Inkulinati News

Hello Master Illuminators,

Over the weekend, we took part in two big events - the PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show. It was rollercoaster of nerves, emotions, and happiness. For those of you who couldn’t be with us on these shows, don’t worry we have the big reveal right here! Ladies and gentlemen say hello to our latest addition. Here is the fiery, and a little gassy, Bonnacon!

It seems that Bonnacon is a bit of a red-hot creature, and sometimes emotions can get the better of him. But you have to admit, he knows how to make a strong entrance to a party. And for those of you who are worried about Sir Robin - no one got hurt while filming this material. Now, the Bonnacon is not something we came up with ourselves - oh no! The Bonnacon was already known in medieval times, and the Aberdeen Bestiary has described it like this:
"In Asia an animal is found which men call bonnacon. It has the head of a bull, and thereafter its whole body is of the size of a bull's with the maned neck of a horse. Its horns are convoluted, curling back on themselves in such a way that if anyone comes up against it, he is not harmed. But the protection which its forehead denies this monster is furnished by its bowels. For when it turns to flee, it discharges fumes from the excrement of its belly over a distance of three acres, the heat of which sets fire to anything it touches. In this way, it drives off its pursuers with its harmful excrement. "

We have also been featured on Future Games Show “Future Hits” montage - nice! It was a great honor to be part of this line-up. You can watch the montage below.

Thank you once again for your support! We have fully funded the Bestiary, and now we are getting closer and closer to funding the Nintendo Switch! So spread the love and send our Kickstarter to your friends you think might be interested in our game. That would be a HUGE help for us. And of course, if you haven't made a pledge, you can do so right now - just click here, or on the banner below!



Until next time,

Hello Master Illuminators,

So, let’s get the big news out of the way. Sir Robin, trumpet please. Inkulinati has reached 200% of its funding - yeay!!! Thank you heaps for your faith and support. Much, much appreciated! It also means that the Ships and High Seas content is also added! Thank you for making Inkulinati bigger and better.



Recently, we sent out a short Inkulinati demo to a selected group of YouTubers and journalists. It’s a short “hot seat” demo in which you can have a quick battle against the PC or a friend. To our positive surprise, a number of them have decided to play our game and leave their impressions about it!

Here are a few videos in which you can see Inkulinati in action and see what people have been saying about it. So far, it’s been really positive feedback and that is humbling to hear. Check them out for yourself!

And for those that prefer to read, The Sixth Axis did a preview of our demo right here:

This is without a doubt one of the most vibrant, energetic, and enjoyable turn-based strategy games I’ve ever played.

Thank you once again for your love and support. And stay tuned, as this week we have quite a lot of special things for you prepared...

Hello Master Illuminators,

We'll get straight to the point - Inkulinati is now fully funded! And we did this in less than 3 days. This is nuts, crazy, and all the other adjectives that describe states of euphoria and disbelief. So from the bottom of our heart - thank you, thank you, and thank you once again. To all of you. We still can't believe it really happened. You’ve made a bunch of medieval nerds really happy!

The best part is, we are aiming for more, and we have announced our first two Stretch Goals. But wait, it gets better! At the time of writing this, we have smashed our first goal and we can now confirm that Inkulinati will come with an additional Inkulinati Master - the Ape Professor! He will also come with his own Ape Army and a special hand move to boot! Check out he references below!



With the Ape Professor funded, we are now going for our second Stretch Goal. One that we call "Ships and High Seas. In this naval-themed Stretch Goal, we will add a new set of Battlefields, with unique mechanics based on ships. Fights on these levels can be quite chaotic, as ships are not steady ground. We will also add a new Beast (just look at the references - things can get crazy here), and we will add flooding as a random event to keep you just a little bit more on the edge.

If you feel that we are doing something worthy of support, please make a pledge. Every amount helps. And you can snag yourself some nice rewards along the way too!

Once again, thank you heaps for all your support so far. This is becoming quite a wild adventure for us, and every day, every hour brings a whole new set of surprises. So thank you for making our dream happen. We still have more stretch goals that we will announce (*finger-flick!), but all will be revealed at the right time.


Until next time,

Hello Master Illuminators,

This day has finally come! Today we officially start our Kickstarter Campaign! To bring Inkulinati to the world in the way we feel is right, we are looking to raise $20,000 US. To help us get over the line, we created some special and unique rewards for all of our backers (did someone say real-life hoods for pets!?!? Whaaaaaat!!!), along with being able to purchase the game in advance.

We realize that asking to put down money upfront for a game that will come out a bit later is asking for a lot, but we are more than confidant that we can deliver the game. And with your help, we can create a game without compromises - both in quality and one that’s 100% independent, meaning that no-one will tell us how Inkulinati should look or what it should and shouldn’t have. So let's start this adventure together, there's no time to waste!

So please, check out our Kickstarter page - all the info that you need is there. Also, throughout our campaign, we will publish new updates too, so keep an eye on it regularly. You can also follow us on our Facebook and Twitter to keep up with the whole campaign.

Share with us your thoughts or questions, pop them in the comment section below - we’re always looking for some feedback from you. And If you have any questions, write them up as well. Don’t be shy!


Until next time,
