Lords of the Stars [Kickstarter]

Post by silvaril »

Heya

One of the folks heavily into Modding Sword of the Stars has developed a Hex Tile Based Board Game and is now trying to raise funds for extra Artworks per the Publishers request:

Campaign Page wrote:This campaign is about a board game that i`m currently actively developing. Its a Space 4x table top game with hexagonal map, detailed ship tokens, random events and encounters, traditional resources (food, minerals, research) and customisable ships. Its about choices that a leader of a newborn spacefaring empire has to make in order to achieve prosperity and wealth to his people and secure it from aggressors.
Campaign Goals wrote:This particular campaign is started to raise funds for an artist. The 80% of graphics in the game are done by me - all planets, stars, ships, tokens and other stuff was either done in Photoshop or in Illustrator. But i`m not an artist and i can`t create proper race portraits that my publisher requests me to have.

I`m working on this game solo and i don`t have enough money to pay for a set of 7 race portraits and a several large scale drawings, so that`s where your contributions will mostly go. Exscess funds will be used to further improve the game, here are the certain improvements that LS will get for reaching the listed sums:

$1000 - all 7 races will receive high quality portraits and full descriptions in rulebook.
$2500 - rulebook and the box will be decorated with high quality images of various space events, battles and just beatiful scenes.
$5000 - an additional silicon based race and set of all required tokens, hexes and cards to support 6 players.
$10000 - leaders, senate and voting will be added to the game (this was originally planned as an expansion).

Ah, the legacy of Twilight Imperium. Whereas other genres of board games have wildly different board layouts, 4x space games always seem to end up using hexes.
Insert witty comment here.
