Latest Updates from Our Project:

UK Game Expo, Manufacturing Progress & A Very Exciting New Project 👀
11 days ago – Wed, May 27, 2026 at 08:35:51 AM

Hello everyone!

Quick little update before we start 😄 I first passed through Rome to grab my sister, and now we’re all on the plane to Birmingham while I’m writing this ✈️
It already feels like an adventure before the expo even started.

We’re incredibly excited for the weekend and can’t wait to meet some of you in person and see your friendly faces!

From our previous convention experiences, we learned pretty quickly that demo spots fill up fast, so this time we’ve decided to start taking bookings in advance for Nataterra demos during the expo. So if you haven’t grabbed your copy yet and want to come visit us, try the game, or simply have a chat, come find us at:

🎲 Stand 4-489

Demo slots will run hourly throughout the day:

9am–10am

10am–11am

11am–12pm

12pm–1pm
…and so on for the rest of the event.

If you’d like to secure a spot, just send us a message on Instagram!

And because we love rewarding early Goblins 😄
We’re also offering a special 20% discount on Nataterra purchases for the first three demo slots of the day (10am–12pm).

Manufacturing Update 📦

On the manufacturing side, we are finally entering the pickup phase!

Our distribution partners are scheduled to collect the games from China on June 18th. I’ve requested updated ETA estimates for delivery, but I’m still waiting to hear back from the freight companies.

We are very, very close now ❤️

A Possible Nataterra Video Game?! 👀

Now for something really exciting…

We’ve started collaborating with False Ibis, a small indie video game studio, to explore bringing Nataterra not only to your tables… but also to your Steam library 🎮

Right now, we’re still in the brainstorming phase and waiting to finalise the proper agreements and paperwork, so nothing is officially confirmed yet.

BUT…

The team at False Ibis has been absolutely smashing Nataterra on TTS over the past few weeks, and they’re incredibly excited about the project — and honestly, so am I.

It’s still early days, but hopefully this becomes something very special.

Story Update ✍️

For those of you following the Nataterra story, Chapter 3 has now been released for full-story supporters!

Please leave comments, ask questions, and share your thoughts — I genuinely want to know what you think and keep improving the world with your feedback.

And if you’ve only read Chapter 1 so far and enjoyed it, please consider supporting the project by purchasing the full story access. Every bit of support goes directly into editing and professional proofreading to make the story better and better over time.

Thank you so much for all your support, as always.

And if you’re coming to UKGE this weekend — come say hi ❤️

P.S. I also can’t wait to go back to Rome after the event and eat like an absolute pig 😂
I missed the food here so much that I’ve been acting like a kid in a candy shop, taking photos of basically everything.

With love,
Amir :)

Manufacturing Updates, GenCon, Story Progress & One Very Cool Dragon 👀
28 days ago – Sun, May 10, 2026 at 12:05:41 AM

Hello everyone! 

Hope you’re all doing well ❤️

First of all, we finally managed to update our flights for Game Expo UK. We won’t be flying through the Emirates anymore — instead, we’ll be travelling through China, which honestly makes us feel a bit better given the current situation in the Middle East.

Speaking of that… as you can imagine, the rise in petrol prices is affecting pretty much everything right now. Not only our daily living costs, but also import/export, freight shipping, and local distribution costs worldwide.

At this stage, I have no intention of asking anyone for additional shipping costs. I’ve been conservative with the size of the print run and the amount of stock being moved, so the increase should be manageable on my side. I simply wanted to be transparent and keep everyone aware of the situation.
If things were to escalate significantly and costs became unreasonable, I may have to either:

apply a small additional shipping surcharge (as many campaigns are currently doing), or

strategically delay the movement of freight containers while waiting for the situation to stabilise.

But again — right now, I don’t want anyone to worry.

Manufacturing Update 🎲

We also had… let’s call it an “interesting” manufacturing surprise 😅

Due to a miscommunication on the manufacturer’s side, they printed the wrong quantity of versions:

Instead of 250 DELUXE + 750 CORE

They printed 750 DELUXE + 250 CORE

Yes. I absolutely lost my mind for a moment.

Thankfully, after a lot of discussion, we found a workable solution.

Most of the DELUXE components are removable from the box, so we’ll recover those materials separately and eventually offer them as special items through my channels.

The manufacturer is now reprinting the missing 500 CORE boxes while subsidising most of the cost on their side, and using the essential components from the extra DELUXE copies to balance the production numbers correctly.

The only compromise is that 500 CORE copies will still include:

The DELUXE Scenario Book and the 4 DELUXE punchboards with the fancy civilisation artwork

Honestly… we can live with that 😊

GenCon News 🇺🇸

Very exciting news: Nataterra is officially locked in for GenCon!

Unfortunately, I won’t personally be there, but our coordinator Joshua will be running Nataterra demos across all four days of the convention.

There are two ticket options:

  • A free demo ticket to try the game
  • A “Try & Buy” ticket ($100 USD) if you’d like to secure a copy directly there

If you haven’t bought the game yet, this is an awesome chance to finally try it with someone teaching you directly.

