Steps Beyond Kickstarter, and What's Next...
about 2 years ago – Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 08:22:28 PM

Pilots, we have our first underway update and we couldn’t be more thrilled! This last week the two of us have been essentially non-stop high-fiving, filled with the joy that can only come from seeing our fledgling game take its first fluttering flaps towards flight.

For many of you this isn’t your first crowdfunding campaign, but if it is, here’s what to expect in the immediate future:

1.  We're working on pledge collection. There are some t’s that need to be crossed and i’s dotted to let us turn the pledges you’ve all generously made into dollars we can utilize to fund art and develop the proofs we’ll need to eventually scale up production. We expect to have this fully squared away by the beginning of next week. 
2. Then we’ll be coordinating with our partners at BackerKit to not only begin the process of coordinating fulfillment (down the road) but also setting up to take late pledges in case any of you (or your friends) missed out on the opportunity for goodies. 
3. Then, still next week, we anticipate sending out backer surveys to collect any additional information for fulfillment (including any statuette selections!) 

Here’s what to expect next.

Thanks to you we’re now going to carry SALVAGE: Deep Space the rest of the way across the finish line. Along the way we want to let you, our backers, stay up to date on progress and peek in every so often to see what cool stuff we’re working on. In that interest, we’re going to be posting updates bi-weekly (every other week) starting next Friday with the announcement of our completed stretch goal ($40k!) the Sample Party!

After that expect updates every two weeks with information on the project status. As always, if you have any thoughts, comments, or questions we want to hear from you! Hit us up on Social @3301Games almost everywhere.

With gratitude,
Sean and Cap, 3301 Games

Pilots - We did it!

Pilots - We did it!

Thanks to your support and enthusiasm SALVAGE: Deep Spaceis officially a go! While we (technically) have been funded for a bit over a week now, our late surge allowed us to surpass our first Stretch Goal - The Sample Party (more on that soon).

We are thrilled and humbled that you believe enough in this project to give us your support. Our next steps are clear in finishing the design, optimization, production and fulfillment of what we hope will become one of the best board games you have ever unboxed.

In the very near future we'll be collecting your pledge surveys. Once the dust settles a bit we will be making consistent updates in order for you to track the game’s progress. We also may periodically reach out with polls/questions to gain your insight on what your preferences would be. Our line of communication is always open and we sincerely hope you reach out with any questions.

In gratitude,

Matt and Sean, 3301 Games

Even during our campaign, the progress on SALVAGE: Deep Space continues!

Here you can see some of the design iterations we're doing this week, giving our Pilot Sheets and Suit Cards a facelift! Each additional version we hope to bring more readability,  ease of play, and immersion to the game components. Here they are isolated:

As backers of the project, your feedback is important to us. We'd love to hear what you think! And if you have any cool ideas or input,  post them here or hit us up on social! And, just in case the animated gifs don't load right or aren't your thing, here are some side-by-side comparisons.
