KickTraq

Good Morning Everybody! I am beyond happy to report that we are just over $2,000 shy of funding! It has been an amazing 24 hours and we are now well within reach of actually funding!! This has been an eye opening experience and even though I... (Read More)

Okay this is where the rubber meets the road. I know things look dire but even now I still have hope that we can make Paradise Fallen a reality! This morning has seen an increase in activity that is surely from the 48 Hour “Remind Me” Button.... (Read More)

Well I must say it has been a great past week in so many ways! We are over 40% funded!! 30% is the first big number to hit on a Kickstarter Campaign because 70% of all Kickstarter Projects that hit 30% are funded successfully. The next big number to... (Read More)

It happened quickly and without warning. The “End”. In a flash, everything I took for granted had vanished. Technology luxury, safety…all gone. Now I fight to survive and I am not alone in this struggle. There are others…there are always others…who will either help or look to harm. I must be careful. What was once a paradise and a destination for relaxation has become a testing ground to challenge the strong and bury the weak. I, for one, don’t plan on going down without a fight. (Read More)

Recently I have found pockets of inspiration at a time when things have been weighing me down. Running a Kickstarter Campaign is a emotional roller coaster and sometimes it can be overwhelming. I heard a song on TV and it really inspired me to keep... (Read More)

I have never been to Hawaii, but if it’s anything like the post-apocalyptic vision from Crash Games’ upcoming title, Paradise Fallen, I think I’d rather stay away. The beauty of the islands call out to me but the lack of supplies, savage tribes, and disruptions in the natural order of time and space doesn’t make for the type of quaint vacation spot I’d hope for. While I’d be too much of a sissy to visit this fallen version of paradise for a little fun-in-the-sun, it does make a great theme for a board game! And a good one at that! (Read More)

When we think of Hawaii we think of a lush tropical paradise where we would like to spend long days walking the white sand beaches or maybe about those infamous Brady Bunch cursed tiki episodes but it took the mind of Patrick Nickell to make into a post apocalyptic struggle for survival battleground. (Patrick keep making games because I don't think the Hawaiian Department of Tourism will be calling any time soon) (Read More)

Clearly things aren’t going as we had all hoped for Paradise Fallen. I am not proud enough to see my mistakes and continue pressing on all the while ignoring them. I have spent this past week looking at various decisions that I made and thinking... (Read More)

I've received some feedback that some people may find themselves wondering how Paradise Fallen fits into their collection and I'd like to clear that up so here's a video that explains some reasons of why I feel Paradise Fallen belongs in people's... (Read More)

Good Morning Everybody! I am very happy to report that I just uploaded a brand new live game play video for everyone to get a better look at Paradise Fallen. The video takes you through about three complete turns of a 2-Player game. The prototype... (Read More)

he other week I was in a board game shop, doing my thing, when the girl I was with asked where the games were that weren't oppressively nerdy. Her and I aren't talking anymore, obviously, which is annoying because this week's news features NOTHING but games with approachable themes. Not so much as ONE grimy alien or breastplate in sight (Read More)

Happy Sunday! Patrick checking in. What a week it has been huh? We had a pretty good first day and then things slowed down quite a bit. I spent a day evaluating this and have taken action to correct those problems. I am not a person that isn’t... (Read More)

We're seeing some common themes in casual game crowdfunding this month: two dungeon crawls, two mafia-style games, and a few others. Overall, there are some great choices that seem to be worth a look. (Read More)

Kickstarter is not for the faint of heart. It has been a very slow day today and I can only think of two possible reasons for this. One, people are wanting to see a more thorough gameplay example. We have solved this problem by having John Moller of... (Read More)

One of the great advantages to living in a small town is I can actually call up my local postmaster and get detailed information about shipping questions. I had reached out to them for pricing information for the normal countries we get Kickstarter... (Read More)

It's always so nerve wracking to launch a project on Kickstarter. This is the first project that doesn't just matter to me. It matters so much this time around. It matters to the designer who trusted me with his design. It matters to the artists I've... (Read More)

We are off to a pretty good start! Thank you for your support. I know it's cliche to say we have awesome stretch rewards planned but I really do! We are going to need to fund fast to hit all of those. First up is the thick, cardboard Island tiles.... (Read More)
