Late Pledge Store - The Old King's Crown: A Tale of Royalty, Rebels and Ruses

January 2025 Development Update - A final surprise reveal
13 days ago – Fri, Jan 17, 2025 at 09:44:12 AM

Happy new year everyone!

We hope you all had a wonderful festive period. We’re back with our first update of the year, and we’ve got a bunch of exciting stuff to cover. With that, let's dive right in, starting with the final big reveal of this campaign.

We’re absolutely delighted to be able to reveal the final box art for The Old King’s Crown! This is the cover that you will see when your copy of the game arrives on your doorstep later this year. 

Over the past year, our team has been focused on refining every aspect of The Old King’s Crown. From the updated Kingdom Board and improved card designs to a fully revised rulebook, so many hours of additional playtesting and faction balance, as well as expanded rosters of cards, councils and  abilities. We’ve worked hard to ensure the game delivers the richest possible player experience from the moment you gather round the table to play.
Of course, we wanted the box to receive that same level of care and attention that the rest of the game has received. Initially, at the start of the Kickstarter campaign, the box art was the same art as the map that you clash over throughout the game. We all here at the studio felt that we wanted to expand the world and include a box that featured bespoke art rather than an existing asset that features prominently on the table. So Pablo set about illustrating a piece that brings together a lot of the ideas and visual elements from the game and comes packed full of easter eggs and references hidden amongst its details. The image that covers the box is now a single continuous illustration that follows caravans and travellers as they wend their way towards the bright domes of a settlement, nestled amongst the mountains and stones.

I’m sure you’ll all agree that the many hours Pablo has put into illustrating this final piece of art is a perfect window into the kingdom you will soon be visiting.

Hey, everyone, it’s Pablo here. I just wanted to take the time to say a big thank you to you all and a happy new year.  I hope you enjoy the box as much as I enjoyed making it. Good luck finding all the hidden details! 

I would also like to take a moment to personally thank Ian O’Toole for his help and advice with the box illustration. He took time out of his busy schedule to provide invaluable feedback and guidance on the box art, on a number of occasions, and I’m extremely grateful to him for that. Cheers, Ian! 

Look closely and you might just see some familiar faces and places that feature throughout the game. 

Don’t worry though, the artwork from the previous box that was shown throughout our press previews and during the Kickstarter campaign isn’t going anywhere. It still features front and centre as you gather around the Kingdom Board to clash and scheme your way to victory. It too has received even further polish and refinement, which we’ll feature in manufacturing updates down the line. We can’t wait for you to see it in person when your own copies of the games arrive. 

As we move into the final steps of the project, it is now time to confirm and lock in the final production quantities with our manufacturer, Panda GM. With this milestone in sight, we’ll be closing the pledge manager and late pledge store on January 31st. Additionally, at this time your card will be charged for your shipping fee, along with any applicable VAT / sales tax depending on your country. 

After Jan 31st you will no longer be able to modify the products included with your order, so if you would like to make any final modifications to your order, now is the time to do so. Additionally, if any friends and family that may have missed the Kickstarter campaign but still wish to get hold of their own copy of the game at the same time as the rest of our incredible backers, now is the perfect time to let them know. 

Late Pledge Store Page

Most of you have long since completed their surveys and at this point there is nothing further that you need to do. We still have around 10% of backers who are yet to complete their pledge manager, so if you think this might be you, you can either recover your survey by following this link, or by reaching out to our fulfilment team at [email protected]. We have included a guide on how to complete your pledge in our previous update which you can find here. 

Please note that although the pledge manager and late pledge store is closing, you will still be able to update your delivery address right up until we begin local fulfilment from our distribution centres. 

APPLE RELAY NOTE: Some backers who signed up to Kickstarter using an Apple ID may have received a direct message from our fulfilment partner at Naylor Games asking to confirm that we have an updated email address on Backerkit. This message was sent to all backers who used an Apple ID and we know many of you have already updated your email address directly in Backerkit. If this is the case, you can safely ignore this note. If you are unsure as to whether you have updated your email address, or aren’t sure how to do so, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our fulfilment team over at [email protected] who will be able to assist you with your pledge. 

In other exciting news, a new batch of the wooden pieces that will come with both The Old King’s Crown base game and Wild Kingdom expansion have arrived with us here, ahead of our pre-production copy of the game arriving next week. We’re delighted with how these have turned out and seeing what is very close to the final components is a truly thrilling experience. There are still some final amends and requests we will be making to the further improve the quality of these centrepiece components to ensure they stand out on your table. 

