Kickstarter Project : New Earth - Kickstarter campaign end the 29/10/2025

[Jeannot]

Hello everybody

I just spent an entire year dedicating my free time to creating a board game. I poured all my energy and soul into bringing you a perfect mix of Star Trek and Alien.

It is a space exploration and survival game playable solo or in co-op where you play as one of the senior officers of an human colonization expedition.

The game will take place primarily on the ship, which you will have to manage to upgrade and secure it against external and internal threats.

You will also be able to explore planets and wrecks, or simply mine asteroids. There are over 200 events that can occur during the game, with numerous iterations possible.

You were awakened mid-journey by the ship’s automated systems due to the deactivation of the main AI. You will have to complete the expedition by exploring different stars. You will need to awaken members of your crew to direct, upgrade, and secure your ship during its journey.
You will have many challenges to overcome before completing your objective: discovering a colonizable planet, the new Earth…

The game is 98% finished. It has undergone numerous playtests with my friends and family, and at various board game festivals and clubs.

I'm sharing the game teaser with you:

The game has its own page on boardgamegeek.com

Finally, I suggest you consult the pre-launch page of the Kickstarter campaign which will begin on September 1st.

I will answer all your questions.

Hello, friends.

Members of the French board game community were concerned about the number of QR code scans required during a game. In response, we worked together to create three technical sheets that players can use to speed up the pace of the game. The three sheets will allow you to avoid scanning Crewmates, Hostiles, and Rooms cards.

Below is the result (in physical and French versions, which will be provided in the box along with the same three cards in English).

What do you think?

Hello everyone.

To celebrate my recovery and the hope for a better life for all, I’m offering you a short article on the colonization of a New Earth in Project: New Earth.

In Project New Earth, there are only four planets that will allow you to achieve the Scenario 01 objective of colonizing a planet. Here are the names and appearances of each of the four “candidate” planets.

But how will the colonization process take place?

First, you’ll need four crewmates in the functioning Hangar to launch an exploration mission. The goal will be to identify the ideal site for your future colony.
As with other planets, each planet’s exploration mission will vary depending on its star’s threat level. The mission for your candidate planet will give you an objective to achieve before you can launch the colonization process.

Each colonizable planet will offer a unique ending. Some will offer you much better living conditions than on Earth, and others… Well… Humanity will have to adapt… And did I mention the secret endings? Shh

Project : New Earth soon on Twitch and Youtube

I’m also pleased to inform you that influencers will be making a video presentation of the game based on my prototype. I’ll send you the information as soon as the programming is finalized. The presentation will be in French. It will be an opportunity to enjoy some baguettes, saucissons, and good wine in moderation.

Finally, here’s a first look at the partially filled game board. I haven’t finished editing all the cards with After Effects yet

Hey guys.

8 more people and we'll reach 150 subscribers on the project's Kickstarter page
A little effort and I'll give you more information on terraforming (objective of scenario 02)

Hello everyone.

To celebrate reaching 150 subscribers on the project’s Kickstarter page, I’m offering you a short article on the creation of a New Earth in Project: New Earth via terraforming.

In Project New Earth, there are only four planets that will be terraformable. Here are the names and appearances of each of these four planets.

But how will the terraforming process take place?
Beforehand, access to terraforming technology will only be possible by playing Scenario 02.

This scenario will unlock a special research essential to unlocking terraforming technology.

I’ll let you guess the wink in the name of the research This research will require a significant amount of research points. In addition, the completion of the terraforming colony will require a large stock of resources.

The Hangar must be operational to launch an exploration mission. Unlike colonizing a planet, terraforming a planet does not require you to complete the exploration mission.

As with colonizable planets, each terraformable planet will offer a unique endgame. By completing an exploration mission on these planets, you will receive a clue as to the outcome of the terraforming.

While waiting for the next live presentation of the game and a good little playtest, I offer you this excellent report on terraforming:


Come on, we’ll try to reach the 200 subscriber mark for the next news. Don’t hesitate to follow the Project: New Earth campaign on its Kickstarter page

Hello to you, future member of the New Earth Project.

First of all, I would like to thank the influencers Gaëllou and Chico who gave an exemplary presentation of the game and their feedback. Note that as promised, I have hidden a plot that follows the success of their expedition as secret content in the game

For those who were unable to attend the Twitch live (in French), below is a link to the video published on Youtube.

As planned, we are pleased to announce that the Kickstarter campaign will launch on September 29th. Contribute in the first few days to help us reference the project on Kickstarter. It will help us a lot.

Finally, I offer you a short interview (in French) so that you can learn a little more about me, my motivations and the project itself.

Please feel free to share the on Project : New Earth Kickstarter page

See you soon.

Hello, everyone.

The KS campaign starts this Monday, 29 September.

In the meantime, we are continuing the polishing phase with the following advances:

• Scientists have had their research statistics increased. From now on, the names of their favourite research topics are indicated on their cards. A Scientist can choose to launch a new research project by selecting their favourite research topic directly, rather than picking one at random. In addition, they receive a significant bonus following a research action if the research topic is one of their favourites. No need to consult the card’s QR code anymore ^^

• Soldiers have had their courage stat increased.

WEAVER272×370 73.4 KB

• Finally, Technicians now have the name of their exclusive ability printed directly on the card. This means you can look up the rules for their ability directly from the game aid sheet instead of scanning the QR code.

I have a surprise in store for Monday, which I will announce to subscribers on the Project : New Earth Kickstarter page. Feel free to sign up to stay informed.

Greetings dear members of Project: New Earth,

The Project: New Earth campaign is now officially live!

First of all, I want to thank you for following me this far. Creating this board game has taken more than a year of my free time. What started as a small personal challenge has grown into something huge, and I’m proud to share it with you today.

The first 100 backers will officially join the lost crew of Experimental Expedition 0004, whose trace vanished from the archives of the Project.
During one of your missions, you may stumble upon the wreck of this experimental ship… Will you dare to launch an exploration to uncover what really happened?

Among them, a raffle will be held at the end of the campaign to choose the Captain, who will be immortalized as an official character card included in every copy of the game (if the campaign succeeds).

To stay up to date and chat with other explorers, here’s the dedicated Discord server: Join the Project : New Earth Discord Server! Gifts are planned.

Once again, thank you for being part of this adventure.
