Soul Collector Live and Shipping Error
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 11:10:46 AM

We are happy to announce that the Soul Collector Pledge level is now active! Thank you all for you patience with this.

We have heard your comments and looked into the error with Shipping Destination when trying to support the new Soul Collector Tier, and found out that it was an issue with the Scheduled tier and Kickstarter itself, so it should be fixed now! Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is still issues and we will try out best to fix them immediately.

Thank you all again for you support.

Soul Collectors & Tenjin Soul Collector + Freki the Boarheaded

Soul Collectors

We have received requests to add the Tenjin Soul Collector for those who missed the last campaign, so in less than 12 hours when the Soul Collectors for Voljaryk become available, so will be 5 Limited Tenjin Soul Collectors. They will be available as add-ons for any of the pledges.

If you pledge for one of these and do not have a 3D Printer, and would like to print the stretch goals we would recommend checking our website after the campaign ends. There will be a list of merchants available to bring them to life for you.

Freki, the Boarheaded (Spoils Below)

In the lore, Freki represents the wilderness of his father, and as a consequence, he often enters into conflict with his brother Huggin. 

This guy is by far one of the craziest people we created, and we quite like the consequence that his actions create on the following generations during Blood Oak - Chapter 1 story.

His design was inspired by our idea behind berserkers and how that style defines his courage (or craziness?). 

We plan to swap that rock for a piece of burning log to create an opening for LEDs to make the fire illumination coming from below him, which will give him a scarier look. Again, a low illumination environment will be needed to achieve its full potential. 

If you like to know more, please feel free to ask us your questions here. Or join us in our Discord where we tend to spill secrets more often.

We have sketches for the base coming soon! And we will update you all accordingly :D

Thank you once again for your kind support and for helping in making Voljaryk's story (and experience) a reality.

Best regards,

Luiz

100% Funded! THANK YOU!!

Thank you all for making Voljaryk's journey a reality! We have a special love for him for being the first Ancestor envisioned by us 4 years ago when we started to build the Blood Oak Universe and the importance behind each of these characters.

Let's move on to the stretch goals 😁!  We have some exciting ideas involving LEDs, and we seek to make this guy's battlefield with his sons something spectacular to be looked upon in low-light environments.

After all, this is not only a 3D Sculpt, it's also an experience to be felt!

Best regards,

Black Forge Team

First Stretch Goal UNLOCKED! Onwards to the 2nd!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 06:18:05 AM

We made it to the first Stretch Goal on our third day! THANK YOU ALL you beautiful people!!

So we are working with Elliot on the concept for the whole base to be revealed very soon. And below is a very very very basic idea of what we are going for:

Created by the amazing Sulton, the new member of our team.

We are looking at creating a highly detailed battlefield (if all bases are unlocked) where you can add LEDs to create natural epic lightning on the characters. We are using our background in film to make sure they cause both a nice effect on the character's body lines and an enhancement in the whole experience of observing this "On" during nighttime, or in the background of your night games.  

Again, this is a very basic sketch for it, and we are sharing it that early and that basic in hopes that you consider the quality we put on Tenjin's stretch goals (especially the portal).

We have some extra things in mind for the portal which will require some testing, but if it works, oh boy. It will definitely make people look at new possibilities for 3D printed scenarios.

It's important to know that most of it is subject to change, including the portal which will be more organic to the scenario, so we can possibly remove the altar vibe and as a consequence part of its height. 

This is something really exciting for us and we hope to give you all a memorable experience besides that of printing and painting these characters.

Kind regards,

Black Forge Game Team.

2nd Stretch Goal reached, Huggin - the Protector and Soul Collector Pledge COMING SOON
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 06:17:56 AM

We have reached the 2nd Stretch Goal yesterday and we are now on the way to the 3rd: Huggin - the Protector! THANK YOU again!! 

Koning Axe

Koning Hans was ultimately the reason that revealed what Voljaryk feared to be true; that humanity would be doomed if he alone didn't unite them into a single cause. Now in possession of Hans' Axe, he was ready for what was to come. 

If only he knew that this was the beginning of his downfall...

Huggin son, the Protector

Spoils below.

Huggin was the strategist of Voljaryk's bloodline. He was known to be a skilled warrior with his legendary sword. But as time went by, he noticed his father becoming... something else, as if ghosts of a forgotten past had been whispering secrets into Voljaryk's ears.

Was his father the leader they needed, or a man in need of help?

For the design of this son we wanted to portray his strategist and cautious personality, thus why his choice for a shield and armor in his body. There are a few more hidden clues to other things in his design that we can't say here without spoiling the fun, so we will let you guys explore it once you print him ;D

Soul Collector

We are close to announcing the opening for the Soul Collector pledge. Please remember that after the announcement you will have 48 hours to prepare for it. We honestly don't know if it's going to fill fast or not, but given the interest shown so far, we expect that at least the 20 slots for Early Bird (and 1st Batch) will go quite fast.

The reason behind the 48 hours is because we didn't want to make anyone feel like we didn't give enough notice for them.

Best regards,

Luiz
