Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire - Tabletop Gaming on your PC/Mac/iPad

[CynicalCode]

Hi there! We’re Membraine Studios, and we’re currently developing a turn-based strategy computer game set in the distant future, Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire™. You can read all about Fractured Empire here: [url=http://indiegogo.com/EWFracturedEmpire]http://indiegogo.com/EWFracturedEmpire[/url].

Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire is a 3D turn-based strategy game that captures the core gameplay of miniatures wargaming. It puts players at a Brigade level—allowing them to control and manoeuver infantry, armour companies, and massive super-vehicles such as the mighty Marcovian Behemoth on the futuristic battlefields of the Exodus Wars universe.

The vision is that the game will ultimately include an online mode for players who wish to challenge their friends or top strategists in the Exodus Wars community. Individual battles will contribute to the larger conflict, bringing tabletop dynamics to life on a massive scale.

We have invested more than $47,000 in the game from our own pockets, and we already have 40 per cent of the development work done as you can see from the Gameplay Teaser videos (above and in the [url="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/90317?c=gallery"]Gallery[/url]). Now, though, we need YOU to help us get over the finish line.

We have come too far, worked too hard and—to be blunt—spent too much to not make Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire. We will make this game. But will it come out this year? Or will it come out in three years because we had to focus on casual games in order to shore-up our cashflow?

Only the crowd, the people for whom we're making Fractured Empire, can decide. That's you.

So, we're down to the final 10 days of our campaign—the last mile!

This is where the action is. If you've decided to support us, but you've been holding fire until the last stretch, NOW is the time to show your support for Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire by buying a perk. I can recommend the $25 Beta perk, which entitles you to early access to the game (without any kind of pressure to actually help us with testing—you can pretty much just enjoy the game and play other Beta participants before the mainstream gamers get online).

If you've been umming and ahhing about backing us, but leaning toward buying a perk, I recommend the $10 perk that gets you the game at a low, low price. You probably spilled more than $10 worth of coffee last week. Please back us!

If you have friends who are undecided on whether to back us, or who are just as-yet unaware of our campaign, NOW is the time to apply MASSIVE AMOUNTS of peer-group pressure and guilt them into contributing to our campaign so that we all get to play EW:FE much, much sooner! Or you could buy the $100 perk that nets you FOUR copies of the game, including FOUR access passes to our Alpha testing programme (and let's not forget the credits in-game as QA testers!).

Just a reminder that, whether or not our campaign succeeds in netting the funding required to enable us to focus full-time on developing the core game, Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire is guaranteed to ship—eventually. How soon "eventually" is, though...that's in your hands.

We'll of course continue to lobby this great wargaming community right up until the end of our campaign, but be assured (or possibly annoyed) that we will continue to update you all on EW:FE's progress after the campaign, when it hits Alpha and Beta, when it gets previewed by journalists, when we start offering the game for Pre-Orders, after the game ships, and well after you're all completely sick of hearing about anything to do with Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire...so we're respectively both very glad we can do that for you but also somewhat apologetic (sorry, but we just can't help ourselves—the game is TOO AWESOME!).

Thanks for reading. To those who have backed us already, we offer our sincere and heartfelt gratitude, and we look forward to playing you in the game (be it the Alpha, Beta or the Final build depending on the level of perk you purchased).

To everyone else, we still love you—just not quite as much as those who have already backed us. But please GO NOW to our campaign page and buy a perk so that can be rectified.

NEW VIDEO RELEASED: GAMEPLAY EXPLAINED — PART 2!

We have put together a sequence of play (Turns 2 and 3, on the larger Desert map) in a new video, which is at the top of the list of videos on the campaign page.

The new video demonstrates a combined assault by Guild forces against a REM position. Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire's gameplay has been edited together with explanations of what is happening and why to give you a feel for how it plays.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the game mechanics shown or anything else to do with the game!

Sorry to necro this thread, but for anyone who followed our (failed) crowdsourcing campaign on Indiegogo, I'm very happy to say we did eventually make the game and recently launched on Steam Early Access.

If you're interested in seeing how the game turned out, you can find out more information on our Steam store page, here: [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/297270"]http://store.steampowered.com/app/297270[/URL]

Big thanks to the BoLS community for your support over the past few years. And stay tuned...because this is just the beginning.
