Dear everyone,

Here we are, in our first post-campaign update!

Thank you once again for funding this dream of ours one more time. We are so excited to work on this game and we can’t wait for you to experience what we have crafted with so much passion and fun.

Pre-production

We were ahead of schedule before the campaign, but eventually, during the campaign we unlocked many fun things that were created along with you. Our manufacturer started immediately with the samples and the pre-production of the following items, which at the moment is done!

  • Magnetic Box
  • Moonlight bits (Thunderbit and the special add-on bit are pending)
  • Nocturnal Creatures (Pantone colors are not final)
  • Moonlight tiles

We are excited to be at this advanced stage of the pre-production work. With this important part of the process done, we are just missing all of the different cards in the game and the journals.

Win a retail copy of Spirits of the Forest Moonlight in advance!

We have three sample copies of Spirits of the Forest: Moonlight, that we would love to send over to 3 of you as a gift! That means you will be able to play the first few scenarios of Moonlight and share your thoughts about them if you wish for us to post in these updates.

Each sample copy includes 2 Nocturnal Creatures, 8 Moonlight bits, Moonlight tiles, and 4 Moonlight cards. We will craft a list of scenarios to be playable with these components and send them out to you!

To join, simply visit our gleam website where you will find more information about it.

Bazaar Opening

We expect to open our Thundergryph Bazaar around 2 weeks from now. We will let you know 3 days in advance so you can prepare for it.

What is the Thundergryph Bazaar? It’s just a fun way to give a name to our pledge manager, powered by Backerkit.

In the Bazaar, you will be able to do the following:

1) Pay for the shipping cost of your pledge, if you haven’t already;

2) Select the add-ons you wish from this campaign;

3) Access to a limited quantity of our past Deluxe editions, like Tang Garden, Iwari and the Matchbox Collection;

4) Access to a selection of released retail titles, like Hats and Rolling Ranch, including the different add-ons for each game;

5) Access to a limited quantity of previous Spirits of the Forest add-ons.

Spirits Closed Beta Test

More than 600 of you signed up to be part of the Closed Beta Test and all of your emails have been uploaded to our Closed Beta. Please notice that you will need an android device to join the Closed Beta, but the app will also be available on iOS for the commercial release.

Inside the app, you will find a clickable banner to be redirected to our report form where you can leave your feedback or report possible bugs.

Thank you very much for your help, and we hope to see you over there, the team will be matchmaking often to play with you.

The game can also be played asynchronously, but we really recommend trying to finish a game once you match with an opponent, each game will last around 10 minutes (depending on the other players promptness too). If you close the app, you will get a notification when it’s your turn.

If you have friends as closed beta testers too, you will be able to add each other as friends to play together.

At this moment we are not looking for additional close beta testers but we will reopen the signup process as soon as we feel confident that we can manage a new flow of testers.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this update and we will be talking again in four weeks. Until then, take care and have fun!

Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Last 24 hours, for real! Goodbye live stream tomorrow
over 3 years ago – Sat, Aug 08, 2020 at 11:13:14 AM

Dear Seraphs,

We are extremely excited that we are so close to 7000 backers and almost 1000% of funding. Thank you, everyone! Let’s hope to hit this milestone before the campaign ends.

We just entered the last 24 hours of the campaign and as it seems it is almost over, we will be engaging more with you after the campaign.

Yesterday we announced that the development of Spirits of the Forest Digital was done and more than 700 of you registered to be invited to the Closed Beta.

We need to organize this as better as possible to make sure everyone will have a pleasant experience, but we do want to invite all of you.

We will invite you in groups of 200 each day and we will send a notification directly to your email with introductions on how to access. We just ask for a bit of patience while we arrange this.

If you signed up with an email that is not a gmail account we cannot add you to our Android Closed Beta Test. IOS is coming soon after the campaign ends.

Goodbye Livestream

As you have shown interest in this final live stream, Tomorrow, August 7th at 8:00 PM CET / 2:00 PM EST we will be live streaming for the final hour of the campaign.