With the arrival of the pre-production copy of the game imminent (it is on the water!), we will begin the final review of all components found within to ensure that everything receives the same level of care and attention ahead of manufacture. We’ll be back with another update very soon to show off some of these components when the pre-production copy arrives with us here in the Eerie Idols studio next week.

Whilst the team here has been putting the finishing touches on the game, our language partners are beginning to wrap up their localisations of the game. It has been a pleasure to work with each of our partners and their passion, professionalism and commitment to delivering this game in a way that matches and supports our vision has been inspiring. In this update, we’re excited to be able to show off some of the localised versions of the French edition of the game. This edition of the game has been translated by the experienced Transludis and published through our partner Matagot. 

Whilst the mammoth undertaking of translating all text within the game has been completed by our partners, some have requested additional time to complete the final layout and proofing of their files for print. To ensure this vital process isn’t rushed, potentially introducing errors or discrepancies between versions, we are actively supporting and working with our partners on this request. As a result of this, we do anticipate a slight delay to the delivery date, however this is measured in weeks rather than months and we’ll keep everyone informed of any delays as we learn of them.

• Lock in our final order quantities for this initial print run of the game with our manufacturing partner Panda GM which we will proceed with once the pledge manager closes at the end of the month. 
• With the pre-production copy arriving with us next week, the final review of all files and components in the game begins. Once this process is finished, mass production is ready to begin.

That's it for this update, but stay tuned for images and previews of the pre-production copy of the game as it arrives with us next week. 
 

Thanks for your ongoing support and have a great rest of the month! 
 

Andrew, Pablo, Ken and the rest of the Eerie Idols team.

December 2024 Progress Update
about 1 month ago – Wed, Dec 18, 2024 at 03:13:50 AM

Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well and that this time of year is treating you well. The nights have well and truly drawn in here in Scotland as the festive season rolls around. We’re happy to be back with this latest update, the last one of the year, and one in which we cover another major milestone reached. Thanks to you all for following us on this journey, and for your continued support. It means the world to us. Now, let’s jump right in!

The team has been hard at work ensuring The Old King’s Crown continues to progress towards manufacture, and we remain on track to be fulfilling in April 2025! (If you missed it previously, you can read more about the update to the original timeline in this previous update post). 

PRE-PRODUCTION BUILD OF THE GAME

As our language partners near the end of the translation work, localising the base game and the Wild Kingdom expansion into the first-print-run's various language editions, the team here at the studio have been busy preparing everything for manufacture of the pre-production copies of the game. I’m pleased to say that this milestone has now been reached and all the files are now submitted, reviewed and approved.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Panda GM, our manufacturing partner, whose help and guidance was invaluable during this process.

We will have a pre-production unit arriving at the studio here in Scotland in the near future. Pre-production copies, whilst not final products, are very close to the final thing.

This unit will allow us to review all final print layouts, fine tune the colours, values and presentation, making any final amends as required, ensuring all details are just right before full manufacturing begins.

We can’t wait to share photos of what the nearly-final version of the game will look like when it arrives with us here. Stay tuned for some exciting glimpses soon!

As we shared in our last update, we're approaching the final stages of closing the pledge manager and processing card charges. However, with the festive season in full swing, we understand this might not be the best timing for everyone. To make things easier, we’ve decided to hold off these card charges until late next month. We’ll be back with another update early next month with the exact closing date and a final reminder to complete your pledge manager survey if you’ve yet to do so.

If you are still to complete your pledge, or wish to add any further add-ons to your order you still have time to do so. You’ll find a guide on how to complete your pledge manager at the bottom of this update. Additionally, if you would prefer to charge your card now, instead of waiting until next month, you can do so by contacting our fulfilment team over at [email protected] who will be able to help you out (along with any other pledge manager questions you might have!)

Now that the files are being submitted and any remaining final touches or pieces of art are being wrapped up, we couldn’t resist showing off a few more never before seen pieces of artwork, alongside a discussion of some of their effects in game.

As always, if you’d like to learn more about the game and read the rules in advance, the following resources are available:

• Rulebooks
• Tabletop Simulator
• Discord

Once the game is off to manufacture early next year, we’re also keen to create and commission a bunch of videos, covering how the game has developed, along with overview, how to play and strategy vids to help players dive into the kingdom right away! 

That’s it for this update but we’ll be back early next month with one more big surprise reveal for the game!

In the meantime, the team here will shortly be taking a short time off over the festive period to rest and recharge, before the final push to complete the project early next year! However, as always, if you have any questions, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can! 

