6th goal unlocked - Laser cannon!
over 6 years ago – Mon, Jun 17, 2019 at 05:53:43 PM

 Hello all! Today I'm proud to announce that we already unlocked 6 campaign goals!

#1 Stretch goals 

We unlocked Laser cannon, thank you! The next Stretch goal is another very important item. 

Space mine is another new module. You can add it to your spaceship in the  same way as other modules. It costs 1 credit per module. You can drop  it anywhere on the map except special points (it works exactly the same  as GNSS). Mine will keep position on the same tile per whole game until  someone will destroy it. There are two ways to destroy the mines.

•  First is impact, but after impact you will lose your spaceship.  Damage of the impact is always critical and it destroys your/opponent  spaceship. Unfortunately there is no bonus for destroying the spaceship  by using a special mine. 
• Second "safe" way to destroy the mine is using a laser cannon module or DR Icarus special ability. 

You can also bypass the obstacle with no energy lose when your spaceship maneuverability is greater than obstacle. 

#2 Social achivements

BGG achievements are going quite good. We unlocked Nanotechnology card and we are on a good way to unlock IO capture!

#3 Miniatures unboxing

In the latest Gamerati vlog from 1:30 to 2:50, you can watch miniature unboxing. Minitures were sent to reviewers to make preview videos.

I have also additional question. Our FB achievement is not on a good way, but me and my team want to unlock additional missions and Jupiter Solo card. What do you think about change FB achievement? Feel free to write your suggestions in comments. Our proposal is to make only BGG achievements.

That's all for today. Have a nice day and see you in the next update!

Kind Regards

1st Stretch Goal unlocked and...

Hello all! Sorry for a long time without update, but we are working very hard to improve this campaign for you. In this update I would like to summarize thing we currently achived, introduce you next stretch goal and... I have a surprise.

#1 Stretch goals

Congratulations we unlocked modular board! With this stetch goal outer space exploration will be much more exciting and surprising. 

Next stretch goal is even more interesting. Maybe it doesn't look epic. It is only a cardboard token, but definitely it change th game in a great way. It's time to present Laser cannon. If we unlock this stretch goal every spaceship will be able to have a range attack. The rule of this range attack is same like for "Laser Beam" spaceship. Of course Laser cannon has less damage, but we can add it damage using multiple modules on one spaceship!

#2 Collector's miniature size is now 140mm!

We unlocked bigger size of miniature! Thank you!

#3 Surprise!

We prepared for you the Social Achievements. From now we all have a chance to unlock  additional game content. 

To do it, you need to just click on the image below or in Social Achievements on project page and share post or became a fan of Exploration on BGG. 

Thank you for support and see you in the next update!

Kind Regards

Exploration is funded!
over 6 years ago – Sun, Jun 16, 2019 at 02:14:27 PM

Dear all, I am extremely happy to announce that we are funded! Thank you all for support! We have been waiting for this moment for several months. It was a good time for Exploration. We made many improvements in campaign and gameplay. Getting funded is not the end. Now we can make those improvements alive!

We are all so happy, but what next?

#1 -  Modular board

Modular board is the first stretch goal to unlock. At the beginning there will be 8 hex tiles. They will be used when you decide to explore outerspace. Using it you will be able to receive great bonuses without losing your spaceship like it is in core box version. The modular board adds strategic possibilities and gives the game a pleasant feeling of discovering new fragments of space.  

#2 - Collector's miniature size

Several hours ago we unlocked a bigger size of miniature - 120 mm. Good job! Now we are on way to unlock 140 mm. To do it we need additional 17 backers. 

#3 - Language versions

After funding we have more time to think about printed version in French language. 39 of us are French plus there might be some French-speaking Canadians. Soon we will know more about it. Second language which might be also considered is German. 30 of us are living in Germany. 

I have one question to you. Is a printed version of rule book, added to your game box satisfying? I mean that you will receive english version of game with english rulebook plus rulebook in your language.  

Last two days was crazy. Thank you all for support once again!

See you in the next update

Kind Regards

48h funding goal
over 6 years ago – Sun, Jun 16, 2019 at 02:00:45 PM

Hello all! Welcome in the first project update. First of all I would like to say thank you very much for supporting Exploration. We are very close to fund this game and we have far better results than in the first campaign. Anyway let's go to the point.

#1 - 48 hours funding goal  

Me and my time decided to add a funding goal to our project. During preparation time we did many great improvements. It was made for you and that's why we want to give it to you! We will add Jupiter board and drill module to every pledge including Exploration core box. Below you can see how the game will present with Jupiter expansion.

 You can support funding by sharing and liking our FB post and Tweet. Both of them include the image below.
 

#2 - Extended time for Early Bird

To get funded until end of campaign Exploration needs around 4 backers per day. Many gamers still didn't hear about Exploration and we want to minimize the number of people who will miss Early Bird reward without even know about it. This is the reason of extended time for Early Bird to first 72h of campaign.

#3 - Collector's miniture and language version goals

We need 11 backers and miniature size will increase to 120 mm in lenght. We almost have it!

We passed level 1 for two languages: French and German. As we promissed we will start now to work with draft rulebook versions to finish them until end of campaign. 

See you soon in the next update

Kind Regards
