes the feeling of the delay on the first two turns.
 
Reviews
  • Games were sent to Unfiltered Gamer, Board Game Quest, All Us Geeks and Tantrum House for review.
  • Special thanks to Tom Pellitieri (Santa Tom), who offered to run several games at the Queen city Conquest convention in Buffalo, NY Sept 8th, and 9th.

Kickstarter
  • We are working with the Tantrum House to freshen up the Kickstarter Page.
  • The game is getting new icons and coin art from a talented artist, Karin Wittig.
  • We added a new coin denomination, 3s, and also colored the coins for easy sorting.
  • We are in the process of making custom metal coins available through the Kickstarter. We need to sell at least 50 sets of 80 coins to justify and cover the cost to make them.
  • We will update the website as soon as the new art is added to the cards and coins. 

Unlike other games, where the Kickstarters get you in at the base level and then add components to complete the game. Dwarven Smithy is a complete game without any stretch goals. Our goals will focus on better components/quality in the game, not quantity. 

Thanks,
Mike, Craig, and Charlie
