The Time Has Come....TO LAUNCH THE GAME!

Hello everyone! Well To Do Walrus Games here. I've been hanging around on the forum for some time now and I thought I'd share my project here! For those of you who don't know, I have been designing a board game to launch on Kickstarter for the past year and a half and it at last goes live this Friday at 12:00 EST! If you are at all interested, I would greatly appreciate if you at least followed along in the project's journey, and even if you are not an avid board gamer, if you know anyone who might be, feel free to share it with them!

The Shadow Of The Nokizaru Ships to the First YouTube Previewer!

Today, "The Shadow of the Nokizaru" was sent off to a YouTube previewing group so that they can make their overview video! It may be a YouTube group you have heard of before. Their channel name starts with a "T" and ends with an "E". If you think you know the group, keep a look out for my next update that will have a link to their channel for the video! Feel free to reply your guesses below as well! I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with!

The Time Has Come...

Hello Everyone!

Jacob here.

I am STOKED to tell you guys about something HUGE!

My board game, "The Shadow Of The Nokizaru", is at last coming to the United States! That's right, the prototypes have at last shipped! I expect them to arrive on May 29th, 2025! That's just two days away!

This also means that we have some business to get down to...

Some UNBOXING business that is!

We will be having a livestream unboxing on May 30th, 2025 at 6:00 PM EST to celebrate the big achievement of an actual prototype! I'll also be there to answer all of your burning questions.

The Prototype Nears Completion...

Hello Everyone!

Jacob here.

I have some great news for you guys! "The Shadow of the Nokizaru" is almost here!

Yes that's right. After several months of delays, we are at last back on track for the game's prototype to ship out soon! I have been informed that the only remaining component is for the tray to be completed! After that, I'll be taking a quick look at the components to give final approval and then we will be shipping out the prototypes likely some time this coming May! Ideally, once the prototypes are received, I will be doing an unboxing video for the game.

The Shadow Of The Nokizaru Update!

Hello everyone.

I know. It's been a long time since I made an update for my game, "The Shadow of The Nokizaru", but here is what has transpired over the last several months.

Plans are at last underway to place an order for a physical prototype game. This copy will include much more durable components and will give the game a more polished feel. I am currently preparing the print files for the game and I hope to have it printed by the end of this December.
