Abandon Planet

Rocket voting results!
almost 8 years ago – Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 03:55:22 PM

The week of voting on the final rockets is complete! Check out the...

Your space chariots await! Some of the votes were landslides and others were neck and neck. For example you strongly preferred the above red, white and black rockets over their counterparts (though I wish DS9 had made it!). We made executive decisions on only two rockets (yellow and blue), whose votes were both extremely close. We chose them because they best fit the styles of the other 6 you clearly favored.

Did your favorite rocket not make it? Just wait for the 3D printing files, and you'll be able to make them yourselves! This is pretty easy through companies like Shapeways and other 3D printing services. We plan to deliver the files in a couple weeks, since we'll be finalizing them with the manufacturer first. At that time we'll also be releasing the full color PnP.

And now, the really big part happens! We're talking with Panda and getting samples, and looking forward to getting production under way. We'll keep you updated as your rockets are built!

Final Rocket Voting! And... Holiday Cards!
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Dec 23, 2016 at 03:54:19 AM

It's time for the final vote on which rockets will be included in the game! This will be done similarly as before - on the Abandon Planet website - but we'll be verifying emails with the ones on our list of Backers to verify that only Backer votes count. So when you vote, be sure to put in the same email address you use for Kickstarter. We're excited to see the results!!

Vote HERE - Voting ends Tuesday, Dec. 27th!

 

Holiday Cards: Are you gifting Abandon Planet? Nice! We've put together a lovely little card you can print and deliver to your potential interstellar flight partner. Click HERE or on the image below to be taken to the site, where you can download and print your card. If you'd like, scroll to the bottom of the download page to access the images directly. 

 

Happy Pre-Apocalypse Holidays!!

90K FUNDED, 200 PERCENT! ...And that's a wrap!!!
almost 8 years ago – Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 01:59:40 AM

Alright. Breathing now. Breathing enough that I can type Thank You.

Thank you for making this project a reality. Because of you, Orange Machine Games is now a real thing. Because of everyone here, Abandon Planet will be arriving to over 2,000 doors mid next year. We can't wait to get the manufacturing process underway!

Rocket Voting: Early next week, voting on final rocket designs will begin! Bobby has been analyzing all the results and updating the rockets on a daily basis, and they're pretty awesome. In fact it'll be great to send you the voting survey so that we don't have to make the tough decision on which 8 rockets will be in the game! Whooh, that's a relief. Here's a taste of the updates Bobby's been cooking up:

Look for an email early next week about voting! Once we send it, you'll have about a week for final decisions. After that, we'll make final art edits, and then enter the world of pre-production and production!! We'll keep you updated as these rockets come together.

Again - Thank You. From the warped metal heart of the Orange Machine. And Jason. And Bobby. And Don.  

55K funded and... Custom Resource Tokens!
almost 8 years ago – Mon, Dec 19, 2016 at 10:21:53 AM

We just hit 55K in funding!! That's fantastic - Thank you!! Here's what we've got for you in this update:

Custom Resource Tokens: wooden cubes are a totally workable solution for resources, but wouldn't items that represent Tools, Parts, Food, Tech, Fuel, and Scrap be awesome? Well, that's what we'd love to deliver! Check these out:

Bobby has worked hard to create wooden tokens that match the items you'll need to build a rocket equipped for interstellar travel. If we hit 65k in funding, we're ready to have these beautiful resource tokens included in the game. It would be great to use these in the final version - help us get there! Spread the word!!

Pre-order price: Some time after the campaign is over, we'll be offering Abandon Planet for pre-order at $39.99 (current price is $35). So if you're thinking about ordering, NOW is the best time for the best price, with the shipping rates we've set up for this campaign. This is a thank you to our backers, to let you know your support is important and incredibly valued. We hope to see you back in the next campaign!

Final week: The campaign is almost complete! It's been a great challenge that we've loved, and I'm excited to keep up the work of making and delivering great games. We continue to get submissions for votes on rockets, and if you haven't done that yet, head to the website and vote! This is it! The final week! Let's launch!!!

75K Stretch Goal Achieved!!
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 11:23:51 PM

We blew past the 75K Stretch goal in less than 24 hours!!!!!

This campaign has been astounding. Together we've funded the game, achieved a sweet plastic insert, custom wooden tokens, and files for 3D printing of all 16 custom rockets. At this point we're thrilled with this product. It's the one we wanted to make, and soon we'll be able to deliver it to you. Thank you!

With less than 30 hours left in the campaign, we're choosing not to add another Stretch goal. We could add more rules, more tiles, increase the number of players... but the fact is that from the very beginning, we've included the rules and pieces that we believe make the game great. We believe in this box, and we hope you do too!

So thank you for being here, and for helping this campaign succeed. We can't wait to wrap the campaign tomorrow and send you the final survey for rocket voting!
