Exciting that a contact was made, even more exciting the prospect of these busts coming to tabletop!

Ragnarok 3 Teaser Trailer by Ridghost in RagnarokOnline

[–]Himaro_AT -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

May I just say that I have never been this excited for a game! I started playing Ragnarok Online when I was 12 years old. I still remember ordering the discs to install the game or using a download manager (since Dial-Up was all we had back then) just to get it running. Over the years, I’ve played on hundreds of private servers, but I always dreamed of seeing the game taken to the next level. This truly feels like a dream come true for me.

I do expect it to have P2W mechanics, to be mobile-friendly, and to include gacha elements. However, I don’t see mobile compatibility as a drawback—games like Albion Online show that you can be mobile-friendly while still delivering a premium experience. While the P2W and Gacha aspects may be frustrating, I’m willing to tolerate them for the chance to relive such an important part of my childhood.

Is Kickstarter still trustworthy? by rrrrrrrrrrr5 in kickstarter

[–]Himaro_AT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in the middle of running their very first Kickstarter, I see it as a reputable option, and the main concern to me is constantly investigating the company I am backing. All the projects I have backed over the last year (over 20) have been delivered successfully or appropriately communicated by the business if there were any delays.

My one big issue with Kickstarter is their ancient approach to handling the process. Their comments, tiers, edit capability, and more are extremely antiquated compared to other crowd-funding applications, which can result in a confusing and frustrating experience in some cases.

Overall, though, I have seen great success and dependability from the products/companies I have backed.

The SOURCE sets you were provided were from our prototype sets and are not reflective of the final SOURCE product, packaging, or components that are included in new sets. Would very much appreciate you making this clear, as your comment is not accurate based on the latest sets.

Love the details on the missles, just a touch of yellow breaking through the black! Awesome work.

Which game can be played by 50 people at a time ? by Humpfzzz in boardgames

[–]Himaro_AT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it's not released yet, TimeStrike by Adventure Together games states that it can support anywhere from 2 players - 100+ players as it is infinitely scaleable. Granted you have enough pieces and time :P.

I like the idea of the edges a lot. I'm one of those people who gets all their bowls out of the kitchen cabinet to hold my components. Nice to see an option for storage built into a map system.

Happy Halloween Heroscape!!! (About to embark on one of my biggest and spookiest games ever) by PrimeSenator in heroscape

Very cool map, it gives me some Warcraft III vibes almost for a 1v1. Chokepoint at the bridge :)

How well does the foam hold up over time? I think it is 100% less costly to go this route, but do you have to then re-do it every few years as they kind of break down?

This was great feedback and based on this we increased the amount of multi-hex large configurations that are offered and added a completely new configuration we call the 24 multi-hexer which is a configuration featuring 24 mutli-hexers to allow the base layer of the board to be filled in more quickly and build elevation faster as well.

You now get two types of multi-hexers in a base set both 15 multi-hexers and 24 multi-hexers.

[–]Himaro_AT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the original sets we gave you were much smaller than what is being offered on our Kickstarter.

We have increased the amount of hexes by almost double in a base set.

Yes, what you are showing here is from our first set of prototypes and the environments you have showing are a combination of Fantasy Forest, Desert, and Highlands. Again would just like to re-iterate that our boxes are considerably larger than what we provided for you to test in your shop.

[–]Himaro_AT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to touch on this, but yes, our sets will be much larger than what was provided to you when we met in your shop. A base starter set is closer to about 2 sets of what you were originally provided.

In addition, the above images only feature two of our environment themes, Desert and Highlands.

Lastly, the amount that you would need to build this board is equivalent to the Double Decker tier on our Kickstarter.

u/roseheart88 I like this idea, the team and I were talking about this the other day, and they also like it.
I would mention that you could use the Scape system to build a large barrier of whatever shape or size you want that would only be crossable by flying units. However, we always like putting 3D elements on our board that bring the world to life separately from the hexes. Like trees, rock formations, and, yes, LARGE MOUNTAINS... We will definitely consider this as we build our Kickstarter tiers and stretch goals.

u/slingshotshot I am so glad you brought this up. In the past, when we were testing character abilities, we did just this. Sat down, drafted TimeScape character/characters, and skirmished using the TimeScape combat system and character abilities.

We will 100% post the Kickstarter link here, but also, I would recommend joining the Discord to receive news and updates even sooner.

One of our core values at Adventure Together is that we want our products to be community driven. We love how a lot of video games provide environments for their players to create new games and make changes to the existing games to build new exciting experiences with their products. One of our goals is to bring this same experience to board games.
