SolForge Kickstarter Updated, Full Game Demo And New Reward Tier Unveiled

Categories: Announcements, Card Games/CCG/TCG, iPad, iPhone, PC Gaming, Updates | 2 comments

I’ve been keeping a close eye on SolForge, the new digital card game from Gary Games. I had the great pleasure of demoing the game at Gen Con last weekend. The developers rolled out a special deal with the Kickstarter page where you’d get a bonus starter deck from the faction of your choice by backing at the $25 level. That promotion is still going on, though the Kickstarter has been updated once again.

This time we get to see a full-on demo for those who couldn’t make it out to Gen Con. The demo is run by Richard Garfield himself along with John Fiorillo, and it was recorded straight from the Gen Con floor. In the video you can see exactly how the game plays out, which will no doubt clear some confusion for those who don’t know how the game will play out. You can see the demo video below.

A brand new $60 digital rewards tier has been introduced to help sweeten the pot. The reward will grab you:

  • Access to the beta
  • Kickstarter-only avatar
  • Five booster packs
  • Starter deck for your faction
  • Digital art book
  • Entry to the Kickstarter-only tournament
  • $60 worth of in-store credit

It’s a great tier, especially if you’re looking to keep things digital. You get your money’s worth in store credit, so you can spend that right away when the game goes live. Right now the Kickstarter page is a little over halfway to funded and there’s 19 days to go. Let’s get on this and make it happen players.

    Hi Raine,

    Interesting post. The game looks cool for sure.

    I have to admit I don’t really get why they are using Kickstarter though. Kickstarter is supposed to be for projects by people that can’t otherwise afford it. This seems like an already-established company trying to get free money for a project, instead of pitching it to investors that would both scrutinize the project and take partial ownership. Instead the Kickstarter supporters are kind of being ripped off if the project succeeds, because they’re clearly not going to get any ownership in the company …

    Is this type of project even really allowed on a site like Kickstarter? Or maybe am I reading this situation wrong?

    Thanks for the post either way, it’s cool to know about.

    John,

    Thanks for the comment! I had a great time with the game and it’s my biggest game of Gen Con this year. I think Gary Games went to Kickstarter for the same reason why a lot of other devs do – to make the game a reality faster. They are working with a different team and in order to help push the game out as quick as possible Kickstarter is the way they’ll need to go. I don’t think it has anything to do with not being able to do it themselves, nor do I think fans will be let down. Kickstarter is in no way a means to own any part of a company. It’s a way of letting fans help contribute to what they love, and that’s amazing.