Come and join the fun as we chat, play Spirits of the Forest base game and Moonlight, and answer any question about the future! We will be giving away Thunders for your Thundergryph club as usual and you will get a chance of winning add-ons during the live stream.

Looking forward to talking to you tomorrow!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Last hour! We are live for our goodbye livestream!

With more than 7300 backers and 1000% funding, we couldn’t be more thankful and excited for this last result.

To all of you that are finding out about us for the first time, thank you for joining us! To all of you that are backing us once again, thank you so much for your continuous support! We really love this job and we will do our best to make a game you will be proud of.

Once the project ends, you can expect updates from us every 3-4 weeks.

As the end of the campaign is getting closer, we want to celebrate this important milestone along with you.

Come and join the fun as we chat, play Spirits of the Forest base game and Moonlight, and answer any question about this project and about the future!

We will be giving away 500 Thunders for the Thundergryph Club as usual and you will get a chance of winning add-ons during the live stream.

Thank you once again for all your love and if we don’t see you in the live stream, talk to you again soon!

Time Shift? Spirits of the Forest digital and live stream
over 3 years ago – Thu, Aug 06, 2020 at 12:24:40 AM

Dear Seraphs,

Looks like our campaign was running at 88 mph and we traveled back in time!

We are sure you are surprised about the 48h extension of the campaign. Kickstarter was very kind to grant an extension due to an issue with the send out of our ‘last 48h email’, which apparently not everyone received.

Good news, Pier was inspired by the situation and made up a new scenario called “Paradox” that you will find inside your Journal! Do you fancy thinking with portals?

We are live on Twitch right now to play this new scenario. This was meant to be our goodbye live stream but apparently it has become our second 48h stream, how awesome! Join us for any questions and to collect Thunders.

Spirits of the Forest Digital

We finally have finished the development process for Spirits of the Forest digital along with Grumpy Owl Games. Now it’s time for you to let us know about possible bugs that haven’t been generated in our internal testing and let us know how you feel about the app in general, its usability and such.

The game can also be played asynchronous, but we really recommend trying to finish a game once you match with an opponent, each game will last around 10 minutes (depending on the other player's promptness too). If you close the app, you will get a notification when it’s your turn.

If you have friends as closed beta testers too, you will be able to add each other as friends to play together.

Thank you very much for your help, and we hope to see you over there, all the team will be matchmaking often to play with you.

Tomorrow we will start granting access in batches and communicate how to download and access the app.

See you in the future, tomorrow, of course!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

LAST 24 hours! Our final gift for you. Thank you for this amazing campaign!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Aug 05, 2020 at 12:12:57 AM

Dear Seraphs,

To all of you that have been following Thundergryph in the past and to all of you that are discovering us through this game, thank you so much for your support!

We are a small group of people trying to become an established board game publisher. You are really the pillar of this endeavor, as without you none of this could have been possible.

This campaign was our first one for an expansion and we are extremely grateful for how it’s going. This won’t be the last one, as we are still under the development of Tang Garden: Seasons which will be our next expansion-based campaign in the future. We are excited to explore our best sellers a bit more with expansions that completely change the way you play our games.

Our final gift for you

We want to celebrate the end of this campaign with a final gift that is very close to our hearts.

The Thundergryph Moonlight bit will be one of the rarest bits you can get in our iconic blue color. We are brainstorming different uses for this bit, stay tuned after the campaign for more information!

Moreover, we wanted to add the bits that you unlocked in our final cover of the Moonlight Journal. 

As you can see, we added different bits populating the forest with your dear Owl as part of it, so every time you will be ready to play, by opening the game box you will remember that this happened because of you all, your ideas and support.

Tomorrow, August 5th at 8:00 PM CET / 2:00 PM EST we will be live streaming for the final hour of the campaign.

Come and join the fun as we chat, play Moonlight, and answer any question about the future! We will be giving away Thunders for your Thundergryph club as usual and you will get a chance of winning add-ons during the live stream. Make sure you follow us on Twitch to be notified when we go live!

Looking forward to talking to you tomorrow!

Sincerely yours,

Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
