This update originally appeared on the StarDriven: Gateway Kickstarter page and is reposted here so that fans can keep up to date with Rock Manor Games projects.
Game Progress
We received and approved German samples along with the corrected storage tray for the base game that holds all the System Tiles. We’ve also received final miniatures for the base game and samples of the upgraded ink-washed minis. We also received and approved all the custom dice and other sourced materials.
We’re currently working through final approvals with the factory. Manufacturing of both English and German versions should be completed within approximately 30 days, including all miniatures and dice. Final assembly, ink-washing, and Kickstarter labeling will require an additional 20 days, putting us on track for a January 30th pickup date.
Estimated Timeline:
Unfortunately, I’m going to push back our estimated timeline a bit based on this factory milestone.
- December 2025: Final production samples approved,
- January 30th 2026: Manufacturing & Assembly completed
- February – March 2026: Freight Shipping
- March – April 2026: Fulfillment
- April – May 2026: Project completed / Retail Release
Now that we have a complete game in the office, we took the liberty of playing a cooperative game trying to thwart the Nautiloid Invasion. I nearly blew up and lost it for us, but Todd’s Railgun saved the day.
We’ve started filming tutorial videos to help you hit the ground running when Star Driven arrives early next year. Here is the first one we’ve uploaded so far:
