Game Time Again

Kaleb and I are just getting all setup for an amazing day at WellyCon!

04/11/2022

Hello friends and gamers. It has been far too long since our last update. We have been working hard the last couple of months to move things forward, and we are excited to give you a little sneak peek at our newest refreshed prototype. Stay tuned, more details will be coming soon!!

The last couple of weeks we have been working on some fun ideas for the Player boards. We made some double layer boards, unique for each of the characters, and would love your thoughts on a few mechanics we have been playtesting. Here is a quick video that introduces the board:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4urP8CgPfk
The basic ideas are these:
1) Each character will have some unique and some shared skills that can be unlocked. In each group of skills, the more you unlock, the more useful they are each round.
2) For any given skill track, before you use it, you can slide the game piece and reveal the skill you want to use.
3) If you unlock more than 1 per skill track, you can use any skill that is visible.
4) When ships are built or the commander is unlocked, it reveals a special ability unique to your character.
So far the playtesting one these boards has gone really well. Any ideas on how we might improve or expand this idea? Concept wise, does it feel simple enough to be enjoyable? Thanks for your feedback! =)

We are experimenting with a couple of mechanics on the player board, and would love to know what you think. To learn more about Perpetuity, check out https:...

It has been a crazy couple of weeks with our family all catching Covid and isolating. We had some good family time in between the miserable days though, and got a lot of fun games to the table. Anyone else get some good game time in when recovering at home?

13/01/2022

We had a lot of fun during the holiday break, and even had a few timely Kickstarter games show up just in time to play. Shall we kick off the new year with a bit of fun? What were the top 5 games you enjoyed playing with your friends and family? I will post a word cloud in a few days with the responses. We enjoyed 7 Wonders, Dominion, Catan, Telestrations and CoraQuest.

I thought I would share one last post for 2022 with a sneak peak at some of the changes coming to Perpetuity as we ramp up for our Kickstarter in 2022. The new version contains a fully competitive version of the game you can play by itself or as part of an extended campaign (i.e. it finishes where the original game begins). Here are a few photos from our last playtest. 😁
We hope you all have a safe and joyful holiday season in spite of another crazy year! See you in 2022!

Got our first glimpse of how one of our miniatures in Perpetuity might look when painted. What do you think?

21/10/2021

Welcome to all our new members! Thanks for being part of the mission!
Just a quick update of what we have been working on this week:
- Tabletop Simulator is coming along nicely. We are hoping to have everything ready next week.
- We have leaned a lot about Discord this week, and have been experimenting with running a server. I will share the link in the next few days.
- We have received the 4th character model. What do you think?
- We have begun reaching out to some more reviewers, and will share those we lock in over the coming weeks.
- The votes for simplifying the name to just "Perpetuity" have been overwhelming. I have attached the box artwork without the subtitle. Would love your feedback.
- Finally, we have been fine tuning the Competitive version of the game to make sure it is fully Competitive (rather than semi-Coop). We will drop a video in a couple of weeks with a play through.
Have an awesome weekend! 😄

A beautiful weekend here in Aotearoa (New Zealand) was just what we needed to recover from a difficult week. We are refreshed and excited to relaunch in February. Click below to follow our new pre-launch page. Thank you!

We interfered. We caused this. Now we feel Perpetuity becoming aware of us. Watching. Learning. Growing angry. What have we done?

14/10/2021

Today we made the difficult decision to do a re-launch of Perpetuity in February of 2022. We had a rough start to the campaign for a few reasons, and thanks to some great feedback from our backers, we have determined the best option to make sure Perpetuity is the amazing game it should be, we are going to ramp up for February. A big shout-out to all those who have supported the campaign and continue to help us make this game into some incredible. I will post the next steps in a few days once we have a few more things in place. In the meantime, THANK YOU!

With less than 24 hours before our campaign kicks off, I thought I would share a little bit of what the Deluxe version of the Perpetuity game board looks and feels like. =)

08/10/2021

We need your help! We are now just days away from launching our most ambitious project yet. We have poured our blood, sweat and tears into this one! A big part of the work behind making this successful is just getting the word out far and wide. There are lots of little things that will really help and only cost a little bit of time. It can be as easy as sharing a post a few times over the next 4 weeks, mentioning our campaign to a friend who loves science fiction or board games or helping us build engagement with comments on our Kickstarter page when we launch. If you are keen to do something, please send us a message or comment below and we will reach out. Thank you!

We are now officially just 1 week away from launching our campaign for Perpetuity: Grave Descent. A big thanks to everyone that has helped us get ready, especially with the rulebook. We are making a few more passes through it, but you can have a sneak peak here. =)http://download.gametimeagain.com/Perpetuity/Manual/Perpetuity_Grave_Descent_Player_Guide_0_3.pdf

Hanging out and playing games with our friends in Morrisville 😁

24/09/2021

We have been doing a fun little competition with a local Real Estate company here in Cambridge, New Zealand, and I thought I would share the love with all our friends and family. The draw is for a free copy of our game Perpetuity: Grave Descent when it is manufactured, and you also get to submit a photo for becoming an alien character in the game. The competition wraps up today, so be sure to jump in soon if you are keen. No obligations, and they are happy for anyone in the world to find the duckies. 😁 (https://yellowduck.nz/yellow-duck-competition)

17/09/2021

After lots of discussion and planning, we decided the core version of Perpetuity: Grave Descent needs an upgrade! All versions of the game will now support up to 5 players! One player can now become Perpetuity itself.
Absorb the failing system, grow in ability to manipulate Space, Time, Matter and Gravity AND thwart the mortals who are trying to raid your system.
With this change, there are a few things to finish up, so we are delaying the launch date of our Kickstarter campaign for 2 weeks. We will now be launching on October 12th.
More details will be coming in the next few days, but here are a couple of teaser images for now (not final artwork). =)

16/08/2021

Perpetuity is a step closer to being a reality! We have put together our final prototypes and will be sending these out for reviews and videos this week. It is just 6 more weeks until we launch a Kickstarter campaign to bring Perpetuity to life. Want to learn more? Be sure to join the mission by joining our FB group dedicated to the project. =) (https://www.facebook.com/groups/perpetuity)

We tried something new for this box artwork. Vinyl stickers! What do you think of the result? 😁

19/07/2021

Giving a big shout out to all the gamers who joined us at BGBTB in Christchurch last weekend. The feedback for Perpetuity was amazing, and we have incorporated some great adjustments. We are just days away from releasing our first official play through video, so stay tuned! =)

13/07/2021

We hope you can join us this Saturday! We will be traveling down to Christchurch for BGBTB. We will bring along the latest prototype of Perpetuity, so come along and have a play if you are "board" and need something to do. =)

Zombies have no clue when it comes to dating, especially online. What they need is someone savy like you to help them create the perfect profile. So why not take a minute and help them out, and be in to win a free copy of My Date with a Zombie when it ships. =) https://mdwaz.com/profile

20/10/2020

To help prepare for our launch next week, we are introducing our Zombie dating website. Between now and Halloween, you can submit dating profiles for any of our zombies.

Hey everyone, this is a first draft of our upcoming Kickstarter video. We would love some honest feedback so we can make sure it is ready for our launch on the 27th. =)

06/10/2020

Today we have launched two new Facebook groups for our upcoming games "Upkeep" and "My Date with a Zombie". We would love you to join us and help make these games even more fun with your ideas, feedback and questions. I will put both links in the comments. 😊
