A New Adventure Awaits in the EOS Universe! 🌌
about 1 month ago – Mon, Dec 09, 2024 at 12:13:59 PM

Dear Backers,

First, let me say thank you! It’s been just over a year since the Kickstarter for Project EOS Rise, and in that time, your support has truly made my dreams come true. Thanks to you, we successfully printed and shipped copies of the game all over the world (ahead of schedule)! Seeing Project EOS Rise come to life and hearing your feedback has been an incredible journey.

For those who missed the Kickstarter, we’re down to limited stock on our online store—so if you’ve been meaning to grab another copy (or gift one to a friend), now’s the time!

But I’m not here just to look back.

🚀 What's Next?

Thanks to your incredible support, we’re not only looking ahead but also improving what we’ve already built.

Updated Rulebook for Project EOS Rise

We’ve been hard at work revising the Project EOS Rise rulebook based on your valuable feedback. The updated version will:

• Streamline the turn sequence, making gameplay smoother and more intuitive.
• Incorporate new rules inspired by suggestions from our amazing community.

The original game will remain as is—there’s no need for an upgrade kit to enjoy these changes. For those interested, the revised rules will be:

• Free to download as a PDF on our website.
• Available as a printed version for a small cost for those who prefer a physical copy.

We’re excited to share these refinements and enhance the experience for all players soon!

Announcing The Drift

In addition to the rulebook update, I’ve been developing my next big project: The Drift. This standalone, solo survival game takes place in the same universe as Project EOS Rise and offers an entirely new adventure.

The Story:

In the vast, silent reaches of space, you are alone. Piloting the SS Raptor, you’ve been assigned to explore the Paradise sector, humanity’s last hope. But disaster strikes when you encounter the Zentor forces. In a desperate escape, you plunge into an anomaly—a spiraling energy beacon of unknown origin.

You awaken in the eerie, abandoned expanse known as the Void.

Key Features:

Solo Survival Experience – This adventure is crafted solely for the solo player, placing you in the heart of a silent, hostile cosmos where every choice shapes your journey.

Roguelite Progression – Each life brings progress. When death arrives, carefully stored gear and items preserved in Quantum Guide Epsilon carry over to your next attempt, turning each failure into an opportunity to adapt and grow stronger.

Survival and Resource Management – Master survival by balancing your hunger, thirst, stamina, and health as you navigate the Void. Gather scarce resources, craft essential gear, and adapt to the constantly shifting challenges of each sector.

Boundless, Ongoing Adventure – With ten dangerous sectors, unexpected hazards, and unique missions, The Drift allows you to play in quick bursts or commit to longer sessions, making each playthrough feel like a new journey.

Instant Setup & Save System – Return to the table in under a minute with The Drift’s intuitive setup and save system. Dive back into the adventure exactly where you left off, ready to face the dangers of the Void.

Will you survive The Drift, or will the Void claim you?

Meet Kimberly Foster

I’m thrilled to introduce our first pilot: Kimberly Foster, a scouting specialist and the protagonist of The Drift. Born under the endless stars of rural America, Kimberly’s grit and intellect make her the perfect explorer. She’ll be your guide through the dangers of the Void—relying on her sharp flying skills, resourcefulness, and a bit of luck.

📅 Coming Fall 2025

The Drift is set to launch on Kickstarter in Fall 2025. If you’ve loved the EOS universe so far, this is a journey you won’t want to miss!
