Backer Update #1: One Month In – Your Support is Shaping Kaladan

A month ago, we opened the gates to Generals of Kaladan – and what a journey it's been.

We're not just creators talking to customers. We're worldbuilders talking to fellow dreamers. Because that's what you are. You believed in this vision when it was just an idea, a promise, and a world waiting to be born.

And now? That world is taking shape – thanks to you.

⚔️ The Journey So Far

Let's talk numbers, but not the corporate kind. These are milestones built on trust, passion, and community:

31 units sold in two weeks – without spending a single coin on ads
Zero ad budget – just word of mouth, heart, and hustle (that will change soon as we ramp up ads after the Black Friday and Christmas rush)
Loads of feedback – every comment, question, and suggestion has shaped our path
A growing tribe on Instagram – you're not just followers, you're the heartbeat of this world. We continue to share content daily and our views are consistently around the 500 mark. We aim to keep growing.

🎲 What We've Built Together

Your voices didn't just echo – they moved mountains. Here's what we've done this month:

Website Evolution

We listened. You asked for easier payment options, so we added:

Credit card payments for seamless global transactions
iDeal integration for our Dutch community

Authentic Storytelling

Our homepage now features:

Real gameplay footage – no smoke and mirrors, just honest play
Instruction videos showing the game in action, in real life
Cinematic content that invites you deeper into the lore

A Step Closer to Bringing the Game to Your Tables

We're genuinely excited about this: we've found our manufacturing partner. And not just any partner.

Nilco Egypt

The same hands that craft games for Hasbro, Disney, and Blue Orange are now bringing Kaladan to life. When we first walked into their facility and saw the precision, the care, the mastery – we knew: this is where your collector's edition belongs.

We're not handing this off to just anyone. We're entrusting it to artisans who understand what it means to build something that lasts, something that matters. Your game won't just be manufactured – it will be crafted.

And honestly? Knowing that the same team who's produced some of the most iconic games in the world is now working on ours – on yours – is surreal. We can't wait for you to hold it in your hands.
