Well as you can see from my last update the prototypes have arrived and they look fantastic. We had to make a couple changes once we received the prototypes however they were fairly minor and everything is good to go. We completed filming our Kickstarter video and are putting the finishing touches on the campaign materials. While we are busy editing the video and touching up the Kickstarter content we are also having some playtest and in depth reviews done so that we can have some independent opinions all ready for when we launch the campaign. The video was too much fun to film and I think everyone will be amused by our approach and execution. I can't wait to showcase it but I am going to try to keep it under wraps until the Kickstart launch.
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

The Cover Is In! Woot!
I probably should wait till it gets all dressed up and make all the final tweeks but I could not resist throwing a packshot up for everyone to check out. We are in our final development weekend and will be ordering playtest prototypes this weekend. Let us know what you think about the cover. I will post more info after the weekend. It's crunchtime for us and I may not sleep at all this weekend but this magnificent beast will go to print next week. Make sure to click on the picture it looks even better "all blowed up"!

Westerly Update!!!
Westerly is progressing nicely. We have just received our first production quality prototype to play test and we just need to make some final tweaks to the game mechanic to ensure proper balance. The major component we are hard at work on right now is the illustrations for all the encounter cards. There are over 120 unique encounter cards in the game and each one has its own original illustration. A huge undertaking for our two fantastic illustrators in a short time frame. We should have all the art ready to go by our next play test date July 27th. I will post up some of the artwork so you can get a sense of what the game components will look like. I will also put up some pictures this weekend of all the components that arrived in the box.
