We're thrilled to hear Silverwood Grove featured on The Dice Tower's crowdsurfing segment and is both Mike & Tom's pick of the week - wow! 

Together, we've unlocked 23 stretch goals with the final goal moments away from being unlocked!

Take a look at the full looooong list of stretch goals on the campaign page!

🐨 Stretch Goal Unlocked! Introducing A New Terrifying Playable Character!
about 3 years ago – Mon, Mar 15, 2021 at 03:24:19 PM

G'day Mate!

New stretch goal unlocked! The local hardware store, Ironbark Fixtures is now open for business!

Revealing our next stretch goal!

Strange noises at night... large footprints in the undergrowth... the Big Baddie is here to stake his claim in Silverwood Grove!

Jeff has done a fantastic job designing the latest playable character.

The Drop Bear is the most advanced Character of them all – they are all about choice. As such,  they should not be played for the first game. 

The Drop Bear starts with 10 Resources, like all characters, but those can be chosen by the Player. 

They don’t start with a Tribe but must earn one by using their Talent at Level 3. 

At Level 1 Research they unlock their first talent. 

At Level 2 Research they unlock the ability to use their Level 2 Talent in addition to their Level 1 Talent.

At Level 3 Research, they have access to all 3 Talents. 

The Drop Bear adds a unique set of options, and they really change up the game more than others. Be quick to choose him, as he is set to be a hotly contested character!

See you on the next update, and stay tuned for our playthrough video!

Yours in all things woodland-y,

G'day Mate!

Thanks to you, the next stretch goal has been unlocked, and we're very close to the new goal at 86k!

Once we unlock the new location, I'll be able to share the next goal... the citizens of Silverwood Grove have heard strange noises in the night, trees shaking and bite marks near various buildings...

For those looking forward to a playthrough - I'll be filming tomorrow and aiming to upload the day after.

Thank you for making this such a great campaign and both Jeff and I are very excited to bring Silverwood Grove to your table!

Yours in all things woodland-y,

Stretch Goal Unlocked! Enhanced Solo Mode + New Goals Revealed
about 3 years ago – Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 10:49:49 PM

G'day Mate!

Thanks to you, Silverwood Grove continues to be an amazing campaign, and especially thanks to you, we've unlocked our next stretch goal - and it's a biggie! 

Sneak Peek At Enhanced Solo Mode:

Please note, this is a development version that will see ongoing changes, and does not reflect the final version.

When starting, players will set up like normal. They will then draw two of the scenario cards, choosing one to keep and the other to discard.

The remaining 10 cards form a deck that the player will play against. They will need to beat this deck, as well as complete their scenario objective in order to win. Here's an example of what the challenge will look like:

Players will be scored against the AI and either get a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum trophy for their effort, based on VP and the number of Hard/Easy AI cards they played against.

An example of an AI side of the solo cards is below:

CARD 7

Easy:              Build the right most Location

Hard:              Build and Upgrade the right most Location

More to be revealed as we test and tweak, but these are showing to be so much fun and offers a great solo experience!

New Stretch Goal Revealed!

We have an awesome run of Stretch Goals to reveal, and I'm itching to reveal one of my faves a little later in the campaign...

For now, let's take a look at the next goal to smash through:

Our next Stretch Goals are set for 86k and 90k - I wonder what they'll be!?

One in particular is set to be very big and very frightening for the citizens of Silverwood Grove...

Gameplay Video Update

We're closing in on releasing our little playthrough video - we want it to look great on video so our internal prototype has now been updated with all the new art and design, to begin filming :) 

See you on the next update!

Back to the Campaign

Yours in all things woodland-y,