You can sign up here:

Australian Store Is Live 🇦🇺

For our Australian friends, the shop is now officially ready!

At the moment, orders are available only within Australia while we finish setting up EU and North American fulfilment.

The Nataterra Story ✍️

My editor and I have decided to take a different approach with the Nataterra story.

We’re turning it into a “live story” experience.

Instead of waiting until everything is fully complete, I’ll release chapters progressively while actively improving the story with your feedback along the way. I heard this is a great way to write great stories! Some of the best ideas and improvements in Nataterra came directly from this community, simply by listening to you all over the years.

I’d love to do the same with the story.

So please:

  • Read it!
  • Leave comments!
  • Ask hard questions!
  • Challenge me!

I want this world to grow the same way the game did — together.

The first chapter of Beyond Stone and Blood is free for everyone:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UMcE91og0B7BbVJ2hSAvjVf2a0YaN0a46EKwvPjSCvI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.anqw1oncyczu

For those who backed the game in the first 48 hours (or later purchased the story add-on), the first two chapters are available separately, and Chapter 3 will be released next month. You’ll receive an email with access when it’s ready.

And finally… one last special touch 👀

We’ve started collaborating with a new studio to create some moulded pieces for Nataterra. I don’t have the commercial rights finalised just yet, but I’m hopeful we’ll have some available by PAX Australia.

In the meantime… meet our newest family member:

Manufacturing Confirmed, Expo Highlights & Next Steps
3 months ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 12:59:30 AM

Hello everyone,

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who came by the stand this weekend to say hi and play Nataterra at Game Expo 2026 in Melbourne ❤️
It was amazing to see so much interest — and yes… we even sold some new pre-orders 👀
Let’s just say: there are a few new Goblins in the "Crack in the Wall", if you know what I mean.

Now for the big news:

Manufacturing is finally locked in and officially underway. 🎉
Copies are expected to be ready for collection by our fulfilment partners on May 20th.

I know — this is later than we all hoped. I understand the disappointment, and I truly appreciate your patience. We are finally moving forward, and that’s a huge step.

On my side, it’s now time to take care of all the freight invoices I’ve been holding off on. Fingers crossed that costs haven’t shifted too much recently.

Travel & Game Expo UK

I’m still planning to attend Game Expo UK; however, my flight route through Abu Dhabi and the current situation in the region make things a bit uncertain.

I’m hopeful everything settles before then, but there is a possibility of last-minute changes or cancellations. We’ll see how things develop.
More importantly, I just hope for a peaceful resolution for everyone affected.

⚠️ Address Lock Reminder

Shipping addresses are now officially locked.

From now on, if you need to update your address, please contact me directly by email so I can assist you manually.

Thank you all again for your patience and support. I’m doing everything I can to get Nataterra into your hands as soon as possible.

We’re getting closer.

With love,
Amir ❤️

Production Update – Final Adjustments Before Manufacturing
3 months ago – Sat, Mar 07, 2026 at 11:48:17 PM

Hi everyone,

First of all, let’s acknowledge the reality: we are late on the March delivery, as many of you probably expected by now. I’m truly sorry for that.

The good news is that we have now paid the first manufacturing invoice, which means things are finally moving forward.

Right now, we are working through the final issues discovered in the prototype to make sure everything is correct before mass production begins. Some of the adjustments we identified include:

Cube and dice colours

Image print quality

Card material quality

Missing zip bags

Double-layer boards not perfectly centred

All of these are relatively simple fixes.

The only significant concern we discovered involves the plastic insert inside the box. At first, everything looked fine, but once I sleeved the cards, I realised there wasn’t enough space to store them properly. This happened after some adjustments were made to fit the dice in the box.

From the very beginning, the plan has always been for the box to fit all cards sleeved, so this needs to be fixed before production.

Since we cannot wait for a completely new full prototype, the current plan is to reprint only the plastic insert with a revised design, test it, and confirm that everything fits correctly before approving mass production.

I know this has been a long wait, and I truly appreciate your patience. We are getting very close, and I’ll let you know as soon as manufacturing officially begins.

One more important note:
I will soon be extracting the shipping information from BackerKit, so if you still need to update your address, please send me an email as soon as possible.

Finally, next weekend, Nataterra will be showcased at Game Expo in Melbourne. If any of you are around, please come say hello — I’d love to meet you in person!

Thank you again for your patience and support. I’ll keep you posted as soon as there’s more news.

With love,
Amir

Final Prototype Day 🎉 We’re So Close!
4 months ago – Mon, Feb 16, 2026 at 01:38:43 AM

Hello everyone!

Today is a big day.

The final prototype before manufacturing has officially arrived 🎉

I can’t even explain the feeling of holding this version in my hands. This is the last step before we give the green light to full production.

Right now, we’re going through everything carefully — checking components, cards, dice, trays, print quality — making sure every single detail is correct. This is the moment where we catch anything small before thousands of copies get printed.

To celebrate, I filmed an unboxing video just for you!

It feels surreal to be this close.

If everything checks out… we move to manufacturing.

Thank you for being on this journey with me.

With love,
Amir 🎲✨
