Shipping Help-Sculpts-Survey answers
about 4 years ago – Thu, Feb 24, 2022 at 10:58:55 PM

Hi there, 

Hope you are ready for this update, lots of good news today!

Art. We started the campaign with quite a few WIP artwork and as time passed by, our artists work progressed. So here are some new sculpts from Rod Tinapay our amazing 3D artist!

The Plutonium bar, one of the fastest familios available, and the Shaolin Monkey, still seeking redemption for that awkward thing it said at a party, many years ago.

Hope you like them!

Shipping to "expensive" places. The shipping crisis is not our fault (we swear) and we don't make any profit on shipping. Nonetheless, shipping to some countries is so outrageous it makes our Outrageous Expansion look classy. We decided to give a 10 EUR discount to backers of the Huge Package from Australia and from the other countries included as Rest* (of the World) in the shipping table. These include Mexico and Israel, to name a few from where we know we have backers.  We are including this in the table with the other estimates soon, the final price may change with final weight etc, but the 10 EUR off will be the same.

According to our Survey, it seems that most of you are happy with how we are handling things, which is great to know. To answer to the most common feedback and concerns:

Visibility and marketing. We focused what remains of our budget for a final push. We have tons of BGG banners starting Tomorrow and Facebook ads from Saturday. We'll also be sending mails as if the unsubscribe button didn't exist. It should be good!

How to play video. It's too late to shoot and edit a How to play video before the campaign ends, but we will be livestreaming another game on Sunday and we'll go more in depth on the rules before starting! 

Page Layout. We are following some of your suggestions to make some "less-visible info" pop out more, thanks for the feedback! Expect these changes by tomorrow evening.

Before saying goodbye, we are getting into some cross promotion with other creators! If you like comics, Bernard, the creator of this project seems like a very nice person and the campaign has options for all price ranges, we are happy to support it :)

Languages and Timeline!

Hi all,

Thanks so much to all of those who filled our survey, you have been great! 

We'll get back to most of the points you raised by tomorrow, if in the meanwhile somebody else wants to fill it, it's totally anonymous, so feel free to roast us as you please!

 Feedback Survey! 

Translations. This will be sore, but we had promised an update in the last week, and here it is. Despite our efforts, we haven't managed to secure a large enough interest in copies in other languages than English. We will keep trying and maybe things will have changed by the time we get to Pledge Manager. 

What we can promise right now is that, if there is any interest, the rulebook will be available online in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. 

We realized we never gave you a timeline for how we want to operate, so here it is! Of course you will be updated along the way as well, and we'll be looking for playtesters and feedback on the art, as usual :)

Anything else you would like to know?

Painted minis, Polls, Surveys.

Hello Seekers of the Kabula! 

Before any other news, we want to thank Giorgos @sir_minilot for painting the three Guardian miniatures that were in his review copy: Water King, Floppy and Pepethlozle!

You can click on the image below to read his review. If you like miniatures and painting we'd suggest to follow him too, lots of cool stuff and tutorials!

Unlike in review copies, in the base game you'll also find a 4th Guardian, the Isochore: half lion, half unicorn, half pig, half awesomeness. 

The vote for the Rabbit Guardian in the Conspiracy Expansion has been a roller coaster of emotions, with backers threatening to invade the Capitol to support their candidate. On BGG, "B" wins 17-14. On Instagram (including stories) "A" wins 10-2. In the comments here, I am counting Delmer for A and Mark for B. FINAL RESULT, "A" the toad rabbit, wins for 25-20!

In a few days we'll enter the final climax of our campaign, a new Spring that will double our backers, smash all stretch goals and probably break a few World records. 

We need ourselves and our campaign page to be ready for this, and YOU are the only one who can tell us how to improve! We prepared a short survey and we'd love to hear your opinion!

Thanks for your answers and support, stay tuned for more exciting news!

Livestream and Rabbit Poll!
about 4 years ago – Mon, Feb 21, 2022 at 12:25:29 PM

Hello everyone, hope you're doing great and enjoying your Sunday!

We'll be livestreaming a playthrough at 7pm CET/ 1pm EST/ 10 a PT/5 am +1 Sidney time. 

In short, we are livestreaming in 1 hour or so :)

You can join here: https://www.twitch.tv/strangergamesstudio

We will reply to any questions you may have on discord (https://discord.gg/MxtCym63Er), on twitch or here in the comments!

Our artist Blanka is working on the second Guardian for the conspiracy expansion!

We are undecided between these two designs: we like to call them the toad rabbit (a) and the gaping rabbit (b). You can read more about them on BGG and vote your favourite!

We will show you the finished artwork before the campaign ends, so you can see the full process!

Needless to say, these are sketches, the quality of the result will be the same as all other artworks :) (Blanka did a good 70% of our monsters at this stage!)

Thanks a lot for all the support so far and see you very soon for our livestream!

One box to rule them all
about 4 years ago – Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 01:50:58 AM

Seekers of the Kabula, we got news!

We finally have enough info to make a final decision on the packaging! 

- We plan to fit the whole Huge Package (All In pledge) within a single box. This box will include all the content of the various packages in a more compact volume, easier to organize and ready to play. To do so, we'll need bigger boxes and two new designs for plastic trays, to fit all the components.

We have a few surprises planned before it, we'll unlock it when we get to 40k! 

-The Big Package will stay as 2 separate boxes. One for the core game and one for the miniatures. This is the solution that makes the most sense, given both the demand for the Big Package and our plans on distribution.

All the rest is as you can expect it, one box per item!

Big thanks to Icey, our project manager at Gameland, for all her support on the matter :)

We are quite excited about this update, we really wanted to have the huge package as a single physical entity. Let us know what you think of it!
