We're so close to the next stretch goal!  Keep sharing, we can do this! 

A short time ago we had a nice visit from Gabe Newell of Valve Software, and Jeri asked if he would be willing to share some words about his experience trying Tilt Five.  Here's what he had to say:

Visit from our partner Nucleus VR

We also had a nice visit recently from our partner Nucleus VR, and Alexander Bolton sat down with Jeri to talk about how they're using Tilt Five.  Alexander and Martin have been working with our tech for many years now, and we're proud to have them as partners.  

Let's keep the momentum going everyone, we're almost there! 

Only 33 Hours Left! And more games!

Only 33 hours left!

We're getting so close to the end of our amazing campaign, we only have around 33 hours left!  

Let's finish strong.  Keep helping us to spread the word.  The more units we can get out into the world, the more games we'll have, and the more fun we'll all have.  

The free games and exclusives are only for our Kickstarter backers, so if you're still on the fence, get in there now and grab some FREE games and exclusives.  

More Games!  Bearded Brothers Games is bringing Biker Garage: Mechanic Simulator to Tilt Five! 

Biker Garage: Mechanic Simulator is a game about becoming a motorcycle mechanic. Buy used motorcycles, repair, and sell them with for profit. You get to work with 15 types of motorbikes. Develop a workshop and gain more and more customers. Show your bikes online and sell more. With tons of parts to use, and the ability to test your bikes on a track, this is the ultimate motorbike mechanic simulator!

Bearded Brothers Games will start by extending the Steam build of the game to work with Tilt Five, and they plan to add this feature as a FREE DLC to the game. They want you to have the experience of assembling, disassembling and repairing parts right in front of you. Imagine untwisting parts of the engine with the wand and see it appear right in front of you, in holographic game space. 

Biker Garage is coming November 15th to Steam, and the Tilt Five DLC will be available when backers start receiving their kits in June 2020.  

"I fell in love with this project from the first time I saw Tilt Five. It’s a big step to merging the best advantages from board games, tabletop RPG games, and video games, all in one unique experience. I hope it will be a game-changer for the entire gaming industry, and we will publish more games on Tilt Five!" Darek Skrzypkowski, Bearded Brothers Games.

Thanks to everyone who has backed us already, we value your support so much! Let's make these last hours of our campaign truly memorable!

But wait, there's even more!

One of our community members (@Jessicatz) on our Discord posted a while back about this really incredible  sandbox battle map editor being created by an indie dev named Bradley Shepherd.  She posted one of his videos, and we were immediately sucked in.  

Just look at this! 

We immediately reached out to Bradley and began a conversation about bringing Battle Map Studio to Tilt Five, and what do you know, he was just as excited about this idea as we were! 

We are beyond happy to announce that Bradley will be working with us to bring Battle Map Studio to Tilt Five! 

Battle Map Studio coming to Tilt Five

Battle Map Studio is a 3D map editor and RPG sandbox.

With Battle Map Studio, you can...

• Paint elevation, trees, rocks, and other physical map features with a resizable brush.
• Generate maps with a single click based on a given biome, size, and shape.
• Place characters and monsters that can move and attack.
• Build forts and dungeons and furnish them with a variety of props.
• Scatter balls of terrain to quickly create diverse environments.

"I’m so excited to bring Battle Map Studio’s map editing tools and immersive RPG sandbox to the Tilt Five system.  I’ve been dreaming of making an AR version of Battle Map Studio but have struggled to find a fitting platform. Tilt Five’s simple design, lightweight hardware, and incredible capabilities make it the perfect mixed reality platform for Battle Map Studio.

Tilt Five opens the door to so many possibilities for Battle Map Studio, whether it be painting trees and mountains using the wand controller or directing cinematic effects with hands to enhance storytelling.

I can’t wait for players to be using Battle Map Studio to collaborate on maps and play RPG’s locally on one Tilt Five, or remotely on separate game boards, all while streaming gameplay to their favorite streaming platform." Bradley Shepherd

We've just passed $1.5M and unlocked our third stretch goal! 

Thank you to all of our backers so far!  We've passed $1.5M and unlocked our third stretch goal, and we're well on our way to unlocking the fourth stretch goal! 

