Analog Evolution

Since the dawn of the digital age people have become more and more disconnected from each other. AE Games strives to bring groups of people closer together to, laugh, enjoy stories, and match wits in a social environment. Tabletop gaming used to be a staple of home entertainment. Unfortunately this tradition of gaming has really fallen off the map with the introduction of video games in the home. But as every industry finds out eventually the content becomes over streamlined and stale. This opens the door for new ideas or re-imagining of old ones. We at AE Games feel that this trend is going to swing back the other direction and people will rediscover what is at the heart of tabletop gaming...A sense of connection, interaction, and community. Our goal is to provide fun, creative, new concepts and game mechanics to keep the genre fresh and engaging. When the trend swings back to tabletop games we want to be here to see it and help fuel the evolution

Project Update #5: Yeeehaw Once again Westerlings! Posted by Analog Evolution Games ♥ Like Halfway and pressing on! Thank you Westerlings for all the great feedback and support. This is a long journey but we are making great progress and are getting primed for a big push into the final few weeks. The Westerlings are making waves and people are starting to take notice. Keep up the great work and we will get this project across the finish line. Good News Canada We have worked out further details about how we will be shipping in Canada. This means that we will be adding additional Canadian pledge levels that have a $7 shipping fee added into the pledge with no additional shipping charges. Due to this change we will be adding limited Canadian EB pledge levels as well so you don't lose your spot in the wagon Good News EU
We have been hard at work taking care of all the logistics to get over this hurdle but we wanted to make sure that Westerly is a viable purchase for our Westerly brothers and sisters on the other side of the pond. Ok so that's some of the main housekeeping items out of the way so here's the fun part! The Return of River Madness and a Field Manual To Boot We will be including the original river dexterity as an add-on over the next week for those of you who still enjoy a good dexterity change of pace. We will also be offering Squirrely Bill's field manual as an add-on. Keep in mind Original Westerlings will still get this reward free of charge. The Westerly Kid Photo Bomb Event! We are planning an event for the next few weeks that we would like to run up to the end of the campaign to both help spread the word and promote a creative activity to help build the Westerly community. There is a wanted poster that can be downloaded at the bottom of the page. This is the Westerly Kid. He is wanted for various deeds and we need to spread the word that he is out there on the loose. Ok basically its a QR code that people can scan to access the kickstarter page but we just can't pass up an opportunity for thematic ridiculousness. So this is were you guys and gals come in. We want you to print out the poster and hang it and take a picture, not a tall order really but there is a catch. We want you to show it off and show the rest of the Westerlings how creative you can be in the following categories funniest location, or highest visibility. Submit photos to docroygamer@gmail.com and we will post them up on the AEG Facebook and blog spot for all to enjoy . With full respect of Kickstarter rules this is not a contest there are no prizes this is a fun activity that the Westerlings can participate in which will help us spread word about the campaign. We of course must require that you respect all local laws, rules and regulations when hanging up the poster. Please ensure that the method used to hang the poster is easily removed and could not be considered vandalism or littering in any way. This is supposed to be fun please keep it this way and show off your PR skillz!

Westerly Reboot Is Live! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2010758051/westerly-reboot Well Pardners the day has finally arrived Westerly is back up on Kickstarter! We have gathered a ton of feedback and incorporated a lot of really great suggestions into the game to deliver exactly what you are looking for in a Westward Expansion themed adventure. We also spent the bulk of time working with new manufacturers to ensure that we secured the best quality for the best value and most importantly accurate production and delivery dates. This work also enabled us to significantly lower the pledge price levels and include some really fun expansions in the higher tier pledge. We focused on giving you more game more content and more fun in the box. We hope you will join us and the rest of the Westerlings on this Epic Western Journey and to bring back all the nostalgic memories surrounding this theme that a lot of us share. Please spread the word and don't hesitate to ask questions make comments and reach out to us about any of the details of the game.

Westerly Art Update

Since pulling back the first Westerly campaign we have been really focused on manufacturing to drive the cost down and game play to include all the great feedback we received. We have also put a lot of time in updating the artwork to really dress up the overall look of all the game components. I wanted to give everyone a sneak peek some updated art so you can see what we have been working on. The river cards for the prototype were particularly rough in the first campaign. These were quick mock ups so we could get as much playtesting as possible. So it was one of the first things we wanted to fix between the first campaign and the reboot. Here's a sneak peak at the new card art for rivers.

Westerly Reboot on Kickstarter Begins Jan 28th!!!

We have been hard at work getting everything ready for the reboot. We have taken in all of your fantastic feedback and have spent a lot of time working the great ideas into the game. Your input is what will make this game as fantastic as we wanted it to be. One of the biggest changes to the campaign is that we have found a new supplier that will enable us to offer the game at a much lower cost then before and at a higher level of quality. We really did our homework on this and got a lot of great advice from amazing designers and publishers at Metatopia. With a special thanks to Stephen Buonocor from Stronghold Games who helped a ton getting us in touch with manufactures and printers. We have put a lot more of what people loved into the game and streamlined other parts to make it play smoother based on extensive independent play tests. It was really difficult for us to pull back the last campaign before it finished but we really wanted to get the cost down and be able to provide high quality ON TIME which seems to be rare these days. We're going to start posting the latest updates and some sneak peeks at completed art upgrades very soon. So it's time to start the Westerly buzz machine back up again. Our new launch date is the 28th so start spreading the word and keep an eye out for updates.
