Hi folks! Today is a massive day for Crownbreakers. I have two major pieces of news to share: The Kickstarter is officially live, and a brand-new Demo update is ready for you to play!
I’ve been pouring my heart into getting this campaign ready, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you! The Crownbreakers Kickstarter is officially live, featuring a lineup of interesting and exclusive backer rewards, including:
Early Alpha Access to play the game before anyone else.
Unique Card Back exclusive for all kickstarter supporters!
Become an Elite! A chance to get your likeness into the game as an enemy!
I also want this to be more than just a fundraiser but a chance for backers to help shape the future of the game. Your support will allow me to add the extra polish and features that will take Crownbreakers to the next level. And if you participate in the early access, your feedback will be invaluable in helping shape the game.
So what are you waiting for, back the Crownbreakers Kickstarter campaign here!
While the campaign kicks off, the work doesn't stop! I’ve just pushed an update to the Crownbreakers Demo. This version adds some on visual juice, bug fixes, and balance tweaks!