We feel confident that we'll hit that goal, and when we do, we'll be able to include more FREE games!  Along with Wartile, we just finished a deal that will allow us to bundle in Chuck's Challenge 3D as well! 

Chuck's Challenge 3D is a fiendishly addictive puzzler that's packed with features that will tease the brain and challenge the fingers.  You can create and share your own levels for everyone to play and rate, all from within the game.  At the office we've been playing Chuck's Challenge 3D on Tilt Five for months now, and it's incredibly fun!  We know you're all going to love it.  

Check out Chuck's Challenge 3D

But wait...there's more! 

We've been working hard to finalize partner deals, so we can share even more fun stuff with you before, and even after, the campaign ends, so prepare yourself to keep seeing more and more games coming to Tilt Five!  

Let's keep spreading the word, so we can hit that next stretch goal and unlock some more free games for everyone!  

We've got more games for ya.

The next few days are going to be incredible!  

There are only 5 days left to jump in and grab yourself a Tilt Five system!  For those of you that have already backed us, thank you!  You get to be a part of an exclusive group that gets to come on this journey with us, and you'll be the first to get Tilt Five!  

Help us to keep getting the word out.  The more Tilt Five systems we can get out into the world, the more fun it will be for all of us! 

Go, go, go! 

And now, we have more partner announcements for you!

This is the favorite part of our week!  Bringing you more partner and game announcements!  We'll have even more to announce very soon, so stay tuned. 

Playwood Project and Deck 13 Spotlight are bringing Wartile to Tilt Five!

Experience a living, breathing tabletop video game that invites the player into a miniature universe full of small adventures set in beautifully handcrafted diorama battle boards inspired by Norse mythology to honor the Vikings!

Wartile is a cool-down based game that keeps the action flowing, with ample opportunities to plan your moves. Although it contains the strategic elements from turn-based games, a mixture of slow down features and cool-down based gameplay maintains the tension of battle while allowing for breathing room to make tactical decisions. At its heart, Wartile is a game about positioning and tactical decision making.

With Slow Time always available you can control the speed of the fight giving you an advantageous tactical benefit in critical situations where every action counts.

Collect and level up an array of different figurines. Customize your Warband with armor pieces, weapons, unique combat abilities and set up your deck of Battle Cards, to provide a choice of tactical options before they embark on each quest.

AND...if we hit our next stretch goal of $1.75MM, we'll be including a FREE copy of Wartile!

"With Wartile, we wanted our players to experience a miniature world coming to life, and this is what Tilt Five promises to do with their amazing technology. It's hard to imagine any better media to realize the full potential of Wartile than having it materialize in front of the player as real diorama battle boards with miniature figurines battling it out. We are excited to partner up with Tilt Five and can't wait to see their tabletop AR in the hands of all our players," Serbay Sönmez, Deck 13 Spotlight.

Just look at how gorgeous this game is:

Playito is bringing Song Beater and Debuff to Tilt Five!

Song Beater is a VR (and soon to be AR) rhythm game on steroids. 5 game modes, 45 songs and videos included, custom songs support, global and friends leaderboards, unique family party mode (singleplayer and multiplayer for up to 4 players).  Kick back on your own and move with the beat, or sit around the table with your friends tapping out rhythms in cooperative or competitive mode.  Now this is going to make for an epic party game! 

Debuff is a tabletop RPG arcade game with single player campaign and multiplayer battles (for up to 6 players or bots). Gain experience to level up, assign skill points, purchase bonus buffs. Nine fantasy heroes with different skills and perks await your leadership to defeat the final foe, Hellga!

"Tilt Five glasses fascinate us from a technological standpoint. They really have the potential to cause a revolution in tabletop gaming as we know it and we are excited to become a small part of it.

The glasses are in our opinion years ahead of current AR/VR competition in this field, as they solve several hard problems at once – everything the player sees including very near objects is in perfect focus (no need for complicated adaptive lenses as proposed for future VR headsets), wide field of view and great contrast thanks to retroreflection. Lightweight form factor enables comfortable hours long experience (sitting on player‘s nose just like regular glasses, no heavy headset strapped to one’s head) with great awareness of the surroundings, allowing easy communication with other people. See you around the table!" Roman Nepsinsky, CTO @ Playito

Take a look at Debuff:

You can start playing both games now, just head on over to http://playito.com/ to check out all of their games.
