Latest Updates from Our Project:

The Journey goes on!

There is many more to explore in the Voidverse! (These are mockups)

Hi Backers,

sooo, we have included a second wave of Collector Boxes for those, who have found our Kickstarter a bit later. And they are already gone down 33% of them already.  Please dont forget, that you can choose the digital version of the boxes as an Add-On after you pledge for lower tiers.  Making 222 boxes should be near our max capacity, we might add a few boxes for the last 48 days, but thats not 100% set yet. Better grab them now than never, if you really like to collect stuff.

PDF Previews: Kurosawa's Garden

Here is a little glimpse on the design of Kurosawa's Garden, the extra limited Pamphlet Adventure from the collectors box.  As hinted before, it will be a sandbox crawl through a vast labyrinthian environment of  a failed terraforming experiment. 

What's that other Pamphlet on the Picture?

We have another sneak preview on the picture. Estraven Mineral Inc. The Downfall of Ikari V is hiding in our upcoming Stretch Goals. 

So stay tuned, we are not at the end of the Road yet.

SG 03: Into the Void and Beyond
over 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 04:08:39 AM

Hi Backers, 

welcome back to Patterns in the Void! 

We have updated our Landing Page a bit to make it less cluttered and a bit more clearer. More upates to the page will follow during the second week of our Kickstarter. 


We have reached SG 03 during the weekend and can now announce the Stretch Goals 04-06: 

SG 04: The Orpheus Corporation Set

In addition to the 2 Postcards and 3 Business cards already inside the Collectors Box, we will now include a set of props regarding the Orpheus Corporation, the main Corporation of 2 of our modules: Dreams of a Promised Land and Sandalphon & the Sleeping Angels

SG 05: The Void Dossiers No. 001

This will be a free short mini zine PDF of 12 pages to supplement our main Zine and give interested Warden a glimpse into our Voidverse setting and style. 

SG 06: Extra Transmissions

We will add a few extra Transmissions to enrich the game.  We will include in-game sound files of NPC recordings and transmissions received during the travels of the players.

Thats it for today!

SG 04-05 Reached! More Warden Collector's Boxes & preview to the future
over 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 19, 2022 at 04:33:37 PM

Dear Backers!

You have smashed through the current Stretch Goals 04 and 05 during the last few days.  We can now reveal the next goal: Extended Soundscapes!

Soundscapes

Alex and Manu are working hard to get first samples ready for you to listen to.  As this project was always created with the sound design being integral part of the project, we are now happy to be able to expand on these parts as well.

More Stretch Goals!

As you can guess through the veil of pixelated colors. The next 2 Stretch Goals afterwards will be printed goals and the final one a digital one.  We will have these great additions lined up for a rounded up and vastly expanded content of this campaign.

Warden Collector's Box Wave 2

After we asked your opinion about a second wave, we have now decided to make this possible and include a second wave of boxes. But please be aware that we assemble the content of these boxes by hand and put them all together ourselves. We need more time to do so. That is why these boxes will be shipped 4 months later than the first wave. We hope for your understanding.

Now, let's concentrate on more creative previews in the coming weekend and afterwards the final week.

Best regards,

Team Arcanum

Warden Collector's Edition sold out! 2nd wave?
over 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 19, 2022 at 08:40:34 AM

Hello Backers,

After approximately one week all 111 Warden Collector's Edition boxes are taken – we're absolutely overwhelmed by your massive support. Thank you all!

First inquiries about expanding the limit have reached us and we're thinking about ways of doing this without stepping on anyone's toe. We also have to keep an eye on our capabilities which is the initial cause for the cap.


So please feel free to leave your thoughts about a potential 2nd wave here in the comments!


Cheers

SG2 - The Angels have arrived!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 09, 2022 at 02:55:35 AM

Hi Backers, 

the next Stretch Goal has been met, while we are writing this update. The Sandalphon Pamphlet Module will be included in all digital Pledge Levels and will be printed for both the Core and Collector's Edition

Have a look here:

The Design is not final, this is a mockup.
Here are the pages spread out.

The back side is still waiting for completion.

As an incentive and work sample, the PDF will also be PWYW during this Kickstarter campaign. Afterwards it will be set up at Itch.io for  ~ 3 USD

This sample above is not yet edited by proofreaders.

So whats next?

Stretch Goal 3 is waiting at the 8.000 EUR line. We will expand the back side of the Poster Map and include information and gaming material there. This is a great way to expand the material without bloating up the pledges. 

Best regards,

The Arcanum Team
