Latest Updates from Our Project:

Less Than 45 Hours to Go and the Candrake is UNLOCKED!!!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 03:20:56 PM

Stretch Goal #18: UNLOCKED

With less than 45 hours to go, we've unlocked a new terrifying (and yet somehow still adorable) Monster Room Tile: Candrake. This little terror will be added to everyone's order who backed us at a pledge tier. 

We Candrake 'til you add it to your Heroes of Barcadia base game. (Get it? Like we can't wait... which loosely rhymes with Candrake??? Okay, we're trying.)

What's Next? 

Our final Stretch Goal, the Coin of Chaos, will unlock at the one million mark. Will we make it? We certainly hope so. 

The Coin of Chaos is a metal coin that's especially useful (or chaotic) for battle with the Grand Drink Guardian. You'll flip the coin before a battle with the Grand Drink Guardian. If it's heads, you must brave your fate by rolling the Die of Barcane Chaos. If tails, you can proceed with the battle as usual. It's one more hurdle (or blessing) before the final battle.  

We'll add it to everyone's order who backed us at a pledge tier if we unlock it!!  

Social Stretch Goal Update

Now for our Hero for Hire Power-Up Card update! We actually made quite a bit of progress since last time, so here's our updated numbers: 

Instagram's goal has been met! For the remaining three, here's where we're at: 73.2% of the way on Facebook, 67.4% of the way on YouTube, and 82.2% of the way on TikTok. 

WE'RE SO CLOSE!! Want to help us unlock this card?

Another STL Has Been Unlocked! Plus... What's In Store For the Rest of the Campaign
about 2 months ago – Sun, Oct 06, 2024 at 09:30:43 AM

Our last update's countdown stopped at FOUR because we only have about four more days left in the campaign, so naturally, we're continuing with this one. 

Today, we have THREE stretch goal updates to talk about. 

Stretch Goal #17: UNLOCKED

Brewtus is now available to join the game in ALL forms because his STL file was just unlocked. We'll provide this (and the other STLS files) for free to anyone who backed us at a pledge tier.  

But when will the STLs be ready? 

Good question! The images we're using for our stretch goals are mock-ups, so we still have some fine-tuning to do. But we'll be sure to release them when we start shipping everything else out. 

What's Next? 

We have TWO remaining Stretch Goals left to unlock for the end of the campaign. 

Our next Stretch Goal is an adorable, but dangerous little Monster Room Tile: the Candrake. It's a pretty powerful enemy, so make sure you strategize if you find yourself going up against it. 

As with our other Monster Room Tiles, if we reach our goal ($925,000) and unlock Candrake, it'll be added to everyone's order who backed us at a pledge tier.  

But WAIT, there's More! 

THE COIN OF CHAOS WILL UNLOCK AT THE ONE MILLION MARK!

The Coin of Chaos will be a metal coin that's especially useful (or chaotic) for battle with the Grand Drink Guardian. We're talking ENDGAME stakes. 

You'll flip the coin before a battle with the Grand Drink Guardian. If it's heads, you must brave your fate by rolling the Die of Barcane Chaos. If tails, you can proceed with the battle as usual. It's one more hurdle (or blessing) before the final battle.  

If we hit this Stretch Goal, the Coin of Chaos will also be added to everyone's order who backed us at a pledge tier.  

Social Stretch Goal Update

We've got ONE more thing to talk about. (That concludes or countdown.) And that's an update on where we're at on our journey to unlock the Hero for Hire Power-Up Card.

We reached 573.8% of our goal on Instagram, so thank you for your love on that platform. Now, to tackle the remaining three: we're 58.8% of the way on Facebook, 54% of the way on YouTube, and 74.4% of the way on TikTok.

Four More Days Left! What Else Will We Unlock?!
about 2 months ago – Sat, Oct 05, 2024 at 07:38:09 PM

Stretch Goal #16: UNLOCKED

Cheers, Glass Character Cup aficionados! And also cheers to our Enhanced Sparkle Dice enthusiasts! We've reached the magic number, and Brewtus' Glass Character Cup stretch goal add-on and enhanced D20 are unlocked!   

Although we unlocked these add-ons together, the die is now added to the Enhanced Sparkle Dice Set. That brings the total number of dice in that pack to SIX!

Brewtus' Glass Character Cup is now an add-on, and can be added to your order for $12.

What's Next? 

When we hit $850,000, we'll give everyone who backed us at a tier level a free STL of Brewtus! That would bring our total number of STL Heroes for Hire to FIVE

Counting is actually an important part of today's update because we only have FOUR more days to go in our campaign. 

Hopefully, we can unlock the STL file and the social stretch goal. Fingers crossed!  

Brewtus is HERE!!! Add Him as an Add-On Today!

Stretch Goal #15: UNLOCKED

We're finally able to say it: BREWTUS IS HERE!!!!!! 

We've reached our goal and can finally unlock Brewtus as a stretch goal add-on. 

You can add him to your order for $15. This includes his plastic Character Cup, d20, 5 Power-Up Cards, 5 Loot Cards, and his Signature Move card: Benevolent Barkeep. 

Brewtus' signature move is pretty cool. It allows you to heal an opponent of your choice by 10HP if you roll an even number. But as payment, they must give you a Loot Card. Gotta pay that bar tab, right? 

What's Next? 

Up next is Brewtus' glass Character Cup and enhanced sparkle die. If we reach $800,000, it'll be unlocked as a stretch goal add-on. The glass will be available for $12, and the die will be added to the Enhanced Sparkle Dice Add-On.  

Thank you all for helping us unlock Brewtus. We can't wait to blast through these stretch goals and reach his STL file as well! 

STLs For All!!! And Brewtus is Next!
about 2 months ago – Thu, Oct 03, 2024 at 11:48:44 AM

Stretch Goal #15: UNLOCKED

We've reached $750,000, inching ever so closely to those Brewtus stretch goal add-ons. But we have something to celebrate NOW! STLs for ALL!   

That's right! All our backers will get FREE STL files of the 4 main Heroes for Hire as long as you pledge at one of our tier levels. As a reminder, these are STL files, and not miniatures. You'll need to print them yourself, or send them to a 3D printing service.

What's Next?

Our Best Bar Bro, Brewtus, is coming up next~! 

At $775,000 we'll unlock Brewtus' Character Cup, standard die, and cards. He'll be available as a stretch goal add-on for anyone who'd like to add our favorite barkeep to their next Barcadian adventure. 

We hope you love him as much as we do. 

Social Stretch Goal Update

Ready for another Social Stretch Goal update? Here's where we're at on our journey to unlock the Hero for Hire Power-Up Card.

As we said in the last update, Instagram is officially unlocked and we've reached our goal on that platform. Now, to tackle the remaining three: we're about 54% of the way on Facebook, 50% of the way on YouTube, and 71% of the way on TikTok.