We hope you all have a wonderful festive period if you celebrate and (fingers-crossed) you get an opportunity to play that game that’s been sitting on your shelf. 

We can’t thank you all enough for all your patience, encouragement, input and support this year. It has continued to be a great source of inspiration here at the studio. We simply cannot wait to get you this game and for you all to see all that we’ve put into it!

November 2024 Development Update
3 months ago – Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 04:58:26 AM

Hello everyone,

We hope you're all well! We're happy to bring you this month’s update, packed with exciting developments for The Old King’s Crown. Let’s jump right in!

In our previous update, we shared that our files were in the midst of translation and localization. That process is still ongoing with our language partners working their way through the translation and layout of our materials. We are expecting the first round of review files to land in our hands very soon! We’re on track to wrap up this process by mid-December, after which the manufacturing phase is ready to begin.

While that’s been underway, the team here at Eerie Idols HQ has been hard at work finalising components for both the base game and the Wild Kingdom expansion. We’re now ready to share several exciting details that many of you have been eager to hear about. Let’s start with a closer look at the box inserts that will come standard with the game!

We're excited to unveil some of the very first renders and images of the base game and Wild Kingdom inserts that will come as standard in each box! These custom-moulded plastic inserts are designed to keep every component neatly organised. One of our primary goals with this design process was to create inserts that comfortably accommodate sleeved cards, whilst still providing protection for unsleeved cards and the other components such as the Sites of Power tiles and dual-layer Player Boards. 

To achieve this, we’ve planned enough room in each compartment to fit the added height of sleeved decks. However, for those who prefer unsleeved cards, don’t worry—we've ensured that your cards stay snug and secure during storage and transport by placing the additional components directly on top of the card wells to lock them in once everything is packed away.  Let’s explore how each component fits into the base game. 

• At the bottom of the insert, you’ll find two wells designed for Faction Cards. If you intend to sleeve your cards, the faction deck is split across these two tarot-sized compartments. If you prefer not to sleeve your cards, all the faction cards fit neatly into a single tray, freeing up the other to hold neutral wooden pieces—like Season, Round, and Active Player markers—plus the influence and lore tokens (Note: there is room for these regardless, as we'll cover just a bit further on :)
• Alongside these tarot-sized compartments, there are two other smaller, bridge-sized spaces. One holds all the Kingdom Cards, while the other houses the solo mode Threat, Ambition, and Scheme cards. The Solo mode tokens such as the Herald, Supporters, and Faction markers are stored top. The remaining solo mode cards have their own spaces as well. Forge Cards sit on a lower indented tray which then in turn are then held securely by the Simulacrum’s Faction Cards.

• Directly above, the Site of Power tiles for each faction lock the cards in the bottom layer in place.
• Above these tiles, you’ll find the Council tile, along with the four Player Boards and the solo mode board. Loose components for each faction (wooden pieces like Heralds and Supporters, plus Tactic tiles and markers) and neutral pieces (if you previously sleeved your cards) can then be stored on top.
• Finally, the Kingdom Board and rulebooks sit atop everything, locking all the components securely in place.

The Wild Kingdom is also receiving a moulded plastic insert that houses the different modules found within the box. This follows the same design approach as the base game and provides plenty of space for the tiles, cards and pieces so they are safely protected. Both the Whispering Tower board and Night Map tiles fit in one tray whilst the wooden pieces, metal coins, drawstring bag and additional tokens are stored in the second tray. Finally the Negotiation cards, Kingdom Cards and Faction cards are stored in the third tray.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Whilst these images give a close indication of what the finished inserts will look like, these are still subject to changes and adjustments as we move further through the manufacturing process. We may need to modify some dimensions and layouts to ensure everything fits correctly once all components have been printed.
In particular the box art featured is placeholder for preview purposes.

We have designed these inserts to provide quick and easy access to the components you need depending on whether you wish to battle your friends in the multiplayer game or take on the Simulacrum in the solo mode. However, if you wish to take your storage solution for the game to the next level, you can add the custom wooden insert designed by the folks over at Laserox to your order via the Pledge Manager. This insert features several laser cut wooden boxes featuring designs and motifs from the game and will allow you to store both the base game and wild kingdom components together in one box (all with sleeved cards!)

The metal Influence Tokens that will be included in every copy of the Wild Kingdom expansion have also received another round of development and polish. The intention with these coins was to continue the theme and overall design parity as the standard cardboard tokens. The one-value coin however, features a punched out central hole that further defines the coin’s silhouette whilst the five-value features several layer extrusion, adding weight and depth to the coins. When combined with the wooden screen-printed pieces we wanted these deluxe metal components to feel like they add weight, age and character to the world! 

Finally, the Active Player Marker that all of our backers who pledge at the base game and above will receive as part of their order. This too has seen further development and refinement. Building from the original sundial motif found on the wooden Active Player Marker, the metal coin also features several layered extrusions giving the coin a satisfying tactile feel as you pass it around the table.

Note - We will still be actively refining these components throughout the manufacturing process. Colours and materials may therefore vary from those shown above.

Following on from the recently updated multiplayer Tabletop Simulator (including all Wild Kingdom components), the dedicated solo-mode mod has received a further update to bring it in line with the final build of the game. All components are now text-complete, including the new Forge system that allows you to create your own custom opponents, with each providing their own threats and challenges for you to outwit and overcome. 

The solo mode has seen the same level of development work as the main multiplayer game since the Kickstarter campaign concluded and the work that Ricky Royal has put into this game has been nothing short of  incredible. We’re delighted that we’ve had the opportunity to bring his extensive design experience into the game. 

As with the main TTS build, several pieces of placeholder artwork can be found in this mod and these will eventually be updated with the final illustrations once we begin the fulfilment process of the physical games. We explain more of the reasoning for this decision in the previous update here if you wish to learn more. 

Check out the link to the solo mode Tabletop Simulator Mod here.

New Artwork

It just wouldn’t be an Old King’s Crown update without sharing some artwork with you all! Take a look at a sample of just some of the cards you’ll find within the game box.

Initially we had planned to close the pledge manager next month and charge your cards for shipping / VAT, however we’re aware that during the Christmas / Holiday period these charges may be unwelcome. Instead, we have decided to close the pledge manager at the beginning of next year. This marks the cutoff period where we need to lock in the final production quantities with our manufacturer. Rest assured, this has no impact on the timeline and production will still be moving forward as previously outlined. Additionally, if you would prefer not to wait and would like to charge your card now, please feel free to get in touch with our fulfilment team over at [email protected] who will be able to help you out with this, along with any other questions you have about the pledge manager.  

With the results of the recent election in the United States, there has been a lot of speculation and pre-emptive planning in the industry around how a proposed 60% tariff on goods being imported into the United States from China will be resolved. We’re actively monitoring this situation, working with our fulfilment and shipping partners to prepare for any such occasion and to be able to ensure safe delivery to our backers.
With those current projections and tariffs being accounted for, we are projected to be able to fully absorb the additional costs at our end and so hike in prices will not affect backers of this project. 
We will of course continue to monitor the situation and to consult with our capable partners. If any further developments arise we will make sure to update you all. We thank you for your patience in this matter! 
 

That’s it for this update, but we’ll be back next month with another update for you all. Including some real exciting big reveals that we're really looking forward to sharing! Until then, all the best, thanks for your support and we hope you get some good gaming in!

Andrew, Pablo, Ken & the Eerie Idols team.
 

PS. Apologies if the quality of the images in this update is lower than normal. Kickstarter appears to currently be having issues with image uploads.

October 2024 Development Update
4 months ago – Wed, Oct 09, 2024 at 10:39:31 AM

Hello everyone,

We hope you’re all well. The autumn nights are beginning to draw in here at the Eerie Idol’s studio and it’s been another busy month of development on The Old King’s Crown. We’re excited to bring you this month’s update, so come in out of the cold, gather round the fire, and let’s begin.

As mentioned in the previous update, all of our files were submitted to our language partners last month and the translation process is well underway, proceeding without any issues, meaning the project is still nicely on schedule (as outlined in our August update). Whilst this process is ongoing we’ve been busy preparing the remaining components for both the base game and the Wild Kingdom expansion. This includes any last remaining artwork, as well as finalising the standard moulded plastic inserts that will come included with the base game and the expansion, as well as the last screen-printed wooden components, the metal coins and metal Active Player Marker (that was included for free in each pledge of the base game level or above). 

We look forward to sharing images and renders of these final components once they’re set to go!

The final Tabletop Simulator build is ready (including all the Wild Kingdom expansion materials)

Throughout the whole development of the game we’ve used Tabletop Simulator to test the game with a wider group of players outside of just Scotland. It has been an invaluable tool to help playtest, balance and share the game and it continues to be so. Although The Old King’s Crown was built from the beginning around a table and is best played face-to-face, our ol’ TTS mod has been a great asset.

