WHAT’S NEW

  • For starters, we performed our first internal network test last week and it was a huge success! Though it was relatively simple, the game ran smoothly. We encountered minimal lag even while east and west coast devs were playing together. We’re looking forward to ramping up these tests over the next few weeks in preparation for the Alpha Combat Arena later this year.
     
  • The art team has begun development on textures, models, animations, and concept art for several kinfolk- including a few new faces! We’ll talk about this more in the next development update.
     
  • The design team has been hard at work cooking up new surprises! Most of their attention is currently being given to features related to combat, such as new attacks, passive abilities, and arenas.
     
  • We’ve started hosting podcasts on our Twitch channel! Next up is a Q&A featuring Meyuu, our Community Art Contest winner, and Kayla Kosik, our set piece modeler! The stream starts Saturday, April 11th at 2:30pm (14:30) EST, so be sure to check it out!
     
  • You can expect to see more development updates on a bi-weekly basis starting Friday the 24th. In these updates we’ll be summarizing how various aspects of the game have progressed, and occasionally offer sneak peaks!
     

REWARDS

  • The Progress Board and Digital Wallpaper Pack are nearly ready! In one week, we plan to start sending out emails containing these rewards to everyone who backed us.
     
  • We’ve recently ordered the first Kickstarter Awburn plushie for internal review! If everything is up to the level of quality we expect, we’ll begin the process of ordering and shipping them soon. The process has been slow due to closures in the wake of COVID-19, but we want to make sure that the plushies are being made safely.
     

NEW CONTEST: EXPLORATION MUSIC!

  • As Rob mentioned in his interview with Impossible Coin, Kindred Fates’ next community event will be a music contest! This time the theme is exploration. We’re looking for a song that will fill us with a sense of wonder and adventure while exploring one of the many locations in Hinterlock.
     
  • Submissions must be at least 1 minute and 45 seconds long, include similar instrumentation to other Kindred Fates tracks, and be submitted to the #contest-submissions channel of our discord in order to be considered. The contest starts Thursday April 9th, and will conclude on Friday May 1st at 11:00pm (23:00) EST. As always, we’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
     

Thanks for reading. More info on the game coming soon!

Community Art Contest Results!
about 4 years ago – Sat, Mar 21, 2020 at 03:04:01 AM

We're very happy to announce that we've selected our winners for the community art contest! We had over 300 entries, so it was a very difficult process.  After many torturous weeks of deliberation, we’ve finally chosen the cat contest winners! Once again, thank you all so much for your patience. 

There were so many amazing entries that choosing the winners was actually an incredibly difficult task. In the end we selected the designs that we felt would fit best in the world of Kindred Fates, and we hope you’ll be as excited with the results as we are!

You can see all of the winners here: https://www.skymillstudios.com/all-news-posts/post-kickstarter-backer-rewards0-jhxzz-km6pl-9a8a4

Pledge Upgrades are Available!!
about 4 years ago – Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 03:28:32 AM

The time for pledge upgrades is upon us! Please check the email that you have connected to your pledge.  Because this system took a lot of time to perfect, we are sending upgrade links in small batches over the next few days.

The upgrade link will only work with the email you connected to your pledge. 

If you do not receive yours today, it is still on the way, please bear with us just a bit longer. We hope to have sent all Kickstarter backers their link before the end of next week, and if there are any delays, we will let everyone know. The selection of the first batch was random, and it will continue to be.

A note on the Royal Tier:

It will be available for one week following the last batch of emails, as it is a limited release tier. This will be the last time we offer a limited tier like this.

Thanks so much for all your patience with this!

-Rob
