Maelstrom game kickstarter11/28/2023 ![]() If you have some time and the game concept interests you, please check out the Kickstarter page and share it with whomever would be interested in this type of game. You have also helped me out on many occasions, thanks! Our Maelstrom Kickstarter just sailed into harbor at 161 funded We’ve been overwhelmed by the response from everyone, and even more by the generous feedback from the beta testers. This all resulted in a great continued development experience for which I want to thank not only Epic but also the great community members that contribute to the engine or help people out on the boards. Not once did the team regret choosing UE for development due to its great features, constant updates and to my liking, the engine being open source and Epic’s openness to user-submitted bug fixes. ![]() The game is made with Unreal Engine and I remember development started back when the engine was still at version 4.7. Please consider backing us to make this possible! In the space of fifty years, Earth changed from a planet on cusp of a challenging future to a world a breath away from lifelessness and plunged into an apocalyptic time of ecological disaster, global warfare and the meltdown of human civilization. Specifically, we want to create a story campaign to build the world, hire professional voice actors to make the captains and crew come to life and make all ship customizations visible on the ship. We still have a lot of content to produce, visuals to polish and audio to add. The multiplayer gameplay is currently very stable and single player content is well underway. Fog of war and team shared vision encourage faster ships to scout areas for enemies, while the bulkier ships capture and hold objectives. Unlockable crew mates offer additional bonuses, while switchable captains bring unique activated abilities. Ships excel at different aspects, but customization allows you to effectively deviate from their base play style. The combat mechanics revolve around firing cannons at long distances, changing ammo types to target enemy sails or crew, ramming other ships and boarding them to kill their crew. In this game you enter online battles with customized ships. With forces typically built from 20 to 30 models a side, Maelstrom's Edge is easy to model, easy to paint and easy to play. On behalf of Gunpowder Games I would proudly like to announce the Kickstarter campaign and first reveal of the game we’ve been working on: Maelstrom! I have been working with this team for almost three years to build a multiplayer game around fast paced naval combat that takes place in a fantasy universe with humans, orcs and dwarves. Maelstrom's Edge is a tabletop war game using detailed plastic miniatures that fills the gap between small scale skirmish games with several individual models per side and large scale war games with scores of models per side. ]( Maelstrom - Thunderous Fantasy Naval Combat!