We’re happy to announce that the fully featured development build is now available to everyone. This was previously only available internally and to our extended playtesting community and is now live for all to try. This brings the publicly available version of the TTS game inline with the final version of the game. Whether you wish to simply explore what’s inside, including both rulebooks and all expansion modules, play with friends online or join our incredible and welcoming community of players, this is the version to play. 

• Here is a link to the Tabletop Simulator Mod
• Here is a link to join our Discord community

Additionally, a separate final solo mode build will be updated next week for those of you who wish to test your skills against the cunning Simulacrum, as well as providing you all the tools to build your own using the Forge system included with the game.

A final important note concerning the Tabletop Simulator Mod and artwork

Although this Tabletop Simulator is feature complete and represents the final rules and balance of The Old King’s Crown, we have implemented a policy of not updating all the artwork.

There has been an unfortunate rise in many games that have yet to be manufactured being subject to counterfeit versions being produced, often by accessing the files through applications like Tabletop Simulator. Having seen this happen to several projects we’ve been huge admirers of, this is hugely disappointing and disheartening after seeing the countless hours of development these creators have put in.

So, whilst there are still many, many illustrations in this TTS build, we have not updated it with all the artwork that has been completed. You may find placeholder art or repeated assets. However, this has no gameplay impact and allows us to better preserve the integrity of the project until release.

Once the game has been fulfilled and is safe with all of you, backers who have shown us so much support and kindness, we’ll update the public build with all the final artwork.

However, this doesn’t mean that we don’t want to keep sharing artwork with you all. It is always a pleasure to do so and feels like a celebration that we can take part in together! 
The progress on the remaining assets has been flying along and it has been a great pleasure to once more spend so much time with these characters, in this world! 

Here’s a peek at just a few of the new characters that are joining the fray! 

As mentioned in the previous updates, we pushed the closing date of the pledge manager back to reflect the updated schedule. We’ll be announcing the closing date for the pledge manager soon, however, there is still time to modify your order if needed. If you’re not sure if you are yet to complete and lock your pledge manager survey, follow this link to Backerkit, or send an email to our fulfilment partner over at [email protected] 

That’s it for this update but as we ramp up to the pre-production copy of the game we’ll have plenty of further updates, images and reveals of the physical components to share with you all! 

Andrew, Pablo & the Eerie Idols team.

September 2024 Development Update
5 months ago – Fri, Sep 06, 2024 at 02:00:41 AM

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all well and a warm welcome from a very misty Edinburgh morning. 

Today’s update is going to be a short one, not because we haven’t been busy but precisely because it has been all hands on deck! Without further ado let’s cover the details:

The game’s development is officially complete! All text, rules and faction balance, across the base game, the solo game and the Wild Kingdom expansion, is wrapped and tied in a big bow. 

From the whole team here we want to say we couldn’t be happier with the final game. It has grown and matured so much and I want to personally say a huge thank yourselves for joining us, the team at the studio and to our extended network of playtesters, who, day in, day out, for the past nine months, helped us refine, tune and polish this big ambitious final strategy game that will arrive at your doors. 
We’re certain that this additional time and effort after the Kickstarter campaign ended has been worth it and will be writ large across the game you all get to play.

All files have begun making their way to our localisation partners and what remains for the team, now that all text is locked and completed, is to shift into the final stretch before the game begins prep for manufacture:

• I’ll be completing the final pieces of remaining art (I kept some of the most fun stuff until last)
• Any final graphic design work (final UI and useability tweaks, exploring embossed writing on the box etc)
• Standard box insert to be completed
• Final preparations for manufacture (further print tests, final punch board layouts, colour balancing etc)

As we publish this, some of the team (including myself) are en-route to Tabletop Scotland. This convention, formerly held in Perth, has, for the first time, come to the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We’re delighted to see this event go from strength to strength and we can’t wait to see what they do with the newer, much larger venue! 

Come find us at:
EERIE IDOL GAMES, STAND C3-04
We’ll have some of the studio’s testing prototypes with us, including the first convention appearance of the final board and ruleset! We can’t wait to give folks a tour of the kingdom! 

With this major milestone reached, we’re looking forward to upcoming updates, and we’re excited to show everyone just how far it has come from the campaign. We’ll be doing that here but we’ll also make sure to begin rolling out new gameplay and art streams and share this final stretch with the wider community. 

The next update will have some more fun stuff to show (as less of the team’s time will be a little less buried in submission documents and spreadsheets) and we look forward to bringing it to you.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! 

Pablo and the Eerie Idols team.
