PANDEMONIUM our new survival horror boardgame

[The game forger]

Hello, I would like to present our new game. We’re working in a kickstarter campaign for 2015 and any help and feedback is welcome.
We’re testing the game very hard and keep improving it every day. We’re now ready to show the details of our work because the prototype is really advanced and working really well.

Pandemonium is a survival horror tabletop game with miniatures. No zombies here, just classical horror with all kind of evil creatures and a lot of fun.
We wanted to create a game with a great atmosphere, influenced by the classic horror movies and iconography we all know from cinema and literature.

Our intention is to show you more details of the game and keep discussing its creation in this forum. We appreciate the comments of everybody as they let us improve the game and adapt it to the player preferences.
We’re boardgame (and videogame) players and we want to create a game we can be proud of. That’s why your opinion is so important.

Let me give some more brief details on the gameplay options: you can explore, run, create barricades, battle monsters, create combos, call for help, repair the light generator, create deadly traps and discover ancient secrets while you decide your next move: escape the house or defeat the evil in it.

-1 to 6 players collaborative and treacherous gameplay.
-More than 40 unique deadly creatures.
-Tons of weapons and magic objects to help you on your journey.
-12 level up combinations.
-Unleash devastating attack combos.
-Hundreds of different events make every play unique and fun.
-Amazing character miniatures!
-12 beautifully detailed map tile combinations.
-Customized dice.
-Pact with the Devil or try to destroy it in the Ultimate Boss battle!

And now, after this “little introduction”, we’d love to keep showing you our work in order to receive some feedback and improve the project before launching the kickstarter campaign.
I hope you like it. We update our facebook, twitter and blog every week, take a look to old posts and help us spread the word if you like what you see J

Thanks,

I wanted to show you some board tiles for the game. We designed and rendered them in 3d to give a different look.
On top you have the original renders and below there are the tiles with some icons and indicators.
In the game there are 12 different locations that you can combine when playing (you use 4 tiles with 1 to 4 players and 6 with 5 to 6 players).

Do you like them? Would you prefer a painted, more classical finish?

Hello, I wanted to show you a closer look to the enemies plastic "standees".
We're using them for the prototype and we got them from the game crafter shop.

They look pretty good with each color identifying a different creature kind. However they use a sticker that you have to place on each plastic piece, so I don't think this would be a good idea for the final game, where we plan to use classic stand+token as most games do.

What do you think? Is that a good idea? Or would you prefer some plastic pieces similar to the ones from thegamecrafter shown here?

Stardard tokens are used in many games, like Arkham Horror; Do you like them better?

It's been a long time since last time we showed some game news. I want to show you 3 close-ups of the box art made by artist Borja Pindado. Soon I'll show you a preview of the complete game box.

Do you like it?

The art, minis, and map tiles look great. I'm torn on the tokens. I like the look of those standees you showed and I like not having to assemble the bases each game or worry about losing them, but if then again stickers tend not to hold up well over time.

Can you share more about the game? Maybe post a draft rules book?

bone_naga, thanks for your comments and support. We're now working on some videos that explain the gameplay and game rules in detail. You can already see some early videos on the channel with that characters preview or tha game setup:

Some things we improved in th alast months were the game box:

And the cards design (based on the forums feedback):

We also added a semi-cooperative mode. Now, IF you want to play with the Evil in the house, you can control the "bad guy" and use the Dark Lord character, wich adds a lot of value replay to the game. So now you can play cooperative or semi-cooperative whenever you want.

We now have 12 different and unique map tiles:

And more than 100 different weapon/items, 90 Events and more than 100 game tokens.

Of course we keep working on the miniatures for the players and some kickstarter exclusives, map addons and some surprises. Soon I'll be abe to show you some painted miniatures and I hope you like them (they look beautiful):

Of course we keep playing and testing the game and showing it at tabletop events:

We'll keep you informed.
Thanks for your interest in our game

Hi everyone, we've been busy working and testing the game.
I wanted to show you some news, for example a new mechanic. Now you can enter any Portal and travel to new dimensions, where you can discover amazing treasures or danger beyond imagination. Once there you take a Portal card: each card has a D6 roll that you must pass or suffer the consequences.
Now we have 15 different cards. A glimpse of the prototype cards here:

We are also featured in the 2015 Prelaunched Kickstarter Board Game Projects by date, here:
https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/191701/2015-prelaunched-kickstarter-board-game-projects-d

We've edited 6 gameplay videos featuring: Movement, Actions, Battle, Creatures, Game modes and Kickstarter. We'll be updating our youtube channel with them during summer.
First two videos are recorded in stop motion, as we wanted to have some fun and try different things. The rest of the videos are recorded "live".
Here's the first one, only two minutes showing the movement mechanics:

More news soon. Remember to follow us on twitter, facebook, youtube and BGG and share with your friends if you like the project. We'll show you the kickstarter campaign soon, so you can give feedback before we launch this september.

Thanks again,
Marc
